Few places rival the breathtaking beauty of Colorado with its pristine lakes, majestic mountains, and abundant wildlife. However, the endless choice of outdoor adventures can increase the risks of certain dangers to your dogs and cats. Here are some common dangers faced by pets in the Centennial State:
Two species of rattlesnakes can be found in the CO wilderness: the prairie rattlesnake and the massasauga. Snakes could pique your pet’s interest, and result in a potentially deadly altercation. A rattlesnake bite requires immediate medical intervention, and the cost for treatment can fluctuate between several hundred to multiple thousands of dollars, depending on the severity.
Blue-green algae occurs when there is an excess of nutrients from sources like stormwater or agricultural run-off. Water containing toxic algae blooms will often have the appearance of a pea-green paint or appear as though there’s slime on the surface. Dogs and cats can develop poisoning when they drink from, or even simply swim in, contaminated water sources.
The Rocky Mountain tick, known for transmitting Colorado tick fever, is prevalent across the state. This illness can result in various symptoms in humans and pets, and in severe instances, it can cause damage to nerves and organs.
