Dog vaccine costs vary depending on the type of vaccine, location, and veterinary clinic, but here is a general overview based on 2025 data:
- Core vaccines like DAPP/DHPP (distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus, parainfluenza) typically cost between $20 and $60 per dose.
- Rabies vaccination usually costs $15 to $35 per shot.
- Leptospirosis vaccine ranges from $20 to $40 per dose.
- Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine costs about $20 to $50 annually.
- Canine influenza vaccine is around $25 to $65 per dose.
- Lyme disease vaccine costs about $20 to $40 per dose.
For a puppy’s first year, the total vaccination cost can range from approximately $100 to $500, as multiple vaccines and booster shots are required. After the first year, annual booster vaccinations typically cost less, averaging around $20 to $70 per vaccine depending on the clinic and region. Some clinics offer vaccination packages that bundle multiple vaccines at a discounted rate, for example, a complete annual package including Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, and Leptospirosis can cost around $59 to $85. Low-cost clinics and shelters may offer vaccines at reduced prices compared to private veterinary practices. Additionally, veterinary examination fees may add to the total cost during vaccination visits. In summary, budgeting around $100 to $300 for the initial vaccination series and $50 to $100 annually for boosters is typical for dog vaccinations in 2025
