Vetco Prices 2026: Dog & Cat Vaccine Costs by ZIP Code, Fees & Total Care

Vetco vaccination price pages for each ZIP code, as shown in Google results on 11 September 2026. Rabies license fees and sales tax are extra.

Most people will land somewhere in the middle. Chicago’s Petco clinics charge the Stillwater, Oklahoma prices; New York and Los Angeles charge the Bronx prices. Store-by-store dog prices for those cities are on our Petco vaccination prices page.

Why does the price depend on your ZIP code?

Vetco’s own page still describes “lists for both East Coast and West Coast”, but the prices no longer split that way. There are at least five tiers, $2 to $10 apart, and they don’t follow the coasts: Oak Harbor, Washington sits in the middle, and Stillwater, Oklahoma is cheaper than Boston. The Puppy Bundle alone shows six different prices, from $249 at a Hampstead, North Carolina store to $299 in the Bronx.

A few ZIP codes return no prices at all (Amarillo’s 79109 did when we checked), usually because there’s no clinic nearby.

What is the second, lower price on Vetco’s list?

Vetco’s price pages show two numbers for most single vaccines. The first is the à la carte price; the second is what the same item costs when you add it to a package. The lower price only applies with a package, so it isn’t a member price.

Item	27540	74075	98277	02135	10469
Rabies	$37 / $34	$39 / $36	$41 / $37	$43 / $39	$45 / $41
5-in-1 (dog)	$44 / $40	$46 / $42	$48 / $44	$49 / $45	$51 / $46
FVRCP (cat)	$49 / $45	$50 / $45	$51 / $46	$52 / $47	$53 / $48
FeLV (cat)	$47 / $43	$48 / $44	$49 / $45	$50 / $45	$51 / $46
Feline 4-in-1	$75 / $68	$76 / $69	$77 / $70	$78 / $71	$79 / $72
Feline triple test	$60 / $54	$62 / $56	$64 / $58	$66 / $60	$68 / $62

The saving is $3 to $7 per item, which matters when you’re adding a rabies booster or a triple test to a cat package anyway.

How much are cat and kitten vaccines at Vetco?

Cats get their own set of packages:

Kitten Visit 1 (8+ weeks): FVRCP and a dewormer, $99 to $115 in the four ZIP codes that showed it.
Kitten Visit 2 (12+ weeks): $125 to $139.
Kitten Visit 3 (16+ weeks): a vitals check, rabies, FVRCP, FeLV vaccine and a dewormer, $125 to $145.
Kitten Bundle: all three visits, 2 to 4 weeks apart, $249 to $289.

For adult cats, Indoor Protect covers a vitals check, rabies, FVRCP and a dewormer for $95 to $99. Outdoor Protect adds the FeLV vaccine, at $145 to $169. The All-Age Bundle spreads rabies, two FVRCP and two FeLV shots over two visits for $209 to $249.

The choice between them is mostly about feline leukemia. Indoor Protect skips the FeLV vaccine, which is the right call for a cat that never goes outside or meets other cats, and it’s much cheaper. Vetco prints savings of $21 to $34 on Indoor Protect against buying the same items separately.

What extra fees show up on a Vetco bill?

$5.99 materials and disposal fee per pet, per Vetco’s price pages.
Rabies license fees set by your city or county, plus sales tax.
Package terms: no refunds, substitutions or changes once bought, and a package must be used within 4 months.

There’s no exam fee at the vaccination clinics. Each package includes a vitals check instead of a full exam.

How much is a Vetco Total Care exam?

Vetco Total Care is the full-service side: hospitals inside Petco stores that do checkups, vaccines, dental work and surgery. Vetco doesn’t publish an exam price. Customers on r/petco have reported paying about $70 to $85 in 2025; treat that as a guide, not a quote.

New clients get one free initial exam for one pet, once, at one location. It can’t be combined with Petco Perks Premier or other offers. Surgery and dental work need a vet consultation first and can’t be booked online.

Vetco clinic or Vetco Total Care?

Use a vaccination clinic if your pet is healthy and just needs shots. It’s cheaper, but it runs by appointment, mostly on weekends and some weeknights, and it can’t diagnose or treat anything.

Use Total Care for a checkup, a sick pet, or anything beyond routine prevention. You can walk in, book online or call, and existing CareCredit customers can pay over time. Petco also offers to split vet bills into four interest-free payments.

Which discounts work at Vetco?

Pet insurance holders save 10% on every Vetco Total Care and Vetco vaccination clinic visit (U.S. News reports this is for Nationwide policyholders).
Petco Perks Premier ($24.99 a month for dogs and cats) includes unlimited vet exams, but only at eligible Vetco Total Care hospitals, and not the shots themselves.
A NexGard Combo rebate for Perks members runs from 30 August to 31 October 2026: $10 off 3 doses, $25 off 6 or $60 off 12. NexGard Combo is a cat product, so this is a cat-owner saving, not a vaccine discount.

For dogs, compare these prices with Tractor Supply’s PetVet clinics and PetSmart’s ShotVet clinics in our dog vaccination cost comparison. For store-level detail on Petco’s dog packages, see Petco vaccination prices.
