Hi,
Can anyone tell me somewhere in Melbourne to get my puppy vaccinated for a relatively cheap price? Im looking for the C3 vaccine only - ideally without a health check etc - the cheapest I'm finding is around the $90 - $100 dollar mark which includes the vaccine, a health check and initial consultation. It would be great to find a vet that will do it for around the $50 or so mark!
Thanks!

Of course pet ownership costs were factored in - but having said that this is Ozbargain after all - and there is no harm in asking :)
Not many vets are going to give your dog an injection without a quick checkup. It's only $100!
If you aren't willing to pay that, you probably should think twice about pet ownership.

We need more bargains on dogs for this site !!!!!
(can't go around spending $500/year on a living, breathing, barking thing)
Not sure if youre implying 500 is a reasonable amount or a huge amount, but as this is Ozbargain, there is no reason not to ask for a better price!
I would be concerned if a vet did not perform a physical exam prior to vaccinating and obtaining a history for an animal.
Generally initially health checks for pups are offered free by vets (usually by a vet nurse), so removing that aspect isn't likely to save you $$.
It's $100. I'd seriously be considering what position you're in to own a pet if that's a stretch.
$100 is certainly not a stretch by any means - but having said that this is Ozbargain after all - and there is no harm in asking if anyone knows a good deal going around :)
Should ask Pauline Hanson for an advice :)
$65 for C3 vaccine at AAPS. I'm not sure if they're gonna add consultation cost to it or not. Maybe call up to double check.
So I managed to find my own bargain - $48.30 for the C3 vaccine at Petstock Vet for bookings made this month. Submitted the deal - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/296948

did you factor in vet costs when purchasing your dog?
