Pet owners have been warned by the British Veterinary Association (BVA) to keep an eye on their dogs when out walking near lakes and ponds this summer due to toxic blue-green algae blooms. The algae has recently been reported in various locations across the UK, including in the Lake District with blooms spotted along Lake Windermere.
Thanks for highlighting this. We’re off to the lakes, sitting in Grange over Sands in a few weeks time, it’s a beautiful part of the world!
