Veterinarians are willing and do go the extra mile for their clients, but pet owners should be aware of the expenses involved as part of responsible pet ownership. The rabies vaccination is the only shot needed for a rabies certificate. This is required by law to protect humans and animals from rabies. It is for your pet's well being that it receive a thorough examination and all the vaccines that your veterinarian recommends to keep your pet healthy. There are many diseases that can affect your pet, many that are fatal.
Vaccines are a safe, easy and cost effective way to prevent disease.
Your veterinarian will advise you of the recommended vaccinations. Prices vary and a veterinary hospital may quote them over the telephone. Moreover, if he or she opens up their own clinic a substantial amount of money has to be invested. Human doctors utilize a central facility funded and subsidized by your tax dollars. A veterinary hospital has no such luxury and is funded out of a veterinarian's pocket.
