Petco Vaccination Prices 2026: Vetco Shot Clinic Costs for Dogs & Cats

The best buy on Petco’s vaccine menu is easy to miss. The Complete package for adult dogs costs $149 in Chicago, only $4 more than the Maintenance package ($6 more in New York and Los Angeles), and those few dollars add a rabies shot and a 5-in-1 that cost $85–$96 bought separately. Petco gives the shots at Vetco clinics inside its stores, with no exam fee; Vetco adds a $5.99 materials and disposal fee per pet. The single-shot prices are in the estimator, which includes that fee, and the full menu follows.

Which Petco vaccine package is the best deal for an adult dog?

For dogs over 6 months, Vetco sells three packages:

How much are single vaccines at Petco?

A single dog vaccine at Vetco costs $39 to $66. The clinics charge no exam fee, which is the big difference from a regular vet. You pay for the shots, a $5.99 materials and disposal fee per pet, and any rabies license fee and sales tax.

• Rabies is the cheapest core shot, at $39–$45. A three-year rabies shot requires proof of a previous rabies vaccination.
• The 5-in-1 (DHPP) costs $46–$51. Adding leptospirosis to make a 6-in-1 costs $60–$66.
• Bordetella (kennel cough) is $52–$58. It’s usually required for boarding, day care and grooming.
• The heartworm + tick-borne disease test costs $52–$55.
• A microchip is $36–$41.

Where you live moves the price. Across the store pages we checked, rabies cost $39 in Chicago and Phoenix, $43 in San Jose and Denver and $45 in New York and Los Angeles. Puppy Visit 1 ran from $89 in Charlotte to $109 in New York.

What do Petco’s puppy vaccine packages cost?

Puppies get a three-visit series, sold visit by visit or as one bundle:

Buy the bundle. The three visits bought separately cost $303 in Chicago, $34 more. Every shot à la carte comes to $431, which matches the “Save $162” Petco prints on the Chicago menu.

How much are cat vaccines at Petco?

Cat prices aren’t printed on the store pages we could read. Vetco’s zip-code price pages show them, with two prices per vaccine: the first is the price on its own, the second is the price when you add it to a package.

The three cat packages are Indoor Protect at $95–$99, Outdoor Protect at $145–$169 (it adds the FeLV vaccine), and the All-Age Bundle at $209–$249. Kittens have their own bundle. Our Vetco prices page breaks all of this down by zip code.

Does Petco charge any extra fees?

Three things are added at checkout: Vetco’s $5.99 materials and disposal fee per pet, the rabies license fee your city or county sets, and sales tax. Packages can’t be refunded or changed once bought, and must be used within 4 months. Every package includes a vitals check instead of a full exam. Full exams happen at Vetco Total Care hospitals, not the vaccine clinics, and Petco offers new clients one free first exam (one pet per household). We couldn’t find an official standard exam price.

Does Petco Perks Premier lower vet costs?

Perks Premier costs $24.99 a month for dogs and cats. Petco says it includes unlimited vet exams at participating Vetco Total Care hospitals, but it doesn’t cover vaccines, tests or other services, so it trims the exam part of the bill and leaves the shots alone. It pays off mainly if your pet sees a Vetco Total Care vet several times a year. The dog plan also takes 20% off full-service dog grooms and baths, covered in our Petco grooming prices guide.

Is Petco cheaper than a regular vet for vaccines?

For routine shots, usually. The difference is the visit fee.

A dog getting only rabies pays $44.99–$50.99 at Vetco once the $5.99 fee is added. Banfield’s rabies shot is cheaper ($28.41–$32.09), but it comes with a mandatory office visit of $74.95–$95.95, so the bill lands at $103–$128. Our Banfield price list has the full comparison, and the other clinic chains are under all pet service prices.

A vaccine clinic isn’t a substitute for a yearly exam, though. If your pet needs a checkup anyway, a vet that bundles the exam with the shots, or a Banfield wellness plan, can come out cheaper.
