Default Do you give your dog there own shots?

I have been thinking about just going and buying the stuff and start giving my dog her shots I have been told that its so much cheaper. I really don't know where to go buy the shots at so does anyone here give there dog their shots? If so where do you buy them at? And how much do they cost?

When I had my litter of puppies this past winter, I gave them the shots myself. It was $6 per pup to do it myself verses $15 from my vet. You can buy them at some PetSmart stores & I think all farm stores. I got mine at the farm store.

You're welcome. Although, I have never found a store that sells the rabies shot. You'll probably still have to get this from the vet. That's probably best anyway because you get a tag from the vet that proves that she has the shot. If you buy the shot, you don't get the tag. I don't know about where you live, but where I live, if people don't see the tag hanging from their collar, you can get in trouble. My vet only charges $12 for the rabies shot though, so it's realy not that bad.

I am glad that you mentioned the rabies shot I probably would have forgotten it. I hope that my husband will give her the shots I don't know if I am nurse materal or not.

You can buy all except Rabies from Drs. Foster & Smith. Rabies has to be legally given by a vet.

I have to look into this. I had no idea you could administer shots on your own.

I was surprised at reading this as well.
We can't buy our shots over the counter in the UK.

I thought most of the drugs given were prescription, so you would have to be over 18 to give them anyway.

Strange how one country interprets stuff different to another.
