While we love spring for the warmer weather and sunnier days, it also likes to bring with it a bit more rain…and more puddles! When your pet is outside, keep them from drinking stagnant water or puddles. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection spread through the urine of infected wildlife that is often found in water and soil. The bacteria can live for days in its environment and cause severe illness for your pet. Feel free to reach out to us for more information about how to protect your pet.

Even cats who are indoors most of the time can still be at risk of contracting diseases that parasites carry. Be sure to bring them in to the clinic this spring so we can help make sure they are protected!

Cats can be pretty fastidious about their grooming, so if you notice changes in their coat or grooming habits it is best to bring them into their veterinarian for an exam. Decreased grooming and a more dishevelled looking coat can be signs of an underlying medical issue.
