how often are shots needed?

hiya all!

i was wondering when you get your puppy, when do you start doing the shots and how often? what do they need....and average cost??!

alot to ask i know, but i a am pretty lacking in this part of knowledge to be honest

i will of course see my vet when the times comes but some heads up would be nice!

Thanks!!

It differs at different vets, but I had 1 shot at 8wks and another at 10wks I think? and she wasn't allowed out for a week after that one...

Cost £25 each time to see the vets here

I think some vets do them as young as 8 weeks but personally I think this is too young as the puppies still have some of their mothers immunity and I have heard the innoculations don't take as well. I usually have our dogs done at about 10 weeks and 12 weeks or if the puppy was 12 weeks when I got it like my GSD was then it was 12 and 14 weeks. I think cost varies depending what part of the country you are in - think its about £28 for the full course here.

WOW! that was quick!! i was going to leave a post for you earlyer but forgot!! you said that it seemed easy to get my boyfreind to change his mind!! it only took 2 years! haha!!

anyway!! or right! so do they go monthly after taht for other shots or every 6 months........? theres me thinking its alot often and £100 a shot!?!?

im in essex! i go to medivets !?

£38 for both here 8 weeks and 10 weeks

No its yearly after that just general booster. (beware people on here will probably tell you not to do it yearly )

Same price as just seeing the vet to say hello. Again, £25 here.

2 years! Poor you, took my OH about 5 seconds to persuade me

i dont pay anything to see my vet here?! maybe i am meant to but they dont ask?!!

oh yearly! oh thats great! i honestly thought it would be £100's and more often, great stuff!!

Mine were done at 8 & 10 weeks & was allowed out at 13 weeks.

Again cost was probably about £25 - £30 (same for the annual booster) & that includes a general health check too.

Hi

this is my first post, so hello everyone!

we just got our dog injected. He had one at 10 and 12 weeks and we had our first walk this morning! The vet recommended keeping him in a extra five days after shots. i live in N. Ireland and the shots cost £25.00 each.
