"How much does cat or dog vaccination cost these days?" — a question that comes up constantly in Jakarta pet owner groups. The honest answer: it varies. The range can differ widely between a small clinic on the outskirts and a premium clinic in South Jakarta, and again for a house call service.
This article gives you a realistic picture of vaccination costs in Jakarta in 2026, plus tips so you don't get hit with sticker shock at the till. The numbers below are general estimates based on market observation — always confirm the actual price directly with your service provider.
Hidden cost components most owners overlook
Many new cat or dog owners are surprised when the vaccination bill is bigger than expected. The reason: they only counted "the vaccine price." In reality, the components of a vaccination visit usually include:
- The vaccine itself — varies by type and brand
- Consultation / exam fee — a physical exam is mandatory before vaccination
- Transport fee (for house calls) — depends on distance
- Optional add-ons — deworming, vitamins, other treatments
Some clinics bundle everything into one price; others itemize. Always ask for a full breakdown when booking so there are no surprises.
Cat vaccination cost in Jakarta 2026
Core cat vaccines
- Tricat / Tetracat (FVRCP or +Chlamydia) — roughly Rp 200,000 – Rp 400,000 per shot
- Rabies — roughly Rp 100,000 – Rp 250,000 per shot
The price range depends on vaccine brand (Nobivac, Felocell, Purevax, etc.), clinic tier, and area. Clinics in South Jakarta and Central Jakarta tend to be more premium than those on the outskirts.
Full kitten vaccination package
Kittens need a 3-shot series (Tricat 1, Tricat booster, Rabies). The total cost of a full kitten vaccine series usually runs Rp 700,000 – Rp 1,300,000, depending on vaccine choice and venue.
Annual booster for adult cats
Annual boosters usually only need 1–2 shots (Tricat + Rabies). One booster visit total: Rp 300,000 – Rp 650,000.
Dog vaccination cost in Jakarta 2026
Core dog vaccines
- DHPP / DHPPi (4-in-1 or 5-in-1 combo) — roughly Rp 250,000 – Rp 450,000 per shot
- Rabies — roughly Rp 100,000 – Rp 250,000 per shot
- Lepto (Leptospirosis) — roughly Rp 150,000 – Rp 300,000 per shot
Full puppy vaccination package
Puppies need a 3–4 shot series (DHPP, DHPP booster, DHPP+Lepto+Rabies). The total puppy vaccine series from 6 weeks to completion usually runs Rp 900,000 – Rp 1,800,000, depending on vaccine type and clinic.
Annual booster for adult dogs
Annual booster: DHPP + Rabies (+ Lepto if at risk). One booster visit total: Rp 400,000 – Rp 850,000.
Exam and house call visit fees
Before vaccination, the vet must perform a physical exam to confirm your cat or dog is healthy. Vaccinating a sick animal can actually be dangerous. The exam cost components:
- Clinic exam fee — roughly Rp 75,000 – Rp 250,000 (sometimes already included in a vaccine package)
- House call visit fee — roughly Rp 100,000 – Rp 400,000 depending on distance and area in Jakarta
For house calls, the transport fee is usually flat per visit — so the more animals you vaccinate in one visit, the more efficient the per-pet cost.
Total estimate: clinic vs house call
For a typical annual booster on one adult cat in Jakarta:
- At a clinic — total roughly Rp 350,000 – Rp 700,000 (vaccine + exam)
- House call — total roughly Rp 500,000 – Rp 1,000,000 (vaccine + exam + transport)
The price difference is the transport fee. But what often goes uncounted: your lost time on the trip, fuel/parking/Grab costs, your cat's stress in the carrier and waiting room, and the risk of exposure to other clinic patients.
For large dogs or multi-pet households, a house call is often actually cheaper overall because one transport fee can cover several pets at once.
How to save on vaccination cost without compromising quality
1. Bundle multiple pets into one house call
If you have 2–3 cats or dogs, bundle their vaccines into a single house call. You pay the transport fee once, and the per-pet cost drops significantly.
2. Vaccinate together with neighbors or close friends
Some owners in the same complex or neighborhood organize "group vaccination days" — the vet comes once, several owners in the same area vaccinate on the same day, and the transport cost is split. This works well for pet owner communities in hard-to-reach areas.
3. Check bundled packages from clinics or house call services
Many providers offer bundled vaccine + dewormer + health check packages at a better price than buying items separately. Just ask when booking.
4. Stay consistent — don't end up restarting the series
Sticking to annual boosters is cheaper than having to restart the vaccine series because you slipped more than a year. Set a reminder on your phone for one year after the last vaccine.
5. Pick an experienced vet over the cheapest one
A vaccine given with bad technique, poor cold-chain storage, or wrong timing can simply fail to work. The small price difference for a vet who consistently maintains quality is well worth it compared to having to vaccinate again because the first shot didn't take.
FAQ
Does the Prabasavet vaccine price include the transport fee?
For transparency, our service fees are usually broken out: vaccine price per type, vet exam fee, and visit fee based on your area. When you WhatsApp us with your area and the type of vaccine needed, our team gives you an upfront total estimate before the visit. No hidden fees.
Is it cheaper to vaccinate several pets at once?
Yes. Because the transport fee is paid once per visit, the total per pet works out more efficiently when you vaccinate multiple animals together. This is a popular choice for multi-cat households or homes with both cats and dogs. Mention the number and types of pets when booking so we can give you an estimate.
Is a more expensive vaccine always better?
Not necessarily. What matters most is that the vaccine is properly stored (cold chain maintained until injection), not expired, and given by an experienced vet with the right technique. More expensive vaccine brands sometimes have formulation advantages (e.g., fewer reactions, broader strain coverage), but a standard brand used correctly still provides solid protection.
Wrap-up
Vaccination cost is actually a cheap investment compared to the treatment cost if your cat or dog catches a disease that was preventable. Treating parvovirus in a puppy can run into tens of millions of rupiah — while a full vaccine series is under two million. Easy math.
