Veterinarians may suggest other preventive measures, such as flea and tick prevention, deworming, or microchipping, which can add to the initial expense. Keep in mind that these costs can vary, so it's always a good idea to call ahead and ask your vet for a detailed quote. Being well-prepared financially ensures that your puppy gets the best start to a healthy life.
