I asked my vet about getting the vaccine for my dog. He will be having to stay at a kennel for 2 days in June. Also, we go to the Lake to walk and meet other dogs. She said she would not recommend the vaccine for Gizmo because he is a healthy dog. If he had immune issues, she would. She is not vaccinating her own dogs and her assistants are not either. The vaccine is two shots at $42 each. I was glad not to put ,y doggy thru something he doesn’t need.
The vaccine is about 6 bucks.
The office call is 10-14 bucks
The biohazard fee is 5-7 bucks
The injection fee per shot is 15-20 bucks.
For convenience, and a good chance the vaccine was well stored and handled, the vet is ok.
if cost is a concern, can usually get any vaccine except rabies from other sources.
