In 2019, several dogs in the city of Austin died after coming into contact with the toxic algae.
"If you see them experiencing symptoms like diarrhea, lethargy, vomiting, tremors, seizures, you know that something's wrong," said Ross."They love it so that warm temperatures, shallow bodies of stagnant water, that's what they love. But they can be in all temperatures, all water, and they are found all over the world," said Ross.If you or your pets come in contact with algae, experts say rinse off with clean water.
