I called my vet and ask why they charge so much for their shots and they told me that they do a lot of other things beside just administer a shot. I said what things, free food samples, nail clips, we weigh them, free flea sample. When I checked with the cheaper vet they said we do a brief exam, weight, nail clip and shots. Needless to say I am not using that vet anymore for either of my dogs, so they didn't only lose the pups business but my other dog as well. They can keep their freebies...

It's safer and a better vaccine protection will result if puppy vaccs are given in 4 week intervals, as opposed to the 2 week schedule.
