More Dogs Killed by Deadly Algae Blooms
Several months ago we posted some scary stories of killer blue-green algae blooms in the United States that had been killing dogs who were playing in water. It looks like it has happened again, but thousands of miles away.Two basset hounds in New Zealand died within 30 minutes of nibbling on poisonous algae blooms in the shallow water along the Hutt River during a walk on New Years Day.
"I went round to let him out and he didn't come out of his kennel and when I called and I looked in there he was dead in his kennel," the owner said of one of the dogs.
I'll say it again. People just don't think about something being in a normal, non-polluted body of water that could kill their pets (and even can kill people). Watch out, folks. Take a look at the picture above, and keep a look out when your dogs are near the water.

Wow, that is unbelievable. As you may already know March is the beginning of Flea & Tick Season, which is so common and people still ignore it. This is the time of year that people all across the country should begin stocking up on their shampoos and dips, flea collars, etc. Bonnie's Bargain Basement.
