Description
Nobivac Lyme is the first USDA-licensed Lyme disease vaccine formulated to help prevent subclinical arthritis and other symptoms associated with Lyme borreliosis in dogs. This advanced vaccine targets two key outer surface proteins—OspA and OspC—crucial to the transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease. View official product details.
Key Benefits

- Induces high levels of borreliacidal antibodies that bind to OspA and OspC, forming a complex that kills Borrelia burgdorferi.1,2
- Clinically proven to help prevent Lyme-related symptoms such as joint inflammation and lameness.2
- Highly effective: Demonstrated absence of serologic evidence of exposure to Lyme-causing bacteria in vaccinated dogs.2
