Pet health around Lake Allatoona and the Etowah

Dogs that swim at Allatoona or Red Top Mountain in late summer need a conversation about blue-green algae (dangerous if they drink lake water that looks like spilled paint) and leptospirosis in standing and slow-moving water. If your dog spends weekends on the water, say so when you book.

Wooded ridges between Cartersville and Kingston are good tick country. Heartworm prevention is twelve months, not seasonal. A snakebite is an emergency situation, and should be addressed immediately. We keep anti-venom on hand for that occasion.
