Yes. Talk to a Veterinarian about giving the Lyme disease vaccine to your dog as a preventive measure, there are some who believe it may be effective and others who do not. It is not necessary except in certain areas of the US, so speak to a Vet about its use.
Symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs include: # High fever # Swollen lymph nodes # Lameness # Loss of appetite # Inflamed joints # Lethargy Dogs get Lyme disease from very small deer ticks that carry the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease. Preventive tick repellents and systemic medicines that provide protection against ticks should be used for dogs in areas where these ticks carrying the bacteria are found such as dogs along the Atlantic coast, those in New England states, in Oregon and California, and some Midwestern states. Treatment for infected dogs is usually antibiotics or antimicrobial agents.

∙ 14y agoNo, dogs do not transmit Lyme disease. This disease is transmitted by tics. However the tics may fasten to the dogs skin.
Tics are often found in long grass and attach to their host as they brush past the tic. That host can be animal of human.
