Dog vaccination costs: Singapore & Malaysia

Quick answer

Ask for a quote that includes both the vaccine and consultation. The number of appointments depends on your puppy’s age, vaccination history and the vet’s plan. Check travel requirements separately: Singapore’s routine rabies guidance differs from import and export rules.

How much does a dog vaccination cost?

One published Singapore example is VetsNow: S$60 for dog vaccination. Its price page also lists a S$50 consultation. Check whether that consultation charge applies to your vaccination appointment and whether tax or other services are included. These are the clinic’s listed prices, accessed 15 September 2026, not a national average. See the clinic’s price list.

Ask the clinic Why it changes the total
Which vaccine is included? Combination products cover different infections.
Is consultation included? An advertised vaccine price may not be the appointment total.
How many visits remain? Your puppy’s records and age affect the course.
Are any other services proposed? Request separate prices for tests, parasite treatment and microchipping.

What about prices in Malaysia?

We do not have a freshly verified Malaysian clinic quote for this update. Request an itemised RM quote from a clinic in your town using the checklist above. A Singapore price should not be converted into a Malaysian estimate.

How many puppy vaccination appointments are needed?

The Singapore Veterinary Association’s 2020 guidelines describe core puppy doses every two to four weeks, with the final puppy dose at 16 weeks or older. Starting age and the product used matter, so three visits is not a universal rule. Your vet should decide the actual schedule and later boosters. Read the SVA guidelines.

Bring the vaccination booklet, including dates and product labels. Tell the vet about any previous reaction and planned boarding or travel. Do not book extra doses solely because a generic calendar suggests them.

Use the puppy scheduler to prepare questions and dates for your vet.

Is rabies vaccination needed?

AVS reports that Singapore has been rabies-free since 1953. Routine local care and travel requirements are different: check the relevant import and export rules before a trip. AVS rabies guidance.

In Malaysia, confirm the current requirements with your vet and the authorities for your state and council. Do not assume that rules in one part of Malaysia apply everywhere.

What should I bring to the appointment?

  • Previous vaccination and medical records.
  • Your puppy’s date of birth or best available age estimate.
  • Details of travel, boarding and contact with other dogs.
  • An itemised quote and questions about the next appointment.
