Canine Leishmaniosis in Europe

The above is a map of where Leishmania is prevalent. If you are taking your pet to any of these “hotspots” you should seriously consider leishmania vaccination and sandfly control.

CaniLeish®

How to use the vaccine

• Use of a rapid serological diagnostic test is recommended prior to vaccination in animals who have previously been at risk of exposure to the Leishmania parasite.
• If this test is negative, you can start the vaccination course.
• Primary vaccination course: three subcutaneous doses.
  • First dose can be administered from six months of age.
  • Second and third doses are administered at three-week intervals.
  • Then, only one re-vaccination per year is necessary.

Practical tips:

• Bring the vaccine close to body temperature by warming it in the hand.
• Massage the injection site lightly after administration.
• Separate the time of vaccination with CaniLeish® from all other vaccines by at least two weeks.
