Summer is upon us and Rattlesnakes are becoming very active. We've seen 3 bites already this year. Treatment of rattlesnake bite is difficult and frequently unrewarding. A vaccine is now available to help pets defend themselves against rattlesnake bites. While the vaccine does not guarantee survival of a bitten pet, it will greatly enhance the chances of survival. If you take your dogs hiking in the hills, or you live in the hills where rattlesnakes are present, I strongly encourage you to have your pets immunized.
