| Core vaccines (distemper, parvovirus, rabies) | Required by law or strongly recommended; often bundled. | $20–$50 per vaccine, varies by clinic |
| Lifestyle vaccines (Bordetella, leptospirosis, Lyme) | Optional but important for dogs that board, hike, or swim. | $25–$60 each, varies |
| Exam fee | Some clinics charge a separate exam; others include it. | $30–$75, varies |
| Puppy/kitten vaccine series | Multiple visits for boosters (e.g., DA2PPC at 6, 10, 14 weeks). | $100–$250 total, varies |

Goodrich Veterinary Clinic offers spay/neuter for dogs, cats, and pocket pets. Prices are not published online; call for a quote. Below are general cost drivers.
| Factor | Why It Matters | Typical Range |

| Dog vs. cat | Dogs are larger and require more anesthesia and surgical time. | $150–$400 (dog), $50–$200 (cat), varies |
| Weight of pet | Larger animals need more medication and monitoring. | $50–$100 additional for heavy dogs, varies |

Pet Vaccinations in Omaha: What Shots Does Your Dog or Cat Need?
Knowing which vaccinations Omaha pets require helps you plan. Core vaccines are essential; lifestyle vaccines depend on your pet’s activities. Below is a quick reference for dogs and cats.
| Pet | Core Vaccines | Lifestyle Vaccines | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dog | Rabies, DA2PPC (distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, parvovirus, coronavirus) | Bordetella (kennel cough), leptospirosis, Lyme | Rabies: annually or every 3 years (law varies). DA2PPC: puppy series (6, 10, 14 weeks), then 1 year, then every 1–3 years. |
| Cat | Rabies, FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia) | Feline leukemia, Bordetella | Rabies: annually or every 3 years. FVRCP: kitten series (8, 12, 16 weeks), then annually or every 3 years. |

Goodrich Veterinary Clinic follows AVMA guidelines and tailors vaccine schedules to your pet’s age, health, and lifestyle. Bring your pet’s vaccine history to your appointment so we can update it.
DA2PPC vaccine
The DA2PPC vaccine is a multivalent shot for dogs that protects against several viruses: canine distemper, canine adenovirus type 2 (which also shields against the more harmful type 1), canine parvovirus, and canine coronavirus. The 'C' stands for coronavirus, but this is not a core vaccine and is often left out. Puppies usually receive this series at 6–8 weeks, 10–12 weeks, and 14–16 weeks, then again at one year and every one to three years after that. It does not cover Bordetella, so if your dog boards or visits dog parks, you may need a separate Bordetella vaccine. Knowing your dog’s DA2PPC schedule helps you keep them protected from common contagious diseases.
