New Forest warning over dog-flea chemicals in ponds

The New Forest authorities have issued a warning to dog owners about the potential dangers of using chemical flea treatments near ponds. The chemicals in these treatments can leach into the water and harm aquatic life, including fish, frogs, and other wildlife.

Experts recommend avoiding the use of chemical flea treatments near ponds or other bodies of water. Instead, they suggest using natural or non-toxic alternatives to protect your pets from fleas.

It is important to be mindful of the impact our actions can have on the environment and to take steps to protect the delicate balance of ecosystems like those found in the New Forest. By being responsible pet owners, we can ensure that our furry friends stay healthy without harming the environment.
