Yes I've heard about giving shots yourself at-home and it generally is LOADS cheaper. I've looked into it but haven't done it myself yet. I will really consider though once I get more comfortable with giving shots though

Some places it is illegal to give them youself, chances are that your local store sells them that it is legal.

And yes it is cheaper! Just make sure you do it right. I suggest having your vet show you just in case. And also remember to make a yearly appointment with your vet for an exam & other needed things like heartworm etc...

it is illegal here, even for Rabies shots, except with the rabies you have no prof to get the license..and its only 8 dollars to have shots done by the visiting vet,checkup are 15.So my friend is doing the shots for me, I will get rabies and cks from the visiting vet..

When I do vaccinations, I do them myself. I get the vaccines from my vet though. If I recall correctly, it's around 15 dollars a dog, instead of the 45 it would cost at the clinic.

i used to go to the vet when i was little but as i grew up i started giving my dogs their shots by myself, only the rabies i still go to the vet so i can get a certificate that it was given. i dont know the quality of that brand, but do a research about it and maybe if you feel comfortable and get practice (not on dogs of course, maybe in oranges or something) than you can do it yourself, its WAY cheaper, but you have to know what you are giving them.

another question....
if you do the shots yourself, how do you proove that the dogs are UTD on their shots?
