Puppy vaccination costs vary depending on location, clinic, and the specific vaccines administered. Here is an overview of typical costs:
- In the UK, the average cost for puppy vaccinations is around £70, which may include additional treatments like worming or flea control
- In the US, the core puppy vaccines (such as DHPP covering distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus, and parainfluenza) typically cost between $20 and $60 per dose, with rabies vaccines costing about $15 to $30 per dose
. The full initial series over the first few months can total around $75 to $100 or more
- Some clinics offer vaccination packages for puppies starting at about $45 to $70, which may bundle core vaccines with deworming and heartworm prevention
- Non-core vaccines like leptospirosis, Lyme disease, and Bordetella can add $20 to $50 per dose depending on the vaccine
- Overall, the first set of puppy vaccinations (usually 3 doses over several weeks) can cost between $180 and $250 in some vet practices in Australia and the US
- Low-cost clinics or animal shelters may offer vaccines at reduced prices, sometimes as low as $20 or free for rabies shots
In summary, expect to pay roughly $70 to $250 for the initial puppy vaccination series, depending on your location and the vaccines included. Additional optional vaccines and treatments will increase the cost. Many vets also offer vaccination plans or packages to reduce upfront costs
