Remove the Leptospirosis Vaccine Requirement for Dog Daycare & Boarding
We respectfully request the removal of the mandatory leptospirosis vaccination requirement for dogs in daycare & boarding facilities. My dog had a bad reaction to the Leptospirosis Vaccine & a large patch of her skin fell off, she now has a permanent bald patch, others have experienced much worse.

Background
Adverse Reactions: Many dogs experience severe side effects from the leptospirosis vaccine, causing distress for pets & owners.
Limited Efficacy: The vaccine’s effectiveness varies, & not all dogs are at risk of exposure to leptospirosis.
Informed Choice: Pet owners should have the right to make healthcare decisions for their pets without mandatory requirements.
Alternative Measures: Improved sanitation & monitoring can effectively reduce the risk of leptospirosis without mandatory vaccination.
