Did you know that Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, meaning it can spread from animals to humans? It's the most common zoonotic infection in the world and is caused by the bacteria Leptospira. Humans can contract leptospirosis through contact with infected animals' urine, soil, or water. The most common ways to get infected are through urine or contaminated water getting into your eyes, nose, mouth, or broken skin.
Recently, Veterinary Health Authorities have updated the core vaccine recommendations for dogs to now include the leptospirosis vaccine. If your Dog is not up-to-date, we highly recommended making an appointment with us to ensure they are protected.
