It depends on where you go. Different vets have different prices. Places like Petco and Pet Smart usually offer cheaper shots than the vet. There are also shelters that offer cheaper shots.

Same as it would cost for any other dog. Really, pick up the phone and call the vet's office that you are going to use. The pup should have already gotten her first set of shots, check-up and deworming. Puppies get a series of 4 sets of shots from about 6 weeks to 16 weeks, and they also get dewormed and a physical exam. I know my clinic does a package where you pay about $45 per visit for the puppy package. Your dog SHOULD have had it's first set by now and should only need 3 more, and at the last visit you should make arrangements for spaying her within the next couple months. Also, when you get a new puppy, the breeder should give you a guarantee on it's health and you bring it to your vet within a few days to have it checked out. Also, for a toy breed, you shouldn't have gotten it until it was 10-12 weeks old...toy breeds should stay with their mother and siblings a little longer than larger breeds.

It depends on the vet and the area of the country that you live in.A puppy needs at least three sets of shots,spaced 4 weeks apart,and then a rabies shot at three months.Altogether,it can cost from 100.00 ( for all the shots) to 300.00 or more.Call and ask around to see which vet is the most reasonable,and try to establish yourself with a vet who will let you make payments in case of emergency or a very large bill.

The breeder should have had the first set of shots done before you got the puppy and the pup should have been dewormed several times before you got her. Our vet charges about $50 for shots, office visit and worming, but in some parts of the country the vets charge much more. It depends on where you live. Congrats on your new baby!

Vets charge differently in different parts of the country.
Before getting that shot, do some reading on vaccinations.

My guess would be $60-$210 each time they visit the vet office. That is just a guess. Call and ask the office how much they charge for shots.

call around to vets and ask. i understand bainfield in petsmart waives their place of work bypass to and you in straight forward terms pay for the pictures...yet they're extra high priced then maximum vets. for my area I in straight forward terms think of your domestic dog will choose a million set of imagery and yet i'm no expert. i began a question on right here approximately this so verify it out as i think at 5 months there is not any risk of the mothers immunity interfering with the 1st shot yet like I mentioned i'm no expert. the 1st vet I used had to do lots to my domestic dog and it grew to become into like 2 hundred and something. I went to the vet my mom makes use of and have been given what my domestic dog necessary (some viruses/ailments do not even exist in my state the 1st vet had to vaccinate for) and have been given it performed for a million/2 the fee. i might communicate to vets and attempt to discover some that isn't income on you. i might have it checked for worms however additionally.

They can get pricey, check vet's fee to see the doctor too...those vary as well. I live in Charlotte, NC and we can get discounted shots and get him fixed for free. I think that it is the humane society, or some city wide foundation that provides these things. Search around. Glad that you are taking good care of your new puppy!

she hasn't had them? for the fortune you paid for a purebred I would guess they have been done already.
Call a vet and find out if she had not! You are obviously unprepared for parenthood and should have went to the mall instead.
