Today, I called our Vet out in Hazel Green to find out roughly what it's going to cost to get Emmett his puppy shots. It's a bit of a drive, almost 23 miles one way but well worth it.
We go to: Animal Hospital Of North Alabama
14323 Hwy 231- 431 North
Hazel Green, Alabama
35750
256-828-7474
Dr. Jones and Dr. Hayes are incredible as are their staff.
His puppy shots will be given at 3 weeks intervals.
$55.00 for the 1st visit
$30 for the 2nd visit
$35 for the 3rd visit
and when he's 6 months old $100 - $120 to be neutered depending on his weight.
I won't take Emmett to PetSmart to get his first puppy collar nor will he go for walks until he has had his shots. I'll estimate the size for his first collar and gently start getting him leash trained out in the backyard.
Some puppies do really well for their first time on a leash and I've seen others roll on their back, terrified. I have a good feeling about Emmett and his first time on a leash will be lots of fun not to mention the tasty treats I will reward / bribe him with.
Tomorrow morning we will be visiting Emmett and I will be taking 2 hand towels that I will hold him in to take his scent home to Rosie and naturally take photos.
22 days until we bring Emmett home.
