Wiggling Tails

🚨 Blue-green algae can make dogs critically ill, sometimes in minutes.

Summer adventures with our dogs often mean visits to lakes, ponds, beaches, and outdoor spaces. But not all water is safe.

Blue-green algae, also called cyanobacteria or toxic algae, can produce dangerous toxins that may seriously harm dogs, sometimes after only brief exposure or small amounts of contaminated water.

Dog parents should watch for:

• Green or pea soup–like water
• Paint-like swirls or surface scum
• Murky or stagnant water
• Symptoms such as vomiting, drooling, weakness, tremors, or seizures

A few simple dog safety habits can help protect your pup:

✔ Avoid suspicious or stagnant water
✔ Bring fresh drinking water on outdoor adventures
✔ Rinse paws and fur after lake or pond visits
✔ Stay aware of local water and algae advisories
✔ Contact your veterinarian immediately if exposure is suspected

When it comes to water safety for dogs, trust your instincts.

When in doubt, stay out.

Have you ever come across water that made you second guess letting your dog go in?

Please save and share this post awareness and preventive pet care help keep more dogs safe.

Wiggling Tails wouldn’t exist without this little face. ❤️

Before the ranch, before the vans, before the daycare crew our clients know today… there was Fana. 🐾

The little doggie who started it all. The heart behind the dream, and the reason this journey ever began.

From one very loved pup grew a community, a ranch full of happy dogs, and a life we could have never imagined back then.

Throwing it way back today for the one who changed everything. ❤️
