Do I really need to vaccinate against Leptospirosis (Lepto)?
Yes. Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease (transmittable to humans) and has greatly increased in occurrence in recent years. We have seen several infected animals here at Oak Knoll, in fact. Lepto is contracted through contact with wildlife or wildlife waste. Simply drinking from a stream in which raccoons have urinated may be enough to infect your dog.
