Hey Beyond!
So the spikerS family is going to be adopting a dog. Normally, I would be going through a shelter and as a benefit, this would all be included...However....
We are going to be getting a puppy, and we think we have found a litter that we would like to choose a puppy from. As it will be a larger dog, I want to start with a puppy so the kids can get used to the puppy when it is smaller and adjust with the dog over time as it grows. SO, I know we are going to be incurring vet costs pretty much from day 1 and over the first 6ish months before we get on a schedule for yearly checkups.
What are the normal costs for puppy vaccinations and getting spayed/neutered?
Also, looking for some recommendations on good vets in the north end of the city / Airdrie area with good service and pricing schedules.
I haven't had to deal with the puppy side of things in like 15 years, so I am sure the costs have changed, and I just want to make sure we budget appropriately for it.
And before you ask, the puppy breed we are considering is a Black Lab x Saint Bernard x Bernese Mountain Dog.
