My vet wants $200! Do you know where I can get one cheaper?

I live in S Jersey , but can easily drive to PA or DE.

$200 is cheap and i'd take him up on it. When i had morgans done a year and a half ago it was $300.

Oh boy. I was thinking $200 was high. Why does it cost so much? Their mouths are small. I could see charging that amount for a big dog with big teeth. These guys are tiny.

Though the mouth is smaller they still require all the same things as a big dog. catheter, fluids, drugs, anesthesia, machines to monitor vitals, dental tools and products, and drugs to go home with. Plus the vet and the tech that preform the dental and monitor the patient before, during, and after the procedure.

that makes sense since they are under anesthesia

Hey I am near you!( I am new to the area) I actually have a request in for a quote for teeth cleaning for one of my yorkies. I'll let you know what they quote me. I would definitely call around to get diff quotes.

how many times do you have to take them to get an official dental cleaning?

$200 is pretty cheap - here on LI you can pay $500+ (especially if they have to extract). We are on the Banfield Veterinary Wellness plan so it is included (pay $340/year for everything - shots, exams, dental... and they have unlimited free office visits, discount on all medication). If you have a Banfield near you (located inside Petsmart stores) you should look into their services. Our vet is wonderful and we have saved $1,000's (I have 5 yorkies).

FYI - as the pups get older they need the dental yearly.

bonbon · 08-17-2009, 09:46 AM

February is pet dental health month. Most of the vets around here offer 50% off dental services for the entire month.

please let me know

Wow that is really cheap.
My vet charges $425.00! Outragious I know but in NY vet charges
are off the wall. That's why I swear by petzlife in hopes Buddy
will never require one.
Those charges were two yrs. ago.

MyTrixie143 · 08-18-2009, 10:09 AM

I just got Brownie's teeth cleaned and it cost $380.
What I can't figure out is why is it so expensive to get the teeth cleaned yet spaying and neutering can be done much cheaper?

Carl · 08-28-2009, 09:46 AM

Its almost time to take Rusty again, I'll let you know what they charge us this time.
