Hello
I've just bought a puppy and he is due his first vaccination when we get him at 8 weeks. I just wondered if anyone knew how much a course of vaccinations and a microchip is? Not thay we have any choice in paying it but I would be interested to know. Thanks !

Do you have a Vets4Pets in your area? They do a Vac4Life thing where you pay £99 and that covers the initial course of vaccinations and all of the boosters each year. This also includes a free vet check when the dog goes for the boosters each year.

I have been using my local Vets4Pets since they opened a few years ago and they are excellent.

The microchipping is £15.

Why would you have a choice?! It's part of the expense of owning a dog.

Anyway, I think my puppies were about £40 for the two sets. And I got him chipped for free by the Dogs Trust. Most animal sanctuaries (round here anyway) will chip for free, even if the dog wasn't obtained from them.

As above, something like £20 a go depending on your vet's fee for the appointment. It's slightly odd that the breeder isn't getting the pup vaccinated and chipped for you. What kind of dog are you getting, and is it KC reg?

We paid £56 for mine three years ago which was for her jabs and microchipping and we also got a good bag too.

I paid £35 for the first set and £26 for the second, no Vets4Pets round here Microchipping was free though, have a google and see are there any microchipping schemes running, they seem to do them a lot here.
