Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal disease caused by the bacteria Leptospira, which can affect both dogs and humans. Dogs can be protected through vaccination, although there may be some side effects. Recent advancements in vaccine manufacturing have resulted in a leptospirosis vaccine that is no more likely to cause adverse events than other vaccines. Diagnosis and treatment for leptospirosis in dogs involve various tests and antibiotics. Humans can also contract leptospirosis, but transmission between humans is rare. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent leptospirosis in dogs.
