Dogs get Lyme disease too. Here are some symptoms...


If you think your dog may have hurt his paw or leg – but you don’t see any wound – it could be Lyme disease... 

That’s usually the first thing you’ll notice about a dog who’s been infected. Typically, they will limp or favor a leg and tend to be less active and more irritable due to pain from inflammation of the joints. 

Lack of appetite is another symptom of Lyme disease in dogs and could be accompanied by vomiting or diarrhea. Young dogs are more susceptible to Lyme disease than older dogs – but all dogs who venture outdoors in the United States and much of Europe are at risk.
