Leptospirosis,
It's in puddles at the park.
It's in the soil after a good rain.
And a study in Boston showed nearly 1 in 5 rats were carrying it!

What is it you may ask? Leptospirosis is a type of bacteria that's lives in water and or wet soil here in the Maritimes and all over the world. It causes a variety of flu-like symptoms, but can easily develop into more sever, life threating illness that can affect the kidneys, liver, lungs and eyes. These symptoms tend to be more severe in unvaccinated pets.

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) has listed leptospirosis as a core vaccine for ALL dogs everywhere. Vaccines and yearly heath checkups help ensure our pets well-being and safety, we are here to help your pet stay healthy and happy.
