This is a little outside the box but we used to vaccinate our dogs ourselves, except for the Rabies vaccine. We still had the vet do annual examines but the other vaccines are easy to administer yourself. Our vet was OK with this.

Prices are now increased 2x yr to minimize the sticker shock.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality vet with more reasonable prices?
