IMPORTANT HEALTH ALERT
We would like to inform all of our clients that there have recently been several confirmed cases of canine leptospirosis in TriBeCa and Battery Park City. We want to keep your pets as healthy as possible so we ask that you take a moment and please read this alert.

Leptospirosis is a bacteria that is spread in the urine of rats, mice, raccoons and infected dogs. It causes sudden kidney and/or liver failure in dogs that is life threatening. Leptospirosis is one of the few diseases that can be contagious to a human. Due to the danger to the dog and the person living with the dog, we are advising that all dogs be vaccinated for leptospirosis. Please check your dog's vaccination records and make sure s/he is vaccinated against leptospirosis.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have or to vaccinate your pets against this pathogen. Call or stop in if you have any questions or if you wish to schedule an appointment.
