Don't go in the water - it can kill pets
The plant can be harmful to humans and highly toxic to animals. It appears naturally in lakes, rivers and ponds - but can increase in volume considerably during periods of warm weather.The authority is now working with the Environment Agency to ensure people understand the dangers and keep their pets and children away from the water.
The Environment Agency is responsible for monitoring blue-green algae. Posters are being displayed warning of the dangers and it’s expected the warning will be in place until the cooler weather sets in. “Dogs are at risk if they drink the water or lick their coat after swimming with severe symptoms requiring rapid vet treatment. During this time, please keep dogs on a lead and carry a bottle of water for them to drink.”
