Leptospirosis is a dangerous, and potentially deadly, bacterial disease that can be harmful to both humans and animals.

Leptospirosis damages the kidneys and liver of dogs, humans and other animals, but is only rarely seen in cats. It is spread through the urine of infected dogs, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, rodents and other common wildlife.

Vaccination is the best way to prevent leptospirosis. Your dog can become infected by drinking, swimming in or walking through contaminated water or soil, or by consuming wildlife such as rats and mice.

If you ever notice unusual symptoms in your pet, we are here to help.

How fresh is your pet's breath? If it's on the stinky side, a complete dental cleaning is probably needed.
Abnormal dental issues can lead to other systemic diseases in your pet. It is recommended that large dogs have a dental cleaning at least once a year while smaller breed dogs and cats may require twice yearly cleanings due to various dental health issues.
Dental home care is also recommended to maintain your pet's oral health in between dental cleanings.

If your pet appears to have yellow or brown build up on their teeth or foul smelling breath, schedule an appointment today to have your pet's oral health evaluated. Let us help you help your pet improve their oral health.

With heat waves sweeping across the country, blue-green algae is appearing in new areas and posing an increased risk to pets.

Found in lakes, ponds or any source of standing water, it’s extremely toxic and consuming it can be fatal. The best way to prevent accidental poisoning is to keep a close eye on pets when they’re around water.

If you think your pet has been exposed, take them to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital and contact the ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435.
