 vet bills
I was a vet's receptionist for awhile. The first visit is always expensive due to a full check up that you usually do want to have done... the following visits CAN be just for the vaccinations IF YOU REQUEST THAT when you make your appointment..."My pup is doing fine. I just need the next round of shots. I don't even need to see the vet." Be clear when you make the call and see if your vet will allow this in his office.
Yours may not, but it can save you hundrends of dollars if he has this practise. My vet administers the shots, but I do not take up his time with questions or idle 'chit-chat'. That way he doesn't lose money while he's with me and I don't pay an office visit. (The dog is taken to the back by a vet tech while I simply pay the vaccination fee. The dog is brought back to me and we are on our way.)
You can also purchase some of the usual vaccinations through the internet or at a feed store.
As a breeder, I give the 3 way or 5 way vaccinations myself... but there are a few only a vet can administer. For those, I still go to the clinic.
