260 bucks.  Wow...

deworming tablets & 9th week shot cycle including distemper &
fecal sample.

I was even charged 5 bucks to dispose of the syringe.

Is this normal?

Is there any way to lower my costs?

i dislike this vet alredy. my vet gives free first dog/puppy exam with deworming and then i have just payed for shots and any extra. but never 260 bucks.

You should have taken the syringe and disposed of it yourself. lol
Yikes, I'd look to see if there are any other vets around.

Yeah that is pricey.   My vet charges me $55 for exam; shots; and deworming.  A bit more if I take extra deworming for the 2 & 3 round to give at home.

Fecal sample can run more, but not $205 worth.   Shop around.

I have also found that many rescue agencies will have low cost vaccinations.  Just take standard puppy precautions and you should be good there for the next 2 rounds of shots.

Thanks for reminding me, actually, they're due.

My vet charges $25 for a fecal, I buy the vaccines from the vet and give them to the puppy or pups myself for $12 each, and if for a pup usually strongid dewormer, for $10, an ounce of strongid that lasts a good while.    Your vet is a little bit ridiculous.

Call around before setting an appointment. You will find that prices vary with each office.

you can google cheep vet and your zipcode and may find one.

Sitasmom, that's why I like my vet....no appointments unless you're getting surgery done on your dog.  You just show up, and they take care of what you need.  It always sounds weird to me when I hear people setting up appointments for their vet, or some having to pay just to enter the door for that matter.  Aside from calling around, if they google different vets in their area they may also see reviews as well. I noticed them on the one I go to, nothing but very good reviews and tons of them for that matter.
