How much $$ does it cost?? For a puppy's shots the 1st year? Anyone have a ballpark figure? |
Well we just had our rabies and it was 15.00. Has the puppy had any shot at all yet. Id say ballpark less that 50.00. |
Expect to spend a few hundred if you go to a vet There are lot of Low cost places that do shot's since i have 3 we go to petland to get our shot's it was $50 per dog for all the shot's |
I just went, it was $45 for vet visit, $14 for distemper and $14 for bordetella, $15 for squeezing anal glands and $21 for worming. I rounded up on the shots, all together my visit was $113. I go back in 3 weeks for round 2 of shots including rabies, I'm expecting to pay around $50 because I don't think I have to have the vet exam again, just the shots. hmm I better call and make sure. :) P.S. I also need to get flea stuff which runs about $15 month and then it's another $38 for the microchipping. $175 for the neuter and another $45 for the bloodwork. |
Wow I think 50.00 is still pretty high for low cost shots. I must just have a great vet (I think so anyway lol). I guess it just depends on where you live. |

Probably. The pricing between the vet and the low cost vet in my area was pretty much the same price, give or take a few pennies. I opted for the accredited vets office being I'd be charged the same anyway. :) Go figure. |

I have to say that with all the shots, visits, microchiping, registration, etc... My first year of vet bills amounted to a pretty penny...at least $ 500 |

Funny this should come up now... I took my 3 dogs to the Vet on Saturday and was SHOCKED when I got the bill ...$512.00... I have been in shock all weekend. How is this possible !!! This is the last time I am taking them altogether. |

i spent about 250 for pebbles shots & visits. she just got finished with them about 2 weeks ago... man thats expensive compared to what everyone else is saying, but the vet saw my puppy every time and examined her to make sure she was growing properly and to see if anything was wrong, and gave the shots herself. I also had her do all the tests to make sure she was healthy and didnt have liver shunt or anything else genetically wrong, and she got a deworming one time |

Ask your vet about a puppy package. When I got Cali, I got the puppy package and it was $250 for ALL her puppy shots/dewormings/vet visits. I also got 6 months heartworm medicine and 3 months of flea preventative. Also included was a discounted rate of microchipping. |

vaccines I go to banfield at petsmart. It is $27 a month and all well visits are included including spay/neutering. Fender has had to go every three weeks and it is all included |
If your puppy is 12 weeks old when you get him/her...they should've already had de-worming and 2 sets of shots. At 14 weeks there's another booster set and at 16 weeks (I think that's the correct age)...a rabies shot. Some vets will give the rabies with the other vaccinations. Mine advises not to with these little guys. Those visits cost me $55 to $65 each which includes an office visit fee. I prefer to go to my vet's office so they have an established knowledge of my pets and we can also discuss any concerns I might have. Neutering at 6 months runs $225. This includes a full blood panel workup. I failed to mention should your breeder offer a health guarantee...many of those stipulate you must take your new baby in for a wellness visit within a certain amount of time. Here that would include testing a fecal sample...and again the visit would be around 50 bucks... Heart worm preventative and flea protection are other expenses added to any vaccinations I agree where you live definitely determines the vet fees. |
This is a great article that estimates the cost of owning of dog: The Cost of Owning a Dog I find most toy dog owners feel this is a very conservative estimate. |
