Veterinarians are urging pet owners to vaccinate their dogs annually for Leptospirosis, a potentially deadly disease that can affect the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and heart. The American Veterinary Medical Association has issued a nationwide warning about a rise in Leptospirosis cases in dogs, with local veterinarians in St. Joseph County reporting cases. The disease is spread through the urine of infected animals and can survive in water or soil for weeks to months. Pet owners are advised to be proactive about their pet's health and visit their veterinarian at least once a year.

A veterinarian in Springfield, Missouri, is providing tips on how to prevent pet cancers during Pet Cancer Awareness Month. Regular veterinary exams are crucial for early detection, as they allow for the identification of any abnormalities such as lumps, bumps, or changes in behavior. Pet owners are encouraged to monitor their pets' health, keep track of any changes, and report them to their veterinarian. Spaying or neutering pets can help prevent certain types of cancer, and owners of Golden Retrievers and Boxers should be particularly vigilant as these breeds are more susceptible to cancer.
