I created this topic because of what happened today, I am a pet lover who will do anything to make my pets be in good condition. So I went to visit a fried who has a dog and he hasn't vacinnated him in a while (deworming , etc) then I told him of the dangers of not vaccinating his dog. So we looked for a nearby vet. After explaining all that needs to be explained ,then we got the shock of our lives when this guy gave a bill of about 15k
Deworming 4,000
DHP - 7,000
Multivitamin (one K9 tablet ) 3,000
And and some other thing about 2500

I was like are you kidding me ?

After much talk the dude was asking how much did you buy the dog , so do u expect to vacinate it with 2,000 naira. Then I noticed Nigerians generally believe that you have arrived once you get a dog. I had almost the same experience when I took my dog for vacinnation the first time.

I understand that prices may vary but I don't think vets should over extort people. So please how much do you vaccinate your dog and wjere is your location .
This is to give upcoming dog owners or dogs owners an idea of what they should budget when going to the vet.

to vaccine a dog is 4000 naira..

JOOHEL:
to vaccine a dog is 4000 naira..

Correct!

location matters.
Deworming injection -3,000
DHP -2000
Multivitamin- 2,000


In PHC
it was cheaper when i called someone from Aba. He charged me 4,500 for the ones mention plus transport included in the 4,500.

Look for somewhere else. sometimes, greed makes them to behave that way.
The price of the dog should not determine the prices of shots given or treatment given.

antibiotics -- 2,000
antirabies -- 3,500-4,000

Dhpp.and deworming +multivitamin and booster. Costs 4K.

Wow thanks for your inputs , at least this will serve as a guide to anyone taking dogs for vaccination, cos some people just want to rip you off for the love of dogs .

For me I generally think between 2k to 5k should be a fair depending on the nature of the vacinnation

JOOHEL:

Dhpp.and deworming +multivitamin and booster. Costs 4K.

osomegbe:

Lagos state. Ikeja to be precise

You guys have all said well,from all I have been able to scoop out of the long list of people's opines but as for the self trial thing whoever is subscribed to the idea of treating his or her by his/herself should reconsider the impending consequence when it backfires....just a candid advice!

I once opened a thread seeking petlanders to help draw a timetable of vaccines so that people who are interested can administer these drugs themselves. Of course I know breeders who inject dogs and I've also watched how to inject dogs on YouTube. I also have a customer who does that himself.

You are right if you aint experienced don't do it

Hello guys pls how many types of vaccination do we have and which one is the best

The price of vaccination varies just the same way there are different vaccines with different efficacy which cost differently. To also add the fact that location matters. You don't expect the vaccination of someone who used over half a million to rent his clinic apartment annually to someone who just used 100k to rent his apartment for 1 year. Off course all these factors play a major role.
And to those that think they can do it on their own, it's only a matter of time before it backfires as most of you think it's just about getting a syringe and the vaccine and you're as good as done. I'm a Vet and i have seen several cases where people administered drugs or vaccines on their animals and had to pay through their nose to correct the situation and worse off, the pet died.
Owning a pet isn't for everybody, its more like owning a child. if you know you're not financially ready to take care of a pet, then don't force it. Pets like dogs especially are for people who can comfortably take care of themselves, unfortunately most people in this part of the world purchase pets and then make them pass through hell all in the name of the money you want to make.

My submission.

Sir, if it were possible for me to dash you a thousand likes, sincerely I would do so. in fact I had to review all your post and give each a like. God bless you sir. You took the word out of my mouth. It is attitudes like this that makes them fall into the hand of quacks. Imagine here on Nairaland, someone claimed he could treat parvo for less than 500 naira, and a lot of people followed him !!!!!!

Vaccination is pretty costly where I live, but it's too much of a life-saver to be cheap about it. I should be happy that I can order original pet drugs for my dog without going broke, since you can get them from uk pet drugs with free delivery and generous discounts. For people who own pets, there's nothing more important than having an ability to keep their pets healthy.

Can you at least tell us the brand name of the drugs you got

okay

Deworming tablet bottle is 5k now, which deworming drug did you buy 900 naira? Vaccination is 3k every 2 weeks 3 times making 9k,government vetinary clinics would charge you 4500 per dose and your dog has to take 3! The last multivamin I bought was 5k and I am sure it would be more by now No matter what, you would still spend close to 15k or more self
