Vaccines, Preventatives & Additional Services Pricing (Dogs)

Vaccines: 

• Canine Influenza (CIV): $25
  • CIV vaccination is an important way to protect your dog from serious respiratory disease. CIV can cause illness in dogs including: pneumonia, fever, and respiratory failure. CIV is recommended for dogs that spend time in boarding facilities, dog parks, travel frequently, or have contact with other dogs.
• Leptospirosis: $25
  • Leptospira bacteria can affect animals and humans. Dogs can get leptospirosis through contact with infected urine, contaminated water, soil, food, or bedding. They can also catch it from a bite of an infected animal or from eating infected tissues or carcasses. In rare cases, it can be passed from the mother dog to her puppies. Currently available vaccines effectively prevent some strains of leptospirosis. This vaccine is highly recommended for any dog that goes outside.
• Lyme: $25
  • Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium that is transmitted to humans and animals through the bite of infected black-legged ticks (deer ticks). If your dog spends time in places where ticks are common, like wooded or brushy areas with tall grass and leaves, we recommend having your pet vaccinated for Lyme disease. This vaccine does not replace the need for year-round flea and tick prevention.
• Bordetella: $20

Puppies may have picked up intestinal parasites from their mother or the environment. There will be two doses to be given two weeks apart at home. We recommend dewormer for adult pets only if they are showing symptoms of roundworms or hookworms.

Additional Services: 

• Anal Gland Expression: $25
  • Most pets don’t need their anal glands expressed unless they’re showing signs of a problem. These glands usually empty on their own when your pet goes to the bathroom. If they’re not having any issues, expressing them too often can actually make things worse by causing irritation or swelling. You’ll know your pet might need help if they’re scooting, licking their rear a lot, have a strong smell, or seem uncomfortable when sitting. If you notice any of these signs, bring them in so we can check things out. Otherwise, it’s best to leave the glands alone and let them work naturally.
• Nail Trim: $25
  • We’ll do our best to trim your pet’s nails during their visit. However, some pets become too nervous or uncomfortable for us to safely complete the trim while they’re awake. In those cases, we may not be able to perform the service without sedation. If you know your pet usually needs sedation for nail trims, please contact our office ahead of time so we can discuss the safest and most comfortable options for your pet. Our goal is always to keep your pet calm, safe, and stress-free.
• Microchip: $15
  • It is recommended that all pets have microchips. If a pet is lost or kidnapped, a microchip is a vital part of reuniting them with their guardians. A microchip can only be read with a special scanner at a veterinary office or shelter. The chip must be registered with your information and the pet's information to be able to reunite you with your pet in case they get separated from you. If you purchase a microchip from HRA, registration will be free.
