how much would it cost (on average) to deworm and provide shots for a puppy?

Answer 1

Prices vary from vet to vet....and from animal to animal. It also depends on what you are going to take the puppy in for. If it is for a first visit...you could use this example:

"I would like to bring in my puppy for it's first visit. It's never been to a vet before. I would like to know how much it would be for an office call w/ exam, Distemper Vaccine ( puppies usually get a series of 3 - 4 booster shots), Rabies vaccines (if the puppy is 12 weeks or older), and Bordetella Vaccines (to protect from Kennel Cough). If the puppy is 6 months or older, they would need to be Heartworm tested also. Worming medications vary in price also, depending on what type of worms the puppy has and what course of treatment is needed.

Surgical procedures are harder to price. Surgeries prices are based on the weight of the animal, because different sized animals require different levels of anesthesia and medicines. You may want to ask if your vet offers consultations for surgical procedures. This would give you the opportunity to ask any questions you have about the procedure.

Most of the time, when you call into a veterinarian clinic, the receptionist or technician will ask you questions about your cat to get a better idea of its needs. That way, they would be able to give you a better idea of what it would cost to bring the puppy in.

Always remember though, when you call in for prices, that doesn't mean that's exactly what it's going to cost. Prices vary depending on if the cat were to need any medicines while it's there (in case it's found to have ear mites, etc.) and if you ask to have additional things done that you didn't request on the phone (i.e. nail trims, etc.).

Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

To do a worm test and shots (distemper series and rabies) is about $65 at a clinic more at the vet. Petco and petsmart run weekly clinics you need to take a feces sample with you for the worm test. If you need to worm your dog you can buy over the counter wormers, but you need to know for what kind of worm.

Answer 3

Probably in the range of 75 dollars for the examination, worming medication and shots.

if you have a petco near you it will be under 100.00 if you have a animal advocate clinic they charge 115.00 plus you get there rabies done to..and they take 30.00 to go towards have the dog fixed.good luck i hope you have one of these places near you .if not check with local pet stores..
