I agree with the others. It is a personal decision you have to make. None of mine get vaccinated for it. It would be different if lepto wasn't so well known for bad reactions in small dogs and if covered more strains of lepto than it actually does. So just getting the vaccine may not prevent your dog from getting it.
I do want to add though, if you decide to get it, get it done separately from their regular dhpp shot or rabies shot. It will cost more this way but at least you aren't overwhelming their system with some many vaccines in one sitting. And I would have the vet pre-medicate as well before giving the vaccine to prevent a reaction. |
