Normally, we are very diligent with applying the tick repellent to our dog. We use a liquid product that our vet recommended called "Vector", which is very similar to Frontline. With all of the snow and cold through March, we hadn't applied any, thinking there were no ticks around. The snow melted fast at end of March and we got caught.
We have used the Lyme vaccine for our dog since moving to CT several years ago, (a little factoid is that Lyme disease is named for Lyme, CT, since it is so prevalent down here), and she hasn't gotten it...not sure if it is the vaccine or just dumb luck.
