This week we are celebrating our amazing nurse Nicole for two awesome achievements.
🐾 Nicole has now been working for the Capital Paws Group at both our Kippax and Kaleen clinics for a total of 5 years! Nicole has achieved so much in this time, going from being a superstar receptionist at Kippax, to being a fully qualified Registered Vet Nurse here at Kaleen. We couldn't be prouder of her, or happier to have her as a part of our team ❤️
⚽️ On top of this, Nicole also participated in the Australian Masters Games in soccer last week, and her team from The Belnorth Football Club came first!
Congratulations Nicole for these two impressive feats!

Some important information for pet owners as we head into the warmer months.

🚨 CONFIRMED CASES: ALGAE TOXICITY IN CANBERRA LAKES 🚨

Several recent cases of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) poisoning have been reported in dogs after swimming in Lake Ginninderra and Lake Burley Griffin.

We strongly urge all Canberra dog owners to exercise caution when walking near lakes, ponds, or stagnant water — especially now as we head into the warmer months.

See below for more information about this toxin.
- Found in warm, stagnant water like ponds & lakes
- Dogs can get sick just by drinking, swimming, or licking it off their fur
- Toxins act FAST — signs show up in minutes to hours
- Signs/Symptoms include: Vomiting, seizures, weakness, excessive drooling and breathing difficulty.

Blue-green algae can be DEADLY to dogs — even in tiny amounts.

If exposed: Rinse your dog off immediately and call your vet!

Hot Tip: Bring fresh water for your dog and avoid any water with algae scum or a bad smell.
