Copy cat.
I figured anyone can google but I noticed many of you guys have pets. So why not ask here. Me and my room mate are planning to get a puppy. After considering how much time we have and what we want and overall cuteness we decided on a Lab. We have a big back yard for him.Plus we jog often. Looks like a classic good dog
I had dogs when I was a kid but not since I grew up. My room mate has had dogs and has more experience. Since we are getting this dog from a friend who's lab just had puppies we need to give our dog vaccinations. My question is how many will it need ? how much will each shot cost? Any where do you recommend me getting them? My pub is 3 months old.

lol shut up. besides you didnt want to help me
Shots are the cheap part. Labs are eating, ting, hole digging destructo machines till they are about two years old. Then if you are lucky they quit tearing so much up but still eat like horses and cover your yard in land mines.
My friend's lab don''t seem that bad....pretty good actually which is why I wanted his pup..good genes maybe?Maybe you need to train yours? I am over there often and his labs are well behaved. I don't know about the land mines though
Thanks for ignoring my question
and some parents say the same about their children......
I don't have labs but thanks for playing.My friend's lab don''t seem that bad....pretty good actually which is why I wanted his pup..good genes maybe?

If the puppy is already 3 months old it should have already had all it's puppy shots.
Minimum should be combo vaccination at 6,9, and 12 weeks along with rabies at 12. Boosters at 1 year.
Usually they give vaccinations against carre, parvo, rabies and weil disease or tails. But it depends where you live and depends of how old the dog is. For some vaccinations the puppy needs to be a bit older.
You should just go to a veterinarian in your area and ask for advice and they'll give your dog the right vaccinations.
Tlong is our animal ing expert. Might want to pm him
I heard that from my cousin at Thanksgiving (he has 2 labs he raised from pups) when someone was asking for dog recommendations. I didn't believe it until I stopped by with a donation at the Animal Defense League shelter last week. Man that place was crammed full of labs and Jack Russell terriers. You can just look at a Jack Russell and know that they are trouble, but the lab thing really surprised me.
My sister has a lab and he's destroyed almost everything. Tore the stuffing right out of her couch.
I think you should go down to the pound or shelter and adopt a dog that nobody wants or one that's been found. My dog was roaming the streets years ago and we kept her. You could not ask for a better dog.

i'm glad you posted that twice. i finally got it on the second go 'round.
It depends where you go but usually they are about 50 bucks every time you go. For puppies you have to give them shots 3 times in the first few months. But after its every year.
What a coincidence she happened to be wearing a Spurs headband
i'm sure there's low cost vaccinations down there. SNAP or SNYP.
Oh, and if you do get it then get it fixed ASAP. Theres plenty of dogs already.
Pups usually need 4 sets of shots within the first 6 months. Price depends on where you live and your vet.
The labs sour candy is referring to are my labs. The female needed training.. alot of it from biting (labs are mouthy). Basics like sit,stay,roll over,speak and potty training was fairly easy. The male was a natural very good dog hardly any training. Cowboy is right about the land mines haha. However we didn't have that prob long. We have a dirt pile in the corner of the yard he uses. So combined with training and luck of the dog having brains you may get a easy lab or hard headed lab. Mine are great. I think its the rep...a lot of people say labs this labs that. Same with pit bulls being vicious..which they have a rep for. Obviously not all are bad.
Yeah but their vaccinations aren't that much cheaper than any regular place. The vaccines for my dogs were 50 dollars.
Jack Russells are absolutely fabulous dogs, I think people just don't realize what they're getting into when they decide on terriers.
http://www.lowcostvacc.com/ - the prices, locations, and everything else are on the site. It's mobile and usually sets up in HEB/Walgreen's etc parking lots around town. Scroll down and you'll see the schedule.
Food is the expensive thing, my doberman has destroyed everything in our house, he just turned a year old, but he's a good friendly dog. And buy it good food, dont buy any cheap food, dont buy food with grain or corn on it.
True. It's so sad because JR's especially are so extremely intelligent, but I think people look at their compact size and think "lapdog" instead of "energetic and curious". If you don't provide outlets for the dog to work off the energy and curiosity, he'll provide his own, mostly by tearing up.
I had my cats spayed at SNAP. It was $50 per cat, plus they gave me coupons for $25 rebates from one of the veterinary supply companies. It was quite a bargain considering my vet would have charged $125 each---but he'd have given me a discount for rescuing them. When you add vaccinations ($300 for both cats), those "free" cats get expensive real fast!
Of course after I saved all that dough, one of the cats got her ass kicked by the neighborhood thug cat, requiring a surgery to the tune of $450
