When do newborn puppies need shots and deworming? I rescued 3 mix bred puppies at 2 weeks old from a crazy lady. I need to know how much it is going to cost me to vaccinate them and also how much can i get for the puppies with no paperwork on them.

I would recommend their first round of vaccines at 6 weeks. The vet will be able to deworm them and give you instructions on when they will need their next set of shots and deworming. Since prices vary so much depending on the area and the practice, I would call the vet you plan to use for vaccines and ask for prices on first round of puppy shots for two puppies. They should be able to give you a close estimate of cost. Since they are mixed breeds, I doubt you will be able to get a lot of money for selling them. Most people are only willing to pay for full breed dogs or a small “adoption” fee if a mixed breed. You may be able to ask for the cost of the vet visit for them. I hope this helps!
