Canine leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can have serious consequences in dogs and can also affect humans.

"It is more common in the warmer weather months, especially after periods of heavy rainfall," says Dr. Aly Cohen, extension veterinarian for the Riney Canine Health Center.

Prevention of leptospirosis includes vaccination, and pet owners should discuss with their veterinarian if vaccination is appropriate for their dog.

"Any dog can be at risk, either from drinking stagnant water, other exposure to urine-contaminated water or soil, which could be right in the backyard."

Obesity and weight loss are one of the most common nutritional discussions we have on a daily basis. Below are some of the most common weight loss recommendations.

✅Canned food is always preferred over dry due to the higher protein level, lower carbohydrate level, and higher water content which is beneficial for overall hydration, kidney, and, bladder health.

✅Any dry food fed should be greater than 40% protein (you can find this listed on the label on that bag). Always check the label also for calorie count per cup and the fat percentage. If your cat is overweight, aim for a lower calorie (~300 kcal/cup) and lower fat option (8-10% fat). Anything over 400 kcal/cup and 15% fat is very high calorie, high fat. If there is a range to feed on the bag the lower end is generally an okay starting point, but may still be too high for some cats prone to obesity.

✅Cats prefer smaller, more frequent meals spread out over the course of the day/night.

✅Most cats will become overweight if dry food is left out all the time (free fed). Food puzzles are a better means of feeding dry food as it provides enrichment for the cat and makes that have to work for their food, which is more their natural instinct.

Fleas and ticks are ectoparasites, meaning they are pests that live on the outside of their host.

In order for fleas and tick to survive, they must bite their host and then feed on the blood. These bites can directly impact your dog’s health. The saliva from a flea bite can cause severe allergies, dermatitis, anemia, itching, and infection. Tick bites can cause infection, abscesses, paralysis, and even death.

These nasty parasites can also harbor and spread a variety of diseases to dogs, including:
* Lyme disease
* Anaplasmosis
* Bartonellosis
* Rocky Mountain Spotted fever
* Tapeworms
* Babesiosis

The veterinarians and staff at University Animal Hospital strongly recommend keeping your pets on a monthly flea, tick and Heartworm preventative and it’s important to stay on schedule with these preventive in order for them to be successful in protecting your pet.

If you have any questions or need to refill your pets preventative, please call 📞 336-279-1003!
