My 9-month kitten needs shots & spay. What's the estimated cost?

Hi and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Congrats on your newest addition. I would recommend calling around to veterinary clinics near you and find out how much an exam costs and associated vaccinations. Every veterinary clinic is different in pricing. Good luck!

Oh goodness, Kurama and the kitten are just adorable! At 3 months of age, it's the perfect time to give Kumara his second distemper/parvo combination vaccine. You may also consider bordetella (kennel cough), especially if he will be spending time around other dogs (grooming, boarding, dog park, etc) as well as leptospirosis, which has become more commonly seen in recent months in the northeast. At 16 weeks he'll get his final distemper/parvo booster, along with his rabies vaccination. You should also strongly consider a fecal test for parasites, as well as at least 2 deworming treatments. Your kitten will need 3 rounds of the feline distemper vaccine, starting at 8 weeks of age. Just like Kumara, she'll need rabies at 16 weeks. We are also recommending the feline leukemia vaccination for kittens, and also I recommend testing them for this disease as well as for feline AIDS. Dewormings for her as well as fecal tests are recommended. Here is a link to your closest Petco which has a Vetco clinic today, as well as on several upcoming days: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=11210 They can fill you in on all costs, but you can expect around $15 - $25 for each vaccination, depending on the type.

A veterinarian will likely be able to tell you how old she is. I am attaching prices for VetCo locations for vaccinations, so you have some ideas about pricing. https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/ And here is a link to the locations and schedules. https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/ Unfortunately, there are not very many organizations that will help with routine wellness care, so you may consider applying for CareCredit ( https://www.carecredit.com/ ) which often gives you a period of time without any payment or interest. I would also check with your local animal shelter or animal control. They will likely offer reduced prices for vaccination services and may also be able to help you get her spayed for a discounted price. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, this would be a good time to have her spayed. The cost of a spay varies greatly but the least expensive option typically is doing it at your local humane society which you may qualify for. At a regular clinic I would say is anywhere from $75-250. Good luck and have a great day!

These shots are likely FVRCP and possibly Feline Leukemia vaccine. Costs do vary based upon where you live and if you go to a vaccine clinic or not. Information including pricing can be found for the Vetco vaccine clinics offered by Petco at Petco.com. Otherwise I recommend to call around or look at the websites of your local clinics. Expect to pay an office visit. Most vaccines are priced between $25-35 per vaccine. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

The healthy kitten package: FVRCP Vaccine FeLv Vaccine** Round/HookDewormer* $59 Be aware that your kitten will need at least two rounds of shots to be protected. She will also need a rabies vaccine.

Simba is old enough to have his rabies vaccine now. He should also finish his other vaccines as well. Cost does vary depending on where you live and if you visit a vaccine clinic or a normal, in-room veterinary appointment. Here are the prices for the vetco vaccine clinic: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/ Neutering is not done by vaccine clinics. Low cost neuters may be available in your area or you may go to a regular clinic. There are differences in the techniques, sedation protocols and pre-op work up. General clinics will cost more for a neuter because they do a work up )to ensure kidneys are normal..etc) where as low cost clinics don't. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
