Rabies/ Heartworm or Lymes - Page 1

Are dogs in Europe vaccinated for rabies? Tested for Heartworm? Are there mosquitoes in Europe? Tested for Lymes Disease? Any ticks from deer? Just curious! Dawn

Dogs have to be vaccinated against Rabies every year. There is no heartworm in Germany, at this time. Not sure about other areas of Europe There are mosquitos in Europe. Not sure if West Nile has been an issue yet. There is tick borne Lymes Disease in Europe.

Rabies certainly every year and if you are travelling to France it is advisable to have a vaccin for heartworm since quite a few dogs have been affected by it after their visit to France. Lyme disease cause by teek is indeed here in Europe,during hot seasons before my dogs starts venturing outdoors I personally use Frontline which is absorbed by the skin of the dogs and last about 3 months, quite effective I must say. Mosquitos luckily not, hate those little buggers and I am glad the dogs are spared of those blood suckers and the diseases they could be carrying.
