RHD2 Vaccine - Hertfordshire

Hello All

My vet, Medivet in Watford, has just got this vaccine in, and is charging £55 for it (twice yearly). From what I can see on other threads this is rather expensive! Has anyone in Hertfordshire (Watford or surrounding area preferable) found a vet who is stocking this and, if so, what is the cost? Thank you. :wave:
 
Wow - that is a lot. I used to work there in my early years of vet nursing!!

You could maybe try contacting Nine Lives Redbourn - 01582 793636 - not sure if they're within travelling distance

I can imagine they'd have it in and it'd be a reasonable price. They are brilliant there. They're exotic specialists but are often 50% cheaper than Medivet.

I'm really surprised at that, as the Medivets in London are charging less than my 'normal' vet for neuters and vaccinations.

Good luck with finding an alternative :wave:
 
I had mine done at medivet watford last week & im sure wasn't that much, can't find my receipt but I'm sure mine came to about £56 and I paid £11 (ish) for something else also.

I thought it was only once a year, shows how much I know. My bun hadnt been vaccinated for over a year due to being poorly, felt almost pointless as he's indoors (obviously I realise it isn't).

I think it's a moot point whether you vaccinate once or twice in a year. It's supposed to be twice yearly in high risk areas - difficult to know where they are until too late, I suspect.

Also the data sheet isn't clear about the 'booster' after 6 months as it just says that the duration of the vaccine is 12 months .. :?

One of the receptionists rang and told my husband it was £55.00, which I thought was rather steep!
 
it does seem alot. our vets charged £21 if a nurse gave it, or £32 if the vet did it. and we have been advised once a year for it :wave:
