Staphylococcal vaccines are a good therapeutic alternative to the classic antibacterial treatments in dogs with chronic recurrent pyoderma without detectable underlying diseases. At the beginning of this therapy, the vaccine should be combined with other antimicrobial treatments for several weeks. Treatment success should be judged after 10, or better, 18 weeks. Differences in the production processes of the vaccine will influence the adverse effects and the success rate.
