What's the cost of puppy shots and a new dog's first vet visit?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The cost for a vaccine varies depending on each individual veterinary practice. I would recommend reaching out to various clinics in your area if you have specific pricing questions!

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!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Adopting a pet is a great option and certainly helps those pets in need of a home so thank you for looking into adopting! Some shelters will have an affiliation program with nearby veterinary clinics where the clinic will provide you with a free examination to establish yourself there. I would ask the shelters if they have such a program. When going to the veterinarian, I would ensure that you are looking at preventative care (heartworm and flea / tick prevention). The shelter should have most vaccinations up to date but if it is a puppy, you may have to repeat several vaccination rounds. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. A typical check up at a local veterinarian is often in the range of $50-80 for an exam. Bloodwork and vaccines will be an additional cost. The prices vary based on location, and some larger company places such as Banfield or VCA may offer lower prices or even payment plans. I recommend contacting some of the veterinary hospitals in your area to ask around about approximate costs. I hope this is helpful! Glad to hear Punki is still doing so well at 12 years old :)

It is definitely preferable to have records from a previous vet, especially if there are any ongoing medical conditions. Most vaccines are given once per year, so proof isn’t necessary unless it has been less than a year. Exams and vaccines vary in cost depending on your area. In my practice in New York City, they typically end up being about $100 for an exam and two vaccines. I hope this helps!

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. For a new puppy visit a vet will do a physical exam looking for any congenital abnormalities (heart murmurs, cleft palate, etc.). They will also look at body condition and if the abdomen seems bloated. At 6-8 weeks of age they will start the vaccine process. Your vet will also talk to you about deworming and diet. For a 3 year old dog the visit is similar, a physical exam and questions about history to make sure nothing is going wrong, as well as vaccines and deworming that is required. You should also discuss with your vet about desexing both April and your puppy. Around the age of 5 your vet might start talking to you about bloodwork to look for underlying disease. Best of luck with April and your new puppy.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I’m assuming you are referring to VetCo which is part of PetCoach. Below are links to the prices list and locations. If there is aVetVo in your area I’d call to see if it is walk in or by appointment.
