We’re right in the thick of summer, and many areas have been experiencing heatwaves. Dozens of people have been hospitalized across North America in recent days, and people are being urged to keep themselves safe.
But it’s not just humans who are affected by heatwaves, of course. Our pets can suffer in the heat, too. Your dog might enjoy getting respite in the water when it’s hot, but this can also be dangerous if blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, is present – if you set your dog free from one of the best dog leashes on your walk, it’s important to keep an eye on where they’re going.
