Has your dog ever lapped up water from a puddle during a walk, jog, or play session outside, especially after a storm? Did you know that standing water can pose a risk of leptospirosis for dogs?

Today, the team at Ten West Bird & Animal Hospital will dive into what leptospirosis is, what the leptospirosis symptoms in dogs are, and how you can make sure your pup doesn’t get the illness in the first place. 

If your pet is constantly scratching, sneezing, or sporting irritated skin, you’re not alone. Allergies are one of the most common reasons pets visit the veterinarian—and one of the most frustrating to figure out. The cycle of flare-itch-repeat can leave pets and their parents feeling stuck.

The good news? You don’t have to keep guessing. With pet allergy testing in San Antonio, there’s a clearer path toward lasting relief.

Birds are so different from dogs, cats, and even goldfish, but they need just as much care. Perhaps even more than some of the more common pets in the world! Birds are more fragile, tiny, and vulnerable than many other pets. If your little avian friend is acting differently than usual, it’s time to pay attention. Even the slightest variations in behavior could be a sign that your bird is sick. 

Today, the team at 10 West Bird & Animal Hospital is here to help you spot the signs of an issue with your bird’s health before it becomes severe.
