Hi, I am in CT as well, I live in Trumbull and we just adopted our 1st dog Sheldon, he is a puppy mill rescue and got him ant 10 1/2 weeks.

Our vet is in Trumbull and I really love her! I belong to a Trumbull mom's group and out of about 25 recommendations 20 were for her. She doesn't recommend giving a puppy specially this small 2 shots at once. She said if he did ok with the 1st distemper DHPP she could do distemper and rabies together.

This is so far what we have spent

Jan, 30th
Puppy 1st check up to obtain health certificate required by the state.
$55

February 14th
$55 check up
$26 fecal
$27 DHPP #2

March 6th
$55 check up
$27 DHPP final puppy
$25 Rabies (1 year)

We also had to get deworming medicine, it was $7.

I am supposed to go back for the lyme vaccine, (2 shots 3 or 4 weeks apart) she won't charge a visit then. I was still on the fence about getting this shot after reading how bad puppies react but we live in tick city here and today while brushing Sheldon I found one on his back.

Good luck and I hope you find a good vet. Sounds like you are paying a lot. If you need my vet's info please let me know.
