Hello MyShoti, thankyou for your question.

Lyme disease is something you and the dog need to be very aware of and protected from. Both humans and dogs can get Lyme disease .

This website has a very good video and article to fully explain how this happens and how to have your dog protected from it.(there is an approved vaccine for this and there are flea and tick medications you can buy at your local feed store,online or through your vet if you prefer for the dog.
