Pet owners warning
Just thought I would "throw" this out there for you who would rather NOT read about "T****". :B Saturday, while camping between Soggy dry lake and the "Rock Pile" I take one of our dogs for a walk...

It's OK with me to post on the Pet Stop. We've had a few threads and many swear by the avoidance training.
I practice in an area where we don't get snake bites, so I've never seen one.
My understanding is that the vaccine does not eliminate the need for treatment after a bite, just makes the bite less likely to be fatal and recovery time less.
Glad your guys had the training and are OK.

You are right they will still need vet attention but the shots will save their lives. Even at our home in Wyoming we are at least 30 to 45 minutes away from the vet. When camping we may be even further away. The shots slow the venom and help the dog deal with it until they can get to a vet.
