I live in the country in California where there are plenty of rattlesnakes and I vaccinate my dogs regularly. I love the vaccine, and have heard one wonder story after another on how it helps save dogs that have been bitten by rattlesnakes.

All vaccines have their risks, and you should discuss the vaccine with your veterinarian first, but I think it is an amazing product and I am so happy it is available.

My neighbor’s dog was bitten by a rattler and fortunately was vaccinated with the Red Rock Biologics vaccine. The vet told them the vaccine probably saved the dog’s life.

That brings up a good point. Even if Rickey is vaccinated, if he is bitten by a rattlesnake, it is an emergency and he should receive veterinary care immediately.

Thanks! I've got part two of Myths and Misconceptions right here! This time I take a bite out of myths like what the dark spots on a dogs tongue means and why us dogs sometimes eat grass.
