Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that can affect dogs. It’s transmitted by ticks, so if your dog is spending time in wooded areas or other places with lots of tall grasses and bushes, it’s important to keep an eye out for ticks.
If you suspect that your dog has Lyme disease, contact your veterinarian immediately. It’s important to treat the disease as soon as possible because early treatment can reduce the chances of complications later on.
