Avoid stagnant bodies of water that have visible algal blooms, scum, foam on the surface, or rotten odors.
Check for reported blooms. The state of Colorado monitors some (but not all) bodies of water for cyanotoxins.
Adhere to signage around bodies of water that may warn of contamination.
Remove stagnant water (fountains, birdbaths, and even plant containers) at home to prevent blue-green algae growth.
If you think your pet may have been exposed to an algal bloom, seek veterinary care immediately. AESC provides emergency care 24/7/365, even on holidays.
