What Puppy Vaccinations Actually Cost

Puppy vaccinations protect your dog from deadly diseases like parvo, distemper, and rabies. In San Jose, the total cost from 8 weeks through 16 weeks (the core puppy series) varies by clinic. At ARCH Veterinary, we provide transparent pricing and a complete first-year package — no surprise fees. Each puppy visit includes the exam, vaccines, deworming, and a full health check.

The Core Puppy Vaccine Schedule

6–8 weeks: first DAPP vaccine (distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus, parainfluenza), deworming. 10–12 weeks: second DAPP, Bordetella (kennel cough), Leptospirosis (recommended in San Jose due to wildlife exposure). 14–16 weeks: third DAPP booster, Rabies (required by California law), Leptospirosis booster. 12–16 months: 1-year DAPP and Rabies boosters, then every 1–3 years depending on lifestyle.

What's Included in Each ARCH Puppy Visit

Every puppy visit at ARCH includes: comprehensive nose-to-tail physical exam, weight and growth tracking, vaccines on schedule, deworming treatment, fecal parasite test (recommended at first visit), nutrition counseling specific to your puppy's breed and size, behavior and socialization advice, microchipping (offered at one of the early visits), and unlimited questions answered.

Optional but Recommended Add-Ons

Microchipping — strongly recommended, lifetime registration included. Fecal parasite test — checks for roundworms, hookworms, giardia (common in puppies). Heartworm prevention — start at 6–8 weeks of age, year-round in California. Flea and tick prevention — required year-round in the Bay Area. Spay or neuter — typically scheduled at 4–6 months for cats, 6–12 months for dogs depending on breed.

Why Transparent Pricing Matters

ARCH provides a written estimate before any service. We don't believe in surprise charges or upselling. If your puppy needs care beyond a routine vaccine visit (parvo testing, deworming for a positive fecal, etc.), we'll explain the cost and get your approval first. Call (669) 230-5034 for current puppy package pricing or schedule online.
