Almost had a heart attack!

[LunasMomma]

Just got back from the vet's for Izzy and Luna's annual checkup and shots. I refused the Corona and Lepto, and will take them back for the rabies next week so they didn't get too much at once. I just about DIED when checking out, the amount was $573.85 OMG!

Now my husband won't be getting his new truck tires this week. Or nexxt week They are bald too and I felt really bad, but they were so overdue for their shots and it was now or put it off once again

I'm so glad this is only once a year!

[nikkinack]

Wow that is a lot for shots

Holy Smokes!!!!!!!!!!! What did they all do? I sure hope you got them groomed and gold collars too. J/K.

I took Buddy two weeks ago and our bill was $298.00.
That was a well care check up that we get done yearly.
He got his rabies, lymes and the 6 in 1 which encludes the Lepto.
They also checked for heartworm and lymes and that test was
98.00 alone! $32.00 to check a fecal sample too it all adds up.
Thank heavens it's only once a year.
You had two pups so that hurt I'm sure.
Very expensive these days to go to the vet.

Wow thats higher than mine and I thought my annual visits were High. does your vet also do heartworm tests. My vet does and wellness bloodwork and the shots and its over $400 for my two

Have you ever tried to give the shots yourself? The vacination can be purchased from a feed store and is only 7.00 each ... . Even though I am a nurse and give injections it is easy for me but really anyone can do it .

Oh good heavens no! I'm too much of a wimp

That did include bloodwork, fecal flotation, and a thorough head to toe exam. The vet said that Izzy's knees are loose but that's a load of poop, now Luna, she's the one with the bad knees

They're both laying around right now, not much energy and they just look like they feel a little punky I'm SO glad I didn't let the vet give them the rabies too. He tried to talk me into the corona and lepto, but I said heck no.

Wow it is getting so expensive. I have 4 and try and space out their visits to 2 at a time. My vet now gives rabies and distemper every 3 years so that will help

Oh my goodness that is alot of money. Mine are due for their yearly check up in August but their last check up with shots last year for two was $185.00 and that included the heartworm test. My vet gives his patients multiple pet discount when I take them on the same day.

Ouch!

And to think, I almost blew a gasket when we had to fork over a little more than $200 for the same thing you did... but for 3 dogs.

[MyPeanutAbbyGra]

Oh My! I would have had a heart attack too!

Good Grief, I hope that included the rabies shot too. Did they also give you heartworm meds?

[kathrynS]

OMG Mine goes to Petco and it just 32.00 no matter how many shots he gets. They do worm tests. His last ones were 56.00 because i bought his heart worm pills for the next 6 months

[LittlePaws]

Wow! Our bill is 109.00 per dog for the rabies and 7 in 1, exam, fecal and HW test.
We have to do ours every year though

I don't need more vet bills. Our last puppies cost 1k at the vet.I have one due for yearly shots this week and Gracie is due to have puppies. I live at the vet sometimes.

Nope, the rabies shots will cost me another $30 total But that did include 6 months of Revolution for each of them, so I guess it's not awful, but OMG we're so broke now. They're worth every penny though
