Yeah, I never give Jackson Lepto after he had a reaction as a puppy. I think vets are wayyy over-vaccinating our dogs so I'm picky & choosy with what he gets and what I think is necessary. He doesn't even get bordatella. The new vet I saw yesterday didn't really suggest the Lymes shot, she just asked if he had had it. She's calling me on Thursday to check up and I will ask about it then. I'll probably end up not getting it. As long as I keep Jackson on K9 Advantix, he should be OK. He had sooo many ticks while on Frontline and I'm sure that's when/how he got infected. On a positive note, I'm glad I found a vet that I like better and am switching to.
