Vaccinations

[AmandaE9]

Anyone know of a reasonable price vet for puppy vaccination? I am on disability benefits and finding my puppy very expensive!

If you are on benefits then you might be able to access a charity such as PDSA. If you aren’t eligible or there aren’t any such charities in your area then most vets will publish their primary vaccination course prices on their website, so you can shop around your local practices.

I would recommend planning how you will provide for your puppy’s future medical needs e.g. registering with a charity vet practice, looking into insurance. The vaccinations are actually a fairly minor expense in the grand scheme of things you may have to pay for in your dog’s lifetime, and illnesses/accidents can come at inconvenient times so it is the responsible thing to do to be prepared for these costs.

Kindly, dogs are expensive. Do you have insurance and/or plans for medical expenses? Was the puppy unexpected or did you just not research expenses before getting it?

Dogs are very expensive, what's your long term plan for affording everything? How long have you had the dog?

We've had ours for 6 weeks and already there's been:
Insurance
Getting set up with a monthly plan at the vet
Flea and worm treatment
Groomers
Booking secure dog parks as that's the only place he can safely run off lead
The food
Medicine to help him when he was terrified of fireworks
The one off purchases when getting set up e.g. bed, collar etc

It's a lot.

I rrscued my puppy rehomed the rrst and kept onr.
He is 16 eeeks now and the vet refused to vaccinate him ad he has mild puppy pyodema
