Tips to Prevent Spirosis

In addition to speaking to your vet about vaccinating your dog, here are a few tips to prevent illness :
1. Avoid high risk areas such as dog parks.
2. Don't let your dog drink from ponds, lakes & other public water areas.
Give him tap water & take containers with you for him when you do on hikes.
3. Neat up your own yard, both of your dog's poop & any leavings from
other animals that might wander in to your yard. Keep in mind animals includes
rodents, raccoons, skunks, moles as well as other domestic animals.
4. Wash your canines after handling your dog & anything that might have
his urine or poop on it.
5. Neat potentially infected surfaces with an antibacterial solution
or a homemade mixture of bleach & water.
6. Most important - in case you suspect your dog may be sick or infected,
get him to a vet as quickly as feasible. The earlier the treatment, the
better the finish result.
