🚨 Important Update: Leptospirosis Now a Core Vaccine for ALL Dogs
The 2022 AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines have been updated to classify the leptospirosis vaccine as CORE for all dogs starting at 12 weeks of age – regardless of lifestyle, location, or breed.
Why the change?
🌆 ALL dogs are at risk—urban, suburban, and rural.
⚠️ Potentially fatal, even with treatment.
🔄 Zoonotic—it can spread from pets to humans.
🏢 Dogs in daycare and kennels also face exposure risks.
You can find the full update in the Nov/Dec issue of JAAHA, or check out the full 2022 Canine Vaccination Guidelines here: aaha.org/canine-vaccinations

Halloween Safety Tips: Nothing is scarier than when a pet runs away!

🎃While handing out treats, keep the escape artists away from the door.

👻If you plan on bringing your pet trick-or-treating, please have their tags/microchips updated and have them properly leashed.

✨Another safety tip for both your family and your pet is to ensure visibility, use reflective gear or light-up accessories to keep visible to cars and other people in the dark!
