How Much Does It Cost To Get A Dog Shots

Introduction

Getting a dog is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Many people are surprised, though, by how much it costs to adopt and maintain a healthy pup. It’s true that adoption fees may seem expensive, but you should consider them an investment: What’s better than welcoming a fur baby into your family? Plus, there are ways you can save money and still make sure your new best friend gets all of their necessary shots.

Puppy Shots

Puppy shots are important for your pet’s health. They protect your puppy from diseases that can be very serious or even fatal, and they help him grow up healthy.

It is a good investment in your pet’s health to give him puppy shots as soon as possible after he’s born. The vaccine will last for several years, so he’ll be protected against disease throughout his entire life! The sooner you get your puppy vaccinated, the less chance there will be of him contracting any of the viruses out there that spread from other unvaccinated dogs.

Plus, having an unvaccinated dog around children can be dangerous because they’re not immune to diseases like parvo or distemper and may not know how to behave properly around sick animals who might try to bite them! This can be dangerous both physically (for example if rabies gets transmitted) as well as emotionally since being around sick dogs usually means stress at home which makes everyone feel bad too 🙁

Spay and Neuter

Spaying and neutering is important for many reasons. One of the most significant benefits is that it can reduce aggression, which can make it easier to manage your dog in new situations. Male dogs tend to roam more than females, so they’re more likely to get into trouble outside the home and get into fights with other dogs. Spaying female dogs eliminates their natural desire to mate with male dogs while under anesthesia during spay surgery, as well as any risk of developing breast cancer later in life.

Spaying or neutering your pet may also reduce his or her risk of contracting certain types of infections such as urinary tract infections (UTIs). UTIs aren’t common among cats but do occur occasionally; when they do occur, they are usually caused by a bacterial infection rather than an STD (sexually transmitted disease).

Rabies Vaccination

Rabies is a virus that can be transmitted to humans and other animals. It’s most commonly found in bats, but the virus can also infect dogs, cats, raccoons and foxes.

If you get bit by an animal with rabies, the vaccine will prevent your body from becoming infected by the virus. The vaccine works by injecting it into your bloodstream where it travels throughout your body to create an immunity against rabies.

Rabies Is Fatal If Not Treated

If you’re bitten by an animal that may have rabies, you must get medical treatment right away for two reasons: First of all, if you don’t treat yourself immediately after being bitten by such an animal then there’s a chance that you could end up dying from rabies. And second of all because even though there have been only three cases reported since 1990 where someone died from getting their shots late (after having been bitten), treatment still needs to begin within 10 days of getting infected with this deadly disease so as soon as possible after being potentially exposed (which usually means going into hospital right away).

Kennel Cough Vaccination

The Kennel Cough vaccination is a series of two to four shots given over several weeks. The first shot is usually administered at the age of 6 to 8 weeks, with an additional booster one month later. A second booster should be given at 12 or 16 weeks, and then again every year until your dog reaches adulthood (the last booster will be administered when your pet reaches 16 months of age).

Your vet may also recommend that you get your puppy vaccinated against kennel cough if he goes to daycare, boarding facilities or has contact with other dogs outside regularly.

Flea, Tick and Heartworm Prevention

When you adopt a dog from us, medical treatment and examination are included. Flea and tick prevention is offered with each vaccination; heartworm prevention can be added at the time of your pet’s initial exam. Flea, tick and heartworm preventatives can all be given together.

Bordetella Vaccination

Bordetella vaccination is a highly important, yet often misunderstood and misinterpreted, portion of your dog’s shot schedule. Bordetella is a highly contagious respiratory infection that causes a hacking cough in dogs. While symptoms can be mild and pass within days or weeks, they can also be severe and life-threatening if left untreated.

Symptoms of bordetella include:

A hacking or “barking” cough (similar to kennel cough)
Discharge from the eyes and nose
Loss of appetite

Heartworm Testing

Heart worm testing is important for any dog that spends time outdoors. Heartworm, or Dirofilaria immitis, is a serious disease that affects both dogs and cats. If you are going to have your dog tested for heartworm, make sure you know all the facts about this condition before making any decisions about treatment options.

Leptospirosis Vaccination

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can be spread through the urine of infected animals. Symptoms include fever, muscle pain and headaches, but it can also cause kidney failure.

To prevent Leptospirosis:

Wear shoes in muddy areas and wash your hands after touching wet soil or standing water. This can stop you from getting cuts on your feet or hands that could allow bacteria to enter you body through an open wound.
Make sure that your dog gets its annual shots at the vet’s office so they will be protected from this disease as well!

Puppy shots are one of the most important things you can get for your pet

It’s important to vaccinate your pet. Vaccines save lives and will keep you and your dog healthy. As a pet owner, here are some things that you should know about vaccinations:

Vaccines can protect your pet from illness. Vaccines help prevent diseases in dogs by exposing them to certain viruses or bacteria while they are young and the immune system hasn’t been exposed yet. This helps create an immunity that lasts for years after vaccination instead of just a few days after being infected with an illness.
Vaccines are necessary for human health as well as dog health because many diseases can be transmitted between animals and humans through contact with bodily fluids like saliva or urine; therefore, vaccines can also help protect people from getting sick from these viruses too!
Some illnesses have no known cure but can be prevented by vaccines such as rabies which is fatal if not treated immediately after exposure.”
