I re-homed a 5 month old puppy who hasn’t had any shots yet. I’m not sure what shots he needs and how much they will cost. Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | unneutered | 30 lbs

Congratulations on your new addition! The answer to which vaccinations he will need depends his individual risk factors. I am attaching a link to the American Animal Hospital Association's vaccine guideline below. https://www.aaha.org/guidelines/canine_vaccination_guidelines/practice_vaccination.aspx They recommend that all dogs receive DAPP and Rabies vaccinations. Those vaccines are considered Core vaccinations. Any other vaccinations are considered Non-Core and are only recommended for dogs that are at risk of contracting those diseases. The above website also includes a Lifestyle-Based Vaccine Calculator to help you determine which diseases he may be at risk for, but be sure to discuss that with your veterinarian to make the best decision. I am also attaching a link to VetCo vaccination prices for vaccinations for your reference. https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/ Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
