| How much do you pay for a teeth cleaning? Hi! I had both of my girls' teeth cleaned when they were spayed. I made an appointment to have my boy's teeth cleaned. The vet quoted me $800 (!). When I asked him why it was $500 more than he charged my friend when he cleaned her yorkie teeth, he said it was because my dog was a finished champion and he wanted to make sure that everything was done properly (her dog was a show champion too). Needless to say, I am pissed off. How much do you pay to have your dogs' teeth cleaned? |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | So if a dog isn't a finished champion he doesn't care if things are done properly? I usually don’t tell people to find another vet, but this guy sounds like he charges based on what people are willing to pay, and I can understand giving some people a break, but it sounds like he’s willing to gouge you! You're in Canada, so the prices could be different, but I thought $300-500 is common.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Sorry you are being gouged. The fact your dog is a show champion or not, is a moot point in the health of a dog. Find another vet, get a second quote. All teeth cleanings should be professionally done in the best interest of any dog, show or not.

| OK, So I guess it pays to be in a small town in Texas. I think I paid prob 150.00 and that includes blood work. It is so nice to have something cheaper in small town USA. That was couple of years ago and my 2 male are going to get there cleaned and it will prob be even less than a 100.00 a piece without blood work. This is cause I have moved into a even more rural area and smaller town. You could almost take a vacation down here and still have your dog done. Whoa vets bills are high up North! There are some benefits living in rural Texas. |

| Ok so I write like a hick from Texas. Do not watch ballgame and type!! The two dogs will get their teeth clean in a couple of weeks and it will be probably $100.00 apiece or less. Thanks |

| The vet I take the rescues to here in southern Cali charges $150 with bloodwork, but not including extractions or meds.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Wow that's a good deal. The anesthesia is usually what's expensive. Sometimes when they group things you get a break, like a neuter and teeth cleaning.
