Non-Core: Leptosporosis vaccine prevents a serious infection from bacteria found in water and soil. We include this vaccine as “core” if you are living in Greater Boston and your dog has frequent contact with still water and public parks. Administered in a single dose every year.

Non-Core: Lyme vaccine prevents the onset of a bacterial infection transmitted by the nymph and adult stages of a black legged tick. In the Northeast, tick-borne infections are common; however, the lyme vaccine is recommended on a case-by-case basis, depending on the pet’s lifestyle. Administered in a single dose every year.
