Hmmm... according to the Revolution website, it only takes care of the American Dog Tick, which is not a lymes carrier. We had our first run-in with deer ticks last summer, and those are the ones we're concerned about.

I know there is a lymes vaccine available, but I've heard that it's had negative side-effects in herding dogs. Gracie is (we think) a collieX and Jaida's a GSD. Dr. Lee, do you know anything about this risk?
