For Pets' Sake: Work with your vet for individualized Lyme protection for your dog
"Lyme remains one of the more confusing and controversial infectious diseases in dogs, as it is in people. Ongoing research has increased our understanding of this disease significantly over the past few years, but much remains unknown. To add to the confusion, the bacteria can be difficult to find in blood samples, the symptoms of illness can be vague or delayed, and a positive test does not always mean that Borrelia is causing a problem. The current controversies hinge on whether positive tests mean active infection, whether asymptomatic individuals should be treated and what role vaccination should play in dogs."
