Toxic algae
We've had early reports of toxic algae in some of our awa/rivers. Unfortunately, dogs like to seek out the algae and eat it, causing serious harm.
We monitor water quality at recreation sitesโฏover summer for toxic algae, however, site assessments are based on the risk to human health. It is not always possible to observe small amounts of toxic algae that could still be dangerous for dogs.
If youโre ever in doubt about the water quality, then keep your dog on a leash and away from the waterโs edge.
It's vital to know what to look for to keep your dogs safe ๐ www.ecan.govt.nz...
