Thanks for the reminder Dan. We have a problem with blue algae at our local nature reserve and around Preston docks. Obviously we don't allow Malaika to go near and i try to discourage her from drinking any water other that what comes out of a tap.

I know I have to keep Buddy pulled back from any standing water as he'll take a sip even though I carry bottled water for him on our walks. :rolleyes: You don't even want them to get their feet in it as then they'll lick the foot and may get sick.
