We love nature and all of its beauty. With nature comes potential disease; one being ✨Leptospirosis✨. This illness is spread through wildlife urine(including rodents) and bodies of water. It is zoonotic, meaning humans are also at risk. AVMA has made Lepto a core vaccine to protect our babies from this horrible bacterial disease. If your pet has never received this vaccine, we are offering free boosters to get them started to keep our community safe.

Spring is here! And with that comes a warning about Leptospirosis, a disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria.

All dogs are at risk of leptospirosis, regardless of age, breed, lifestyle, geographic location, time of year, and other factors. The following situations can increase that risk:

➡Exposure to or drinking from slow-moving or stagnant water sources, like ponds, rivers, lakes, or streams
➡ Roaming on rural properties (because of exposure to potentially infected wildlife or farm animals or urine-contaminated water sources)
➡ Exposure to wild animals (especially rodents) or farm animals, even if in the backyard
➡ Contact with other dogs (such as in urban areas, dog parks, or boarding or training facilities)
