Pet Vacinnations

    My vet charges £32 for dog vaccinations and I think a little more for cats as they have an extra vaccination.

    The prices can vary largely, my vets it's about £18 for the booster I think, do know someone who pays £35. Kennel cough vaccinne is £16 at mine, £24 at another one nearby. I would ask your own vet then add a few ££ on incase prices increase.

    Also need to budget for worming, flea treatments etc

    http://www.animalmedicines.co.uk/help.php?section=FAQ I use this or other online sites when buying items which do not have to be given by a vet, like wormers etc
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    My vet is expensive at about £50 for the booster (which includes a health check). Don't forget the initial vaccination is more expensive.

    Call your vet, they should be able to tell you over the phone

    Yep, allocated for worming/fleaing. We use Advocate from the vet which is £40 for the two of them for three months.

    They've already had the initial injections. The dog is 4 1/2 months, the cat a year and a bit (but we didn't get her till she was 5 months old, so she's now due her first yearly thingie till Sept).

    Stronghold (tick, flee, mange), given once a month, in West London is £19 for a three month package. Rabies booster shot (annually) is £20. Can't remember what the initial vaccinations were as a puppy, as the breeder provided everything and added it on to the purchase price.
