think in the uk you have to go to a vets, but a vet nurse can give them under the guidance of a vet and some vets charge a bit less for that.

in the us you can buy them online and give them yourself, but not in this country,

ring around, the difference between vets can be a lot of dosh

Its usually around £60 for the first vaccination course for puppies, and then about £40 for a booster each year. Vets for pets do a "Vacc for life" where you pay £99 (well it was when i got my staffys done!) and this covers the booster for your dog every year for his/her life so works out a very good deal!!

thats steep i pay 20 for me boosters

£55 at my vets - and thats both puppy jabs, wormer for both visits, flea treatment, vet check/consultation, bag full of freebies and samples and also £5 off spay/neuter when they're older.
And the yearly boosters are £18 or half price in April (for some reason) which is great as thats when Millie has hers

it all depends on where you live...been loads of areas and it varies greatly.
A vetnurse can only give a second vac of a puppy course. Vacs serve a dual purpose...one is to protect and the other is so a vet can give a full health check.
they are Prescription only medications meaning a vet has to prescribe them

The 1/2 price vacs in April have been to do with a vaccination amnesty where the vaccine companies charge less to the vet and therefore the charge to you is less.... this is to encourage people to vaccinate regularly

It costs about £75 for the primary course here, then about £30 for boosters (I don't give them any more).
