UC Riverside scientists confirm a flatworm deadly to dogs has been found in a portion of the Colorado River that runs through Southern California.
Researching an area where several dogs have become ill, scientists confirm they have found a flatworm called Heterobilharzia americana, also referred to as liver fluke.
“Dogs can die from this infection, so we are hoping to raise public awareness that it’s there,” said UCR nematology professor Adler Dillman. “If you’re swimming in the Colorado River with them, your pets are in peril.”

Loving this app!
Sniffspot now has option to rent pool areas for play, as well as beautiful back yards.
If you’re familiar with Air B n B this is very similar. This can be any yard or area privately owned and available to rent for a certain amount of time on a particular day.
In fact if YOU have an amazing yard that you want to rent out for some pup to play, you might find yourself making some good money, as dog owners like myself are always looking for a private hillside or area to run the dog. I say thumbs up!!**Always be cautious, read the fine print, and pick up after your pooch!
