Is It Possible to Self-Administer Dog Vaccines?
You may be wondering: “Can I give my dog shots at home?” While the short answer is yes, most people can give their dogs a shot, other questions to ask are:
Should I give my dog shots?
What shots does my dog really need?
What shots should we avoid?
Can I properly administer them myself?
A Veterinarian Is Required for Rabies Vaccinations
Before we proceed, there are a few important points to mention. State public health and law enforcement officials do not recognize the administration of a rabies vaccine unless it was administered by or under the supervision of a veterinarian, according to state protocol. Vaccinating someone else's animal and being paid for it is also illegal if you are not a veterinarian.
Disposal Requirements
Syringes and needles require proper disposal as hazardous waste. They cannot be disposed of in the garbage or in a landfill.
How Much Do Dog Vaccinations Cost?
One major reason for giving dog shots at home is to save money. However, what are the cost savings? Let’s compare a vet bill for two common canine vaccinations.
This cost comparison is based on purchasing the vaccines online from Doctors Foster and Smith and includes shipping and handling charges. (Vaccines must be shipped by one or two-day air; costs were calculated using the one-day air rate of $14.99.)
The prices for the veterinary services were verified at Vinton Veterinary Hospital in Vinton, Virginia, on December 15, 2011, and are the usual and customary charges for having our dogs vaccinated at their facility.
The vaccines in this example ship to Virginia and so a prescription is not required for needles and syringes. Be aware that other states could require a prescription.
Note: Fees have likely changed over the years since this analysis. This information is to provide you with a general cost comparison.
Cost Comparison Analysis
Cost of canine DHLPP vaccine booster shot (includes non-core leptospirosis):
Vet = $51.50 (includes office visit)
Self-administered = $18.98 (includes needle and syringe)
Savings = $32.52
Cost of bordetella booster
Vet = $20.00 (does not include office visit)
Self-administered = $18.18 (includes purchasing a needle and syringe for injectable ONLY)
Savings = $1.82
An office visit to consult with the vet: $49.00
Net Savings
For a net savings of around $34, you have to decide for yourself if it is cost effective to administer the shots—especially if you are squeamish or own a large animal that might be difficult to inject.
The Benefit of the Vet Visit
In addition, since the canine DHLPP vaccine (at least at our veterinarian's office) includes an office visit, we know our dog also gets a complete checkup and the vet will let us know if he sees any warning signs or potential health troubles. For us, that peace of mind is worth the extra cost.
Core Combination Vaccine Notation
D = canine distemper virus
H or A2 = canine adenovirus-2 or A2 (tracheobronchitis) and canine adenovirus-1 (infectious hepatitis)—protects against both
P = parvovirus
P = parainfluenza
