I am in Staffordshire and I am sure it is around £40 up here so not too bad.
Get your wormers online its much cheaper, I dont buy "extras" from the vets as they are too expensive.

I'm in Lymington and each set of injections was £33 and we got the microchip half price if we had it done at the same time of the second injections.

we charge about £50 for the full course. these 'for life' offers seem good at the first jab, but you have to pay a consultation fee each time you have your booster... what if you move?? or if the worst happens when your dog is a youngster??

just a thought...

When I registered Mason at our vets I joined their 'Vaccinate For Life' program - it cost £75 and that covers the cost of his jabs for the whole of his life.

I know it covers the vaccinations, but whenyou go to have it done do you not have to pay a consultation fee(this is the catch with a lot of them!)?? In the price of a booster we inculde a full physical health exam, nail clip/anal glands if needed.

I don't really see it as a 'catch'.  I have paid for the meds upfront and combine vaccination date with his annual MOT too - which at any other time I would also have to pay a consultation fee for.  To me it just gets it out of the way all at once  :D

 my 2 dogs are on the jabs for life programme.    when we go for boosters, we have never had to pay a penny.

they get a full health check - weight, eyes, heart etc.

the vet will spend time and answer any questions.

i cannot recommend this scheme highly enough.

there is no consultation fee.
with lots of love from silly milly and her mum!!!!

Thanks for the replies  :D It interesting how much it varies all over the country. I have my suspicions its just a one off full course payment. I'll have to wait and see. Only 3 days to go  :lol2:

Must say I shopped around before settling on a vet.

I took Tilly yesterday and for 2nd jab, kennel cough vaccine, worming tablets and some stuff for her ears it cost £47.  I know the vets I chose do primary vacs for £25 and boosters are £29 (for standard ones - kennel cough is extra). 

However, another vets I've used wanted £38 just for the second jab.

Both have more than one branch/hospital facilities/out of hours service so I've no idea how the prices vary so much.  I'd pay more if one was a better service, but I don't think the more expensive vets is!  I think where I live has an impact though - I'm in Sheffield and parts are very well off, but a lot isn't.  The vets I went to yesterday seemed surprised to see a pup already 1st jab, microchipped and insured?!

Yep and he was born during that heavy snow in January. All his littermates had different words for snow in different languagues, however his was the only Eastern name on the list so I chose that one   :D
