Most puppies will require a series of shots spaced out 3-4 weeks apart, usually a combo vaccine such as DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza). Some combo vaccines may also include Coronavirus or Leptospirosis in them as well depending on your area. At about six months of age, your pup will also need a rabies vaccine that must be administered by a vet. The following year a booster of all vaccines are given, and then either a yearly or three year protocol is usually done to booster all vaccines after that. There are also many other optional vaccines, such as bordetella, that can be given depending on if you plan to board your dog, bring him to a daycare, etc. Working with a vet in your area is best as they will know the most about any required vaccines and what to tailor for you and Russel. Price will vary depending on location and if you go with a vaccine clinic or a private veterinarian and can range anywhere from 50-150+ depending on if an exam is also given or any other tests (such as a parasite test) are done as well. Contacting veterinarians in your area can help give you a better estimate of the total cost of all vaccines depending on what you end up giving.
