Dog vaccines in Vetted's New York City dataset cost between $20 and $150 per dose, with an overall observed median of $65. The analysis includes 201 eligible prices from 45 clinics, covering rabies, Bordetella, DHPP/DA2PP, leptospirosis, Lyme and other canine vaccines.

The five vaccines with meaningful sample sizes — rabies, Bordetella, DHPP/DA2PP, leptospirosis and Lyme — all had observed medians between $63.32 and $67.

The vaccine itself may not be the full cost of the appointment. Some clinics also charge a routine exam or technician-visit fee, while others may bundle vaccines or administer several during the same visit.

Despite large differences between the lowest and highest recorded prices, the median price was remarkably consistent across the five best-represented vaccines.

Lyme had the highest observed median at $67, while DHPP/DA2PP had the lowest at $63.32. Rabies, Bordetella and leptospirosis all had medians close to $65.

The wider ranges show why a single advertised price may not tell an owner what the complete visit will cost. Differences can reflect the product used, the length of protection, the way the vaccine is administered, whether it is bundled with another service and whether an exam fee is charged separately.

How to read this table: Each observation represents one verified price for that vaccine or vaccine product. The observed range is the full minimum-to-maximum spread found in the dataset, not a promise of what every clinic charges. Vaccine formulation, duration, administration method and bundling can all affect the price — a one-year and a three-year rabies vaccine, for example, may not be directly interchangeable. The canine influenza and distemper/leptospirosis bundle rows are each based on a single observation. They're useful as examples, not as reliable citywide benchmarks.

Vetted found 45 rabies vaccine prices from 42 clinics. The observed median was $65.50, and prices ranged from $25 to $112.

New York requires dogs to be vaccinated against rabies, subject to limited exceptions. Clinics may offer different vaccine durations, including one-year and three-year products, so two rabies prices may not represent identical services.

Vetted found 46 Bordetella vaccine prices from 40 clinics. The observed median was $64.30, with a range of $30 to $100.

Bordetella vaccination is commonly associated with dogs that attend daycare, boarding or grooming facilities. Requirements and recommended schedules can vary.

Vetted found 38 DHPP/DA2PP vaccine prices from 37 clinics. The observed median was $63.32, with a range of $25 to $105.

DHPP and DA2PP are names used for combination vaccines covering several diseases. Confirm which components and doses are included before comparing prices.

Vetted found 49 leptospirosis vaccine prices from 38 clinics, the largest sample in the dataset. The observed median was $63.72.

Prices ranged from $20 to $150, the widest spread among the five vaccines with meaningful samples. Product differences, series requirements and appointment fees may contribute to that variation.

Vetted found 21 Lyme vaccine prices from 21 clinics. The observed median was $67, with a range of $30 to $123.

Lyme vaccination decisions may depend on a dog's exposure to ticks and travel or outdoor habits. Owners should ask their veterinarian whether it is appropriate for their dog.

Vetted has one verified canine influenza observation, at $64.80. That single price is an example, not a reliable citywide benchmark — a larger sample is needed before drawing conclusions about typical canine influenza pricing in NYC.

The dataset is concentrated in Brooklyn and Manhattan, which is where like-for-like borough comparisons are currently possible:

Vetted currently has too few eligible Queens and Bronx observations to publish meaningful borough medians for these vaccines. The Brooklyn-Manhattan differences reflect the clinics represented in the dataset and should not be treated as proof that location alone caused the price difference.

The vaccine price can be only one part of the visit. A bill may also include:

Because billing structures vary, compare the complete service description rather than relying only on the name of the vaccine.

Vetted's dataset shows a $65.50 median across 45 observations from 42 clinics, with prices ranging from $25 to $112.

The observed median is $64.30, based on 46 observations from 40 clinics, with a range of $30 to $100.

The observed median is $63.32, based on 38 observations from 37 clinics, with a range of $25 to $105.

Not always. Some clinics charge a separate routine exam or technician-visit fee. Owners should ask whether the quoted price covers only the vaccine or the entire appointment.

Differences can reflect the vaccine product, duration, number of required doses, administration method, bundling and separate appointment fees. The type of provider — independent, corporate-backed or nonprofit — can also play a role.

Vetted's dataset includes a range of provider types, which is part of why the observed range extends as low as $20.

Vetted analyzed 201 eligible dog-vaccine price observations from 45 New York City clinics. The database includes documented prices collected through Vetted's records, including submitted veterinary bills and other eligible clinic-price research. It is not a complete survey of every NYC clinic. Sample sizes vary by vaccine and borough, and the findings should be treated as starting points, not quotes. Read more on Vetted's methodology page.
