Leptospirosis risk assessment has changed significantly in recent years.

Once considered primarily a concern for large-breed or rural dogs, leptospirosis is now recognized across a much broader range of patients and environments — including small dogs and urban populations.

The 2022 AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines identify leptospirosis vaccination as a core recommendation for dogs, reflecting the evolving epidemiology of the disease and its zoonotic potential.

🌈 Psychological safety matters in veterinary medicine.

Teams are stronger when people feel safe asking questions, sharing ideas, learning from mistakes, and contributing their perspectives without fear of humiliation or punishment.

During Pride Month, and throughout the year, fostering respectful, inclusive workplace cultures can help support communication, collaboration, wellbeing, and stronger teams across the profession.

The Veterinary Visionaries Psychological Health and Safety Guidelines outline strategies for building psychologically healthier workplaces in veterinary medicine.

When emergencies happen, animals are often part of the story too. 🐾

The First Responders’ Veterinary Network (FRVN) is working to connect veterinarians with local emergency response teams so they can help during car accidents, fires, disasters, and other emergencies involving animals.

The goal? Faster care for injured pets and safer outcomes for both animals and people.

It’s a powerful reminder of the many ways veterinary professionals serve their communities every day.

Cyberattacks, ransomware, and data extortion attacks continue to make headlines — and veterinary hospitals have good reason to pay attention. 🔒

It’s easy to assume cybercriminals only target large corporations. But mid-sized practices are often targeted precisely because their defenses may be easier to breach.

And the consequences go far beyond a locked computer screen. A single attack can:
⚠️ disrupt scheduling
⚠️ expose client payment data
⚠️ compromise employee records
⚠️ interrupt hospital operations
⚠️ erode client trust

The good news? Meaningful cybersecurity improvements don’t always require a massive IT department.

Here are 9 practical ways veterinary hospitals can strengthen cybersecurity preparedness:

1️⃣ Harden new technology deployments using industry configuration standards
2️⃣ Keep software, browsers, and antivirus programs updated
3️⃣ Use a password manager and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA)
4️⃣ Limit user permissions to only what each team member needs
5️⃣ Back up data regularly — both to the cloud and a secure local drive
6️⃣ Vet third-party vendors before connecting them to your network
7️⃣ Train your team to recognize phishing and social engineering attempts
8️⃣ Create clear policies for internet use, devices, and remote access
9️⃣ Conduct regular pe*******on testing and remediate findings promptly

Your clients trust you with their pets and their personal information. Protecting both is part of providing quality care. 🛡️

Customer service representatives are often the first voice clients hear and the last person they speak to before heading home with their pet. They manage schedules, support emotional conversations, answer questions, and help keep hospitals running smoothly through every kind of day. 💙

In honor of veterinary CSRs everywhere, we asked reception teams what this role means to them, and their answers say it best.

Knowing when a pet needs emergency care can make all the difference.

Difficulty breathing, seizures, sudden weakness, eye injuries, bloating, and persistent vomiting or diarrhea are all signs that should never be ignored. Recognizing these emergencies early helps veterinary teams guide clients to timely care and can improve outcomes for pets in critical situations.

Share this resource with your clients and teams to help pet owners recognize when immediate veterinary attention is needed. 🐾

A diabetes diagnosis is often only part of the clinical picture in cats.

The 2026 AAHA Diabetes Management Guidelines for Cats recommend a comprehensive evaluation for every newly diagnosed diabetic cat — including laboratory testing, assessment for concurrent disease, and evaluation for complications that may affect treatment response.

Conditions like pancreatitis, hyperthyroidism, renal disease, obesity-related insulin resistance, and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can all influence stabilization and long-term management.

🐈 Could automated insulin delivery systems change the future of feline diabetes care?

A recent case report detailed an 11-year-old cat who achieved diabetic remission after using an automated insulin delivery (AID) system combining a continuous glucose monitor, wearable insulin pump, and smartphone app.

The cat has now remained in remission for more than two years.

While challenges remain, including cost, monitoring requirements, and device maintenance, experts believe these systems may eventually play a larger role in feline diabetes management.
