I chose not to do the Lyme Vaccine. I don't think it has a high enough effective rate and it is a vaccine that has a high reactive rate to it. We have A LOT of ticks here so I chose to use Advantix on Ozzy as a preventive. He is under 4 lbs so I only use half of the tube. I know some dogs don't react well to the topical oils but so far he has done really well. The deer bring the ticks into our yard so we really can't treat for them. I'm not sure about the whole flea question perhaps some one else can help out there.If you search I think there is a thread about more natural remedies too. Good luck!
