I considered getting the Lyme vaccine but decided against it. We live in a wooded area and have deer all over the place but the majority of ticks are regular dog ticks that our cats pick up.
Decided to read as much as I could on the Lyme vaccine for dogs before I decided. There were a lot of adverse reactions. Since Gracie is so small and Lyme is very treatable I decided it was best to avoid more vaccines.
I run a flea comb through her and the cats whenever we come in from outside to make sure there are no ticks that they may have picked up.
Your have a puppy so you should be able to control the tick situation pretty easily. Maybe wait until the pup has matured to do it? |
