My vet gives the amount of vaccine in accordance with her weight, sometimes making it necessary to split into two shots. I would rather give the shot and be safe than take a chance with her life. I just lost one little yorkie after 10 years of love and devotion. It was from a fast growing cancer, but we did give her shots when needed.
I agree we all are concerned with costs now and some vets do take advantage but I love this little dog and there are too many dogs running around that never get shots and we don't know what they carry. Someone brought up a good point when I told that my baby is a house pet and is not exposed to other dogs. They told me we carry things into the house on our feet from walking where dogs have walked even if our pet doesn't . Like the old saying, Better Safe than Sorry.
PS. Check other vets and ask the price of certain shots and the office call.
