If not known about already, figured that some of you guys and gals might have interest in some of this ...

We are in the process of adopting "Lola", about a 1 to 2 year old German Shorthair Pointer. The lady I'm getting her from, when told about recent rattlesnake encounter while scouting new lease near Archer City, told me about this stuff. Gonna discuss it with vet shortly ...

Looks like it is not effective against water mocs. No specific mention of copperheads, which are most common around our place north of DFW.

Anyone out there had your dog vaccinated with this stuff yet?
