I believe (besides standing water) that it is transferred by rodent urine
yes i think you are right on the rodent urine as that sounds like what i have heard too

yeah i agree with C on this as some areas have bad lepto issues but it does not cover all strains so i personally would not do it in my dogs but you have to discuss it with your vet and maybe a few vets in area as some say we need it here and some say we do not need it here. I choose not to do it

Is there a website showing areas at high risk for lepto like there is for heartworm?
