With the return of the cool damp fall weather, we are seeing a significant increase in the cases of leptospirosis.

Leptospirosis (or "lepto") is a bacteria shed in the urine of skunks, raccoons, deer and rodents. Dogs can get it from drinking from puddles, swimming in ponds or from the dew on the grass (licking the dew off their paws after being outside).

The disease affects the kidneys and liver, causing a number of signs- increased thirst and urination, vomiting, loss of appetite and lethargy. In severe cases, lepto can cause death.

The disease can be prevented by vaccination. Contact the clinic to see if your dog is protected.

This infection can be caught by humans as well as by dogs. Learn about the leptospira organism, and how we test, treat and vaccinate against the disease (in dogs, that is).

Ticks can be found in many areas across Canada but they prefer to live in wooded areas, in tall grasses and under leaf litter. They can also be found in urban areas, like city parks and green spaces.
Avoiding tick habitats help reduce the risk of exposure.
Ixodes species (such as the blacklegged tick) prefer moist environments like leaf litter.
Dermacentor species (such as the American dog or wood tick), a hardier tick, can live in drier environments like tall grasses.

Heads up to any of our clients (and patients) who may be traveling to the United States later this summer or next winter. There are new requirements for your dog to enter the United States. Call or email us if you want to know if your pet is ready to travel!

Starting on August 1, all dogs entering the U.S. (including those that left the U.S. and are returning, and regardless of the country they are coming from) must be:
• healthy upon arrival
• at least 6 months of age
• microchipped
• accompanied by a CDC Dog Import Form receipt and required vaccination and veterinary documents.

Additional requirements may apply depending on where the dog has been in the last 6 months and whether or not the dog was vaccinated in the United States.

Use CDC’s Q&A tool (the CDC “DogBot”) to determine what rules apply to your dog: https://bit.ly/2rww2bq
