Let's talk Lepto!

Leptospirosis is a serious bacterial infection caused by "Leptospira" bacteria that can affect both dogs and humans. It’s spread through the urine of infected wildlife like rodents, raccoons, and deer. With a milder winter, these animals stay active and so does the bacteria in the environment.

How do dogs get leptospirosis?
🐾 Drinking from puddles, ponds, or standing water
🐾 Walking through contaminated soil or mud
🐾 Contact with infected wildlife or their urine

Why we recommend vaccination:
✔️ Helps protect your dog from a potentially serious (even life-threatening) disease
✔️ Reduces the risk of transmission to your family

Even dogs that don’t roam far can be exposed as leptospirosis can be found right in your backyard, neighborhood, or along walking paths.

If you have questions about vaccinating for leptospirosis, please give us a call!

🐾 Employee Pet of the Month: Meet Duro! 🐾

We’re excited to introduce Duro, a 10-week-old Bracco Italiano puppy owned by our very own CVT, Cinda! 💙

Duro is already stealing hearts around the clinic with his sweet personality and those irresistible puppy eyes. His favorite things include food (of course!), playing fetch, and soaking up all the love he can get from his mom.

The Bracco Italiano is a unique and relatively rare breed, especially here in the U.S. Originating from Italy, this breed is known for its incredible scenting ability and was historically used as a versatile hunting dog. Braccos are gentle, affectionate, and highly intelligent, making them wonderful companions as well as skilled working dogs. They’re also known for their distinctive long ears, expressive faces, and strong, athletic build.

We feel lucky to watch Duro grow and can’t wait to see all the joy (and a little mischief!) he brings to Cinda and everyone he meets.

How do dogs actually get heartworms? 🦟🐶 Let’s break it down for National Heartworm Awareness Month:

Heartworm disease starts with a simple mosquito bite.

Here’s how it happens:
1️⃣ A mosquito bites an infected animal and picks up microscopic heartworm larvae.
2️⃣ That same mosquito then bites your dog, transferring the larvae through the bite wound.
3️⃣ The larvae travel through your dog’s bloodstream and tissues as they grow.
4️⃣ Over the next 6 months, they mature into adult heartworms and settle in the heart and lungs.
5️⃣ Adult worms can grow up to 12 inches long and begin reproducing, continuing the cycle.

By the time symptoms appear, the disease is often already advanced.

The good news? Monthly heartworm prevention stops this lifecycle before it can ever reach the heart. ❤️

Even dogs that rarely go outside are at risk, because mosquitoes can easily get indoors.

Protect your pet before it starts by staying consistent with heartworm prevention and annual testing!

If your pet is due for heartworm prevention, give us a call at (307) 235-4889 or click here to schedule online ➡ https://bestfriendsanimalhealthcenter.com/
