The Lyme vaccine may be a great way to protect your dog.
The Lyme vaccine is recommended for all dogs living in or traveling to areas where Lyme disease is common.
The Lyme vaccine together with year-round parasite preventives is the best possible protection against Lyme disease.
If you live in an area where Lyme disease is rare, regular parasite preventives are plenty to protect your pet.
A Lyme vaccine may be a good idea, just in case.
Speak to your veterinarian.
They know your hometown risk better than anyone else, and they can help you weigh that along with all the other important factors.
Give your pet the best possible protection from ticks with veterinarian-approved flea and tick preventives.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new shot that protects dogs six months or older against fleas and ticks.
Bravecto Quantum is an injectable medication for dogs six months or older that can protect against fleas and ticks for eight to 12 months.
The drug uses a unique type of fluralaner that can maintain effectiveness for up to a year, according to Merck Animal Health.
Merck Animal Health's Bravecto Quantum is officially the first FDA approved drug that protects dogs from fleas and ticks for eight months to a year, the agency announced on Thursday, July 10.
The FDA urges dog owners to ask a veterinarian if Bravecto Quantum is a safe and effective option for their dogs.
Bravecto Quantum contains the ingredient fluralaner, which falls under the antiparasitic drug class known as isoxazolines.
The FDA states that while isoxazolines have proven to treat and control fleas and certain ticks in pets, their effectively typically lasts for one month.
Bravecto Quantum is expected to be available at veterinary clinics and hospitals across the U.S. as soon as August 2025, Merck Animal Health announced.

Vaccinating Your Pet The first way Lyme disease can be prevented is by vaccinating your animal. This vaccination is done initially with one injection followed by a booster vaccine in 3-4 weeks. After that, an injection is given every year to protect your animal. However, it only protects against Lyme disease, not any other tick-borne diseases. The second prevention method is to protect your pet against ticks altogether. Regular Testing for Lyme Disease Not only is prevention important, but regular testing for Lyme disease is also important. If you have any questions about Lyme disease, call us at Bedford South PetFocus and we will make an appointment with you to talk about the best option for Lyme prevention in your pet.

Except for Lyme disease in dogs, pets cannot be vaccinated against tickborne diseases.
Talk to your veterinarian about tickborne diseases that occur in your local area, or if you are considering a Lyme disease vaccine for your dog.
Vaccines are not available for most of the tickborne diseases that dogs can get, and they don't keep the dogs from bringing ticks into your home.
Dogs can also be infested by the brown dog tick, which occurs across the United States and is unique in that it can infest indoor spaces like homes and kennels.
Dogs are very susceptible to tick bites and tickborne diseases.

There is no mention of a tick prevention vaccine for dogs.
Several products containing isoxazolines are approved for the treatment and control of fleas and certain ticks in dogs and cats.
These products generally protect against fleas and ticks for 1 month.
This is the first FDA-approved drug that protects dogs against fleas and ticks for 8 to 12 months.
Although isoxazoline products are commonly used and safe for most dogs and cats, the products have been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including muscle tremors, ataxia, and seizures in some dogs and cats.
