Overview
Vaccines, eighteen bucks, no upcharges.
Most Tucson clinics charge $45-$80 per vaccine, and almost all of them bundle a mandatory $65 office visit fee onto vaccine appointments. The result: a three-shot puppy visit can run $250+ before you've left the building. We don't do that. Every core and lifestyle vaccine we offer is $18, flat, and vaccine visits don't carry an exam fee.
We can keep the price low because vaccine visits are quick — a tech weighs your pet, our vet does a brief check-in (heart, lungs, temperature, eyes, ears), administers the shots, and you're back out the door. No long waiting room sit, no upsells.
If your pet hasn't been seen by us in over a year, or if you're new to the clinic, we may recommend a full wellness exam first ($35) so we have a baseline on file. That's a one-time thing — annual vaccine boosters after that stay at flat $18 pricing.
Pricing
Eighteen dollars, any shot.
Every vaccine is the same flat price — pick the ones your pet actually needs.
First-time clients: a one-time $35 wellness exam may be required to establish care. After that, all vaccine boosters stay at flat $18 pricing.
What each one is for
What your pet actually needs protection from.
Same vaccines a specialty clinic uses — we just price them honestly.

How it works
A quick stop, start to finish.
No fasting, no prep — vaccine visits are quick and simple.
Minute 1
Sign in
Front desk takes your name and pulls or creates your pet's record. If your pet is new to us, we'll grab their vaccine history from the previous vet if you have it.
Minutes 2–5
Quick check-in with the vet
A brief once-over — heart, lungs, temperature, eyes, ears. This is included, not a separate exam fee, on vaccine visits.
Minutes 6–10
Vaccines administered
A tech administers the shots your pet needs. Most pets barely notice — a treat, a quick injection, and done.
Minutes 11–15
Checkout & records
We hand you a printed vaccine record, sync it to your owner portal, and you're out the door.
What to expect after
Mild and brief, in almost every case.
Most pets bounce back the same day. A few common, mild reactions — and a short list of when to call us.
First 24 hours
A bit sleepy
Mild lethargy is normal. Your pet may want extra rest, eat slightly less, and skip the evening zoomies. Offer a quiet space and a normal meal.
Days 1–2
Soreness at the injection site
A small, tender bump at the shot site is common. It should be gone within 48 hours. Some pets are mildly sore — gentle handling helps.
Call us right away
Anything more than that
Facial swelling, hives, persistent vomiting, or weakness lasting more than a day are rare but worth a call. Reach us at the main line; if we're closed, head to an emergency hospital.
