Lyme disease

A number of years ago, I vaccinated a dog for Lyme. Had to give two doses a number of weeks apart since it was the first series. The next year, the vet said I should double vaccinate again with a "better" vaccine. Well, at the time, I said the heck with vaccinating as I wasn't sure they were having much success with the Lyme vaccines. Plus, I try to keep Frontline or its equivalent on my dogs to keep the ticks off them. They certainly pick up some ticks on occasion if I forget to re-apply right on time. I really haven't had a problem with lyme in my hounds, but I know it isn't uncommon. I guess my question is, how much success are you all having with the lyme vaccination these days? Has it proven itself to be effective? Thanks

I get all my dogs the shot. but still had one get it. so there you go.

My vet says they are about 85% I give my dogs the shots I had one get Lymes before I got shots, but haven't had one get Lymes since.

From what I understand its a regional deal. In another words if you live an area, where lymes isn't frequent, prevention is probably enough. But if you live in an area, like I do the North East, your best off getting the vaccination done.

Watch the movie 'Under your skin" It's on Amazon.
It changed the way I view lymes.

Tried vaccines, every dog that had shots got lyme disease, so I treat them twice a year.
