Field dogs and working breeds aren’t the only ones who get leptospirosis. Wherever dogs and wildlife cross paths, from the dog park to your client’s own backyard, exposure to leptospirosis is an ever-increasing risk.1

Over the last 10 years, cases of canine leptospirosis have been increasingly reported across the United States, due to the emergence of non-traditional canine Leptospira serovars like L. pomona and L. grippotyphosa.1 It is particularly a problem in suburban areas where dogs are coming in ever-closer contact with wildlife. Even more disturbing is the fact that human cases of leptospirosis contracted from dogs and other species are also on the rise.1 Leptospirosis is considered to be one of the most common zoonotic diseases worldwide.
