Is my puppy's vaccination schedule and cost normal or too much?

A 10 week old puppy is old enough for the DAPP and Bordetella vaccine. The cost depends entirely on where you go. Exam fees vary from $25-$45 on average and shots around $10-$25 per shot. Call your local vet clinic in mind to get a more accurate estimated cost over the phone. : ) Best of luck with your new puppy Nala and I hope that her first vet visit goes well. Take care!

Thanks for the question. I'm glad you are planning to get Mickey vaccinated. The typical vaccination schedule is a combination vaccine called DAPP, which stands for Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus. This vaccine is usually given at 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age. A rabies vaccine is given 16 weeks of age. Other recommended vaccines vary depending on what part of the country Mickey is living. Prices vary widely from one city to another, so I can't tell you how much this will cost. I recommend calling a local clinic and asking how much it will cost to bring Mickey in for an exam and his first round of puppy vaccines. An examination is very important for puppies to check for any problems that need to be addressed. Congratulations on your new puppy and I hope you have fun with Mickey.

It looks like the DA2PLCPV is the distemper parvo vaccine. I'm not sure who sets the prices but that vaccine does contain 5 different diseases so I assume that has something to do with the cost but this vaccine is not extremely expensive. Flea and tick prevention have nothing to do with heartworm prevention or any diseases. Just like heartworm prevention has nothing to do with distemper parvo or fleas and ticks. Dogs require a lot of up keep if you want to do your best to keep them healthy and it is recommended that all dogs stay current on vaccinations. Depending on where you live, fleas, ticks and heartworms can be seasonal but it can also be year round. With the shifting of the human population and the pets they bring with them across the country, parasite prevalence is changing and becoming more of a problem (pets bring the diseases/parasites with them). Speaking with a local veterinarian is your best option to learn Midnight's risk factors and what prevention is needed and when. Also, if Midnight is not spayed, I recommend to get that done. You can avoid many serious (and costly) health conditions by having her spayed. 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: https://www.vetcoclinics.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.

Costs for vaccination vary from place to place, there may be a Humane Society clinic in your area that may offer lower prices. Yes, your dog can go to the vet to get her vaccinations even if she hasn't had any yet. Call around to some clinics and ask them what their puppy visits cost, often those will include some labwork, such as a fecal analysis to check for intestinal parasites. Let them know your concerns and if you have financial restrictions, they will work with you if you let them know up front what is going on. There are very few infections that can pass between humans and dogs, but ringworm and scabies are two that can be transmitted and both cause itchy skin and hair loss.

Hi, it is difficult to tell as it will change from one place to another. It is definitely a good idea as it will prevent your puppy to get some life threatening diseases. I would recommend that you pop into the vet without your dog or call them to find out what vaccinations/worming does your dog need and how much do they cost. Hope this helps !

You can get all of this done at a Vetco clinic, and I will put a link below to prices for vaccines. Nail trims are typically around $10-15, and you will have to get a quote from them for a bath. The vet can recommend a flea treatment for her. Please, please DO NOT give her vaccines from the feed store. There have been so many cases of dogs coming down with parvo and distemper who were vaccinated at home by their owners. This is because the feed store often stores the vaccines incorrectly and/or the owner gives the vaccine wrong. Bessie's health is too important to risk, so please get her vaccines done with the vet. Best of luck, I hope this helps! https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/

This could be normal depending on where you live and the cost of living in your area. I strongly recommend pet insurance. This can greatly reduce your cost. You will have to pay the money up front but they will reimburse you. Be sure to sign up for an insurance that pays for a percentage of your bill for reimbursement. I hope this helps!
