PetSmart Vaccination Clinic Prices & Schedule
PetSmart vaccination clinics provide accessible preventive care for dogs and cats through partnerships with providers like Banfield Pet Hospital and ShotVet.
This article details current prices, available vaccines, booking options, and how to find schedules at local stores.
Key Points
- PetSmart vaccination clinic prices range from $20-60 per shot, with packages like ShotVet’s $143 adult bundle or Banfield’s $30-50 monthly.
- Schedules feature weekend pop-ups via ShotVet and daily appointments at Banfield in-store hospitals.
- You’ll need up-to-date vaccines for PetSmart grooming, boarding, and training services too.
PetSmart Vaccination Services
PetSmart doesn’t directly administer vaccines but hosts in-store hospitals and pop-up events.
★ Banfield operates full-service vets in over 1,000 PetSmart locations, handling routine and booster shots as part of wellness visits.
★ ShotVet runs weekend clinics at select stores, emphasizing low-cost, no-appointment-needed options for quick vaccinations.
Both prioritize rabies, distemper, and other essentials based on pet age and lifestyle.
What Vaccines Are Available?
For Dogs
Common vaccines include DA2PP (distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, parvovirus), Bordetella for kennel cough, leptospirosis, Lyme disease, and rabies.
- Bordetella This is the kennel cough vaccine. If your dog spends time around other dogs at boarding facilities, dog parks, or groomers, this one is highly recommended.
- Leptospirosis Important for dogs that spend time outdoors, near water, or in areas with wildlife. Lepto is a bacterial infection that can also spread to humans.
- Lyme disease If you live in a tick-heavy area or take your dog hiking, this vaccine is worth discussing with the vet at the clinic.
If you’re booking a grooming appointment, your dog will need proof of current rabies and Bordetella vaccines before the salon will accept them.
For Cats
Cats usually receive FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia), feline leukemia (FeLV), and rabies.
➤ Every cat should get FVRCP, even indoor cats. These diseases can spread through indirect contact, so staying home doesn’t make your cat fully safe.
➤ Rabies is required by law in most states for cats too, not just dogs.
➤ Feline Leukemia (FeLV) is recommended for cats that go outside or live with other cats. It’s a serious virus with no cure, so early vaccination is the best protection.
★ Puppies and kittens follow a series starting at 6-8 weeks, with boosters every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks.
★ Adult pets get annual or triennial boosters depending on the vaccine and local laws. Vets assess needs based on exposure risks, like outdoor activity.
PetSmart Vaccination Clinic Prices
PetSmart vaccination clinics are run by ShotVet, and their prices are pretty reasonable compared to a full vet visit.
Here’s a general idea of what individual vaccines cost:
- Influenza around $44
- Rabies (1-year) around $26
- DA2PP (distemper combo for dogs) around $39
- Bordetella (kennel cough) around $39
These prices are for individual vaccines, so if your pet needs multiple shots in one visit, the costs will add up. That said, it’s still usually more affordable than scheduling a full appointment at a private vet clinic.
Packages provide discounts:
ShotVet’s Puppy A bundle
- Includes DA2PP and deworming
- Price: $67
Four Paws adult package
- Includes rabies, DA2PP, deworming, heartworm test
- Price: $143
Banfield’s Optimum Wellness Plans start at $30-50 monthly, covering unlimited vaccines, exams, and diagnostics without extra charges.
➤ For pet owners who visit the vet frequently, this can add up to real savings over time. Instead of paying per visit, you’re spreading the cost across the year.
Banfield has clinics inside many PetSmart locations, and costs can vary depending on your region. What you pay in one city might be slightly different from what someone pays in another.
Regional variations apply, so use Banfield’s online price estimator or ShotVet’s site for exact figures.
Expect $20-60 per vaccine at walk-in events.
How to Find and Book a Clinic Near You
ShotVet runs vaccination clinics at participating PetSmart stores every weekend, typically on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
➤ That weekend schedule is a big plus for most pet owners. You don’t have to take time off work or rush during a weekday to get your pet vaccinated.
Search for events on ShotVet’s clinic finder by ZIP code.
Banfield requires appointments, bookable via the Banfield app, phone, or their website.
Hours match store times, usually 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays. Walk-ins may be available for ShotVet but pre-purchasing packages online speeds the process.
Check your local PetSmart for specific dates, as schedules adjust for holidays or demand.
Why These Clinics Are Worth It
Traditional vet visits can get expensive quickly, especially once you add up exam fees, vaccine costs, and other charges. PetSmart clinics through ShotVet offer individual vaccines at much lower prices, making it easier to keep your pet up to date without breaking the bank.
Benefits
- One-stop solution for pet supplies and veterinary care.
- Lower costs make preventive care more affordable.
- Vaccine bundles can save 20–50% compared to traditional vets.
- Banfield Pet Hospital wellness plans include extras like dental cleanings and lab work.
- Quick access to vaccines helps meet boarding and travel requirements (e.g., rabies proof).
If you’re planning to use PetsHotel for overnight boarding, you’ll need current vaccination records on file before they’ll accept your pet.
What to Know Before You Go
Bring pet records if available.
Puppies under 16 weeks need multiple visits for full protection. Rabies is legally required in most areas, with fines for non-compliance.
Arrive early for pop-ups to avoid lines. Pets must be leashed or crated. If your animal shows illness signs, seek a full exam instead. For emergencies, contact a 24/7 vet, not clinic events.
ShotVet vs. Banfield: Which One Should You Use?
If you just need a quick rabies shot or a single booster, ShotVet is the easier option. No appointment needed, show up on a weekend, wait in line, and you’re done in under 30 minutes. The pricing is transparent and you pay per shot or per package.
Banfield makes more sense if your pet needs ongoing care. Their wellness plans bundle vaccines, exams, dental cleanings, and lab work into one monthly payment. For puppies or senior pets that need frequent vet visits, the plan usually pays for itself within a few months. Check for active PetSmart promotions before signing up, since Banfield occasionally runs enrollment deals.
