  • Title: [Swimming in summer].
    Author: Scheepstra DR, Lipman LJ.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; 2006 Oct 15; 131(20):742-4. PubMed ID: 17073383.
    Abstract:
    It happens every summer: 'Swimming prohibited because of cyanobacteria'. Blooming of these toxine producing bacteria in warm summer months is a well known risk for swimming human beings. But how big is this risk for swimming dogs? And how big are other risks? In this article these risks are assessed for dogs that occasionally swim in surface water during the summer in the Netherlands. Based on these findings an advice will be given for dog owners to keep these risks for waterborne infections as small as possible.
