Plain-English summary
Lyme disease, also known as Borreliosis, is a non-core dog vaccine topic connected to tick exposure.
What it is
Lyme disease (Borreliosis) is a non-core dog vaccine topic. Because ticks may transmit Lyme disease, it is useful to discuss this vaccine alongside tick prevention, travel, lifestyle, and exposure risk.
Why it matters
Dogs that may be exposed to ticks can prompt questions about tick checks, parasite prevention, and whether Lyme vaccination should be discussed with a veterinarian.
How mobile veterinary care helps
During a mobile appointment, Dr. Sergey can review your pet's vaccine history, age, lifestyle, and exposure risks, then discuss which core or non-core vaccines may be appropriate for your dog or cat.
When to ask about it
Ask about Lyme disease or Borreliosis when your dog has tick exposure, spends time in grassy or wooded areas, or when you are reviewing parasite and vaccine plans together.
