Recently, pests that carry various infections have become more common in the city. To bring home a "lodger" it is not necessary to go to the forest. However, injections can protect against such ailments, as the advertisement of funds claims. The vaccination for dogs from ticks from veterinarians has both positive reviews and negative.
Tick vaccine: what is the point
More and more often, with a walk in the park, pets on the way home start to itch, with a more thorough examination, most find mite. Recently, these parasites have attacked warm-blooded animals not only in the forest or in some thickets of shrubs, the distribution area has expanded dramatically. It will not work to protect the dog from the tick itself; in nature there is no such vaccine. There are vaccinations for dogs that will facilitate the course of diseases carried by these "tenants".
The tick vaccine was recently introduced; veterinarians have different attitudes to this innovation. Vaccination of dogs has its pros and cons.
Important!
Vaccination against a tick bite does not exist; parasites will attack the animal even after injections.
You can choose a different vaccine, most often the dog is vaccinated against:
They can lead to the death of a dog without proper treatment.
Contraindications
Not every dog is vaccinated, for some, the introduction of tick drugs is strictly contraindicated. To maintain health, you can not vaccinate:
- a pregnant dog;
- only an infested individual;
- puppies up to 5 months;
- sick and weak dogs;
- pets who have just had an infectious disease.
On a note!
Instead of getting vaccinated, treating a pregnant dog against ticks is better folk remedies.
Name of injections: drugs
Tick injections for dogs are carried out by various means for vaccination, each of which will protect against certain ailments. There is no universal, and the vaccine will save the dog from illness for only a few months. Most often carried out tick-borne encephalitis vaccine.
Recognized sales leaders are:
- Pie pie is a vaccine based on red blood cells of dogs that are disinfected with radiation. The main substance of the drug is infected with pyroplasmosis in a small amount, the dose administered is easily overdone by the dog’s healthy body. Persistent immunity to the disease is not produced, but the vaccinated body tolerates it more easily. The vaccination does not belong to cheap ones, for one dose the dog breeder will have to pay from 2000 to 2500 rubles.
- Nobivak Piro has approximately the same composition, only the concentration of harmful microbes is slightly higher than that of the above vaccination. The cost of funds for dogs ranges from 1,700 to 2,300 rubles per dose. How much the vaccine costs depends on the pricing policy of the pharmacy.
An important point when buying a drug is the study of side effects and contraindications. In both vaccines, they are identical:
- the walls of the vessels relax, their permeability increases;
- red blood cells begin to stick together, which provokes thrombosis in the dog;
- the formation of immune complexes.
The main side effect recognized by veterinarians is the asymptomatic course of the disease, from which they were vaccinated. This makes it impossible to start treatment on time, dog owners seek help in complex, neglected cases.
Important!
It is necessary to be vaccinated annually, a couple of months before the beginning of the active movement of parasites.
Reviews
Tick vaccination is not mandatory; it is carried out at the request of the owner of the dog in clinics or veterinarians. The dog breeder buys funds for vaccination on the spot or at the veterinary pharmacy in advance. It is first necessary to take a blood test, if the dog is already sick, then vaccination is contraindicated. There are different reviews of veterinarians and dog breeders regarding drugs, someone carries out such vaccination every year, but someone couldn’t help.
When contacting the clinic, I often recommend vaccinating the dog, especially hunting breeds. The drug will not save from a parasite bite, but the disease will proceed less aggressively and without a fatal outcome.

I recommend tick prevention using other methods. Treat the dog from ticks can sprays, drops at the withers. I have a negative attitude to vaccination, since he himself has lost a loyal friend, the drug only reduced the external signs of the course of the disease.

I vaccinate dogs every year, as I am a breeder of hunting dogs. I mainly use the drug Pirodog, which I am very pleased with.

This year, for the first time, I decided to instill my dog. We often walk in the park and ixodid ticks after the promenade, I find her regularly. Nobivak Piro advised us at the veterinary pharmacy, I was pleased with the result.

The appearance of drugs for pyroplasmosis has not yet greatly reduced the number of diseases that arose. The reason for this is a very small percentage of people who want vaccination behavior.
