Important Update: Leptospirosis Now a Core Vaccine for all dogs starting at 12 weeks of age – regardless of lifestyle, location, or breed. If your pet is not vaccinated for Lepto, this can be discussed during their next wellness exam. The Leptospirosis vaccine needs to be boostered 3-4 weeks after the initial booster. From there it should be boostered annually. If you have any questions or would like them to be vaccinated earlier, please give us a call! Follow the links below if you would like to learn more.

🚨 Important Update: Leptospirosis Now a Core Vaccine for ALL Dogs
The 2022 AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines have been updated to classify the leptospirosis vaccine as CORE for all dogs starting at 12 weeks of age – regardless of lifestyle, location, or breed.
Why the change?
🌆 ALL dogs are at risk—urban, suburban, and rural.
⚠️ Potentially fatal, even with treatment.
🔄 Zoonotic—it can spread from pets to humans.
🏢 Dogs in daycare and kennels also face exposure risks.
You can find the full update in the Nov/Dec issue of JAAHA, or check out the full 2022 Canine Vaccination Guidelines here: aaha.org/canine-vaccinations
