Giro 2,648 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Slightly off topic but how many owners stick to the booster annually? I do but I like to go aboard.. The kennels require up to date booster and kennel cough .. I don't mind spending the cash on the dogs.. Mine are worth it 2 Quote Link to post

TOPPER 1,809 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 its horses for courses if you buy jabs from a trusted source were there stored at the right temp and are in date, all vaccine viles carry a date and batch number then there is no reason you cant vaccinate your own dog if however you don t like needles or are not confident to do it go to the cheapest vet you can find , ive always done my own dogs with no problem infact i do 99% of my dogs vet work but if i needed a vet i know a few good ones and they know me so wont rip me off you can ask your vet for a prescription for vaccinations for your dogs then go to NVS, Dunlops, Centuar etc and buy a tray of jabs perfectly legally but in realaity its not worth the hassle 1 Quote Link to post
C Hall 552 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I would be quite happy to inject pups myself if I was 100% happy with the quality of the vaccinations, in fact I would rather do it that way than trail the pups to the vets. 2 Quote Link to post
salukixgrey 779 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I've got a good vet Daniel Doherty a greyhound vet he not dear and no the ins and outs of running dogs, I wouldn't use anyone else. Ring him day or night and he will see you, can't ask for much more than that. He half price than my local vets for vaccinations and don't try and rip you of will always point you in the right direction. He down south if anyone got any problems pm me i can point you in his direction. Where abouts roughly? I travel about 8 miles past a few other practices to my vets for jabs and anything I'm not happy treating myself and they are very understanding with working dogs but always handy to know of another goodun. I must live near you mate im not far from newbury, I travel to Langley only bout half hour up the m4. pm me I can give you a number for him mate Quote Link to post

paulf 820 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I always used to jab myself but after going abroad a few times we cant always rely on people to house and dog sit so I went to budget vets in Newport and they charged £59 for both jabs ,flead ,wormed ,kennel cough and micro chipped so not bad really .... 1 Quote Link to post
