Does anyone actually give their dogs this shot? I've been giving them to Embry and Zoey as it's high risk in the midwest, but actually found out that Embry hasn't been on it for the two years he has been

I took Zoey on Friday to get it for the first time, and then after he gave it to her, he told me to come in 21-28 days for the 2nd booster, WHAAAT... Embry has had this vaccination twice, and no one has EVER given him a second booster, obviously I was furiousss and the vet told me it was my fault for not being observant I was so annoyed that I had to give them another $40 to vaccinate him again!

never heard of it but lyme is not a big thing here in CO.

that would piss me off!

I've never gotten it for my dogs and don't ever intend to. I know that it may be a good idea if it/ticks are a problem in your area just to be on the safe side. I couldn't tell you if a booster was needed shortly after the first though since I've never had it done.

How would you have known about a booster when they vet didn't mention it needs to be boostered?!

Time for a new vet when he/she blames you for lack of observation. My response would have been, why the hell didn't you tell me he needed a booster.

I'm so glad you posted this! I *thought* Sabaka had been given this shot among all of his other puppy vaccines, so I called to make sure. Even though I thought I had asked for it, it seems he was not given first shot nor booster. Ticks are bad here, but I have been sure to stay on top of the flea and tick meds so he has only ever had one tick. However, that one tick could have caused an infection!

Thanks for the reminder! And, btw, my vet's receptionist was quick to inform me that I will need two appointments about 3 weeks apart...

ughh, i wish my vet wasn't so stupid! he's actually not stupid, i took Embry the first time to the low cost vaccination that they hold out out Petco, but the vets administering the shots are the same vets we see...I really don't get why they didn't tell me it was two parts until they vaccinated Zoey and I couldn't believe he blamed me! It's also really annoying that Zoey and Embry have different vets....I think I'm gonna call up the Holistic vet here..
