I have been around dogs all my life. I breed and raise chihuahuas. I was informed many,many years ago, from a very reputable old time show breeder--DO NOT GIVE THE LEPTO to any tiny toy dogs. This is the worse of all vaccines. Before-- I knew this info. I had one tiny female chi--dame near die from this LEPTO. Her face swelled then her air way---it was a mess. I rushed her to the vet --we saved this girl. My personal opion, I will never,ever give this to the tiny breeds again. I think --just keeping them on a high end diet and supplements. Giving all required vaccines but LEPTO, I think the risk is low. My input.... thanks
