Canine Leptospirosis

Leptospirosis is the most widespread infection between animal and human species in the world, and dogs can be the source of infection. ^1-3

Rise in Outbreaks

Rat activity is rising across the country, in cities like Seattle, Chicago, Miami, and others, putting people and pets at higher risk of exposure.⁴

How Does Lepto Spread?^1,2

The bacteria can get into the water or soil and survive there for weeks or months.

The bacteria enter the body through the eyes, nose, mouth, or through a cut or scratch.

Bacteria multiply in the bloodstream and move to the kidneys and other tissues to continue reproducing.

Once the bacteria reach the kidneys and bladder, bacteria is spread each time the dog urinates.

Other dogs, wild animals, or people can become infected through direct or indirect contact with the urine.
