Snake Bite Vaccine - Dogs

Well, have three dogs in Texas. Lots of rattle snakes.
All three, 95 pound lab, 40 pound boarder collie and 15 pound wiener dog.
Had initial shots last year and booster this year. No negative effects on any of the dogs.
Luckily, they have not been bitten.
People ask me why do the wiener dog. Because she is a natural hunter and killer. Always looking for mice. I figure she is prob more likely to run into one than the bigger dogs.
I know several people from surrounding ranches, they all swear by them and have had dogs bitten several times.
It isn’t a cure, just minimizes the effect so you can get to the vet.

We gave the vaccine a couple of years ago, hunting buddies wife is a vet. She has changed her tune on the vaccine, said recent data shows it hurts the dog more than helps.
