Protection remains essential
Even if you don’t expect your dog to be in contact with other animals, you can’t predict what may happen when you are out in nature. Prevention is the best way to protect your dog.
It is essential that you update your dog’s vaccinations and parasite prevention treatment. Ask your veterinarian for advice about what vaccines and treatments are best suited to your pet’s lifestyle.
If you plan to head out to any of Quebec’s magnificent parks this summer, you should consider vaccinating your dog against leptospirosis. Leptospira bacteria are found in water, soil and any locations in the environment that have been contaminated by urine from infected wildlife animals.
