Dog Gone Clean - Portland/Beaverton

For those outdoor adventurers! Here are some resources and information to help keep your furry friend safe this summer!

Planning to beat the heat with a visit to a lake, river or the coast this weekend? If you’ll be taking your dog with you, take time now to learn more about where there might be dangerous algae blooms, contaminated water, rip currents, or other potential hazards like wildlife or garbage that could harm your pet.

If you’re taking your pet on a boat, keep them safer by putting them in a brightly colored life vest specifically made for animals.
