| Hello and Welcome to Y.T......I'm not sure if I' understanding, do you mean your pup has some retained baby teeth?.......If so that is quite common. A lot of people will have those removed at the same time as a spay/ or neutering so the pup will only have to be put under anesthesia the one time..... If your talking about just a cleaning that will very quite a bit by your location and the vets fees....Here, the cost is approx. $200-300, you have to inquire if that includes pre-blood work. It is recommended to have that done to see if any underlying issues are going on where putting them under would be problematic. Also,the fee will generally go up for each extraction (one vet charged approx. $9 for each extraction)...... Good luck.....

| I recently paid $450 which included the pre-op blood work and removal of a couple of baby teeth.

Wow! I'm only about 1 hour SW of where you live, I had my Maddie's teeth cleaned in April and it was less than $200, including the pre-op blood work. She didn't have any baby teeth removed, a couple were removed when she was spayed. You should bring your baby to the country next time you need a dental!! The head vet at the clinic here has some kind of certification that a lot of vets don't have and a lot of people come from quite a distance to bring their animals to him. | |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I think it varies from region to region. In San Diego, I had Sam's teeth cleaned and it ran me over $300. I had it done again here last year and it was right around $200. And his teeth were just as beautiful despite the cost difference

| I had my 13 year old lab/terriers teeth clean last month for less than $200, so it does look like the cost depends on what area of the U.S. you live in. That cost did include the pre-op blood work. They also look great! |

| I had Kaji's teeth cleaned for less than $100. It was non anesthetic so there was no need for pre-op blood work or putting him under. He had lots of tarter on his teeth and they returned a happy wiggly puppy to me with pearly white teeth. I really like the service.

| I know it's a lot of money. Unfortunately, everyone else I spoke to here said it was about the same with their vets. My little guy is only three! 6 months ago the vet looked at his teeth and said they were fine. Now he needs to have them cleaned. I definitely have him on a brushing schedule now, I really don't want to put him under to have this done. A non-anesthetic way to clean their teeth? How did they do it? Is it a new treatment, or were they able to clean your babies teeth without him fighting it? |

| To tell you the truth, I would pay the 500 dollars just to NOT have my guy be put under. I really hate the idea of having this done. |

| I do not like the idea of having them put under for teeth cleaning either. I think it's just a way for the vet to get more money. I used to raise and train greyhounds for the track and I cleaned all of their teeth myself with no anesthetic. I put them all on an antibiotic after cleaning just in case. I need to have Deucy's cleaned again. It's been 8 months and that was the ony time he needed them cleaned. I do NOT want him put under but, how do you tell a vet that? If you read my posts about BAD VET in KS, you know all about my history with vets around here. i
