I would quiz the vet about it. Ask if they have used it on dogs the size of yours and ask if anyone has had an adverse reaction. I'd want to know how many they themselves have actually used it on. Also ask if Lyme is prevalent in your area. Not all ticks carry Lyme not even all ticks on deer. We have a large dear population here because there is no hunting allowed but while we are in a high tick populated area Lyme is not prevalent. Most of the cases that have been reported locally were from people who had been infected in other states and then returned home. If your vet cannot answer your questions properly then I would consider waiting on it.
