Pet Care Tips

Owning a pet can be a rewarding experience for you and your family, but pets can also transmit diseases that may be harmful to humans. These are called zoonotic diseases. Some of these can be transmitted from animals to humans - like leptospirosis - and some may infect both animals and humans - like Lyme disease. That is why it is important to take precautions to protect both your family and your pet from zoonotic diseases. You share so many wonderful things with your pet, but disease shouldn't be one of them. Many zoonotic diseases can be prevented by vaccination. Vaccines are now available for leptospirosis, Lyme disease, rabies, and giardia. In addition, twice-a-year wellness exams performed by your veterinarian can help detect and treat zoonotic infections before they become serious, or are transmitted to other pets or people in your household. Ask your veterinarian about flea and tick control. Brush and inspect your pet for ticks after each outing. Don´t let your pet drink from standing water outdoors. Don´t let your pet come into contact with feces or urine of other animals. Remove food, garbage, or nesting materials that may attract disease-carrying wildlife.
