| $326.00 teeth cleaning!!!! When I got Sophie two years ago, she was in need of a dental cleaning. I had it done and she did not need any extractions. Now just 2 years later, she had to get 9 extractions. Her breath was terrible, so I took her to the vet and they said she was grade 4-5 dental disease! I am so surprised that it happened so fast. I feel so bad. I am starting a dental routine for all 3 girls now.

| Aww, poor Sophie. A very good reminder to practice good dental hygiene. I'm working to do a better job on the back teeth.

| I feel really guilty. Hope my mistake will inspire others to brush!

| I just got an estimate from my canine Dentist and a dental cleaning with no extractions was $361.00...each...and I have 3 My dentist charges $65.00 to clean my teeth...I know he doesn't have to put me under or anything but come on...$361.00 is a bit pricey...and that's with no discount for multiple cleanings. |

| That price included the pre-op testing, IV line, intubation, anesthesia, cleaning, extractions, etc., right? I think that is about what I am charged for Tibbe's but he doesn't have extractions now as I have been brushing his teeth for almost 2 years. You can do it - just make it part of your daily routine and they get used to it, too.

| All of these prices look to be well within what is an acceptable charge, especially if they include blood work and xray. Ellie's oral surgery (with 9 extractions) was $600.

| Is there a way to 'twilight' them so they are relaxed during a cleaning rather than put them completely under? Seems that would be safer for the dog and cheaper for the owner. I understand putting them under if they need extractions but it seems there should be a better way to do just a cleaning. |

| Man! I am feeling like I got off cheap now! Poor Sophie still paid tho. I wish there was a better and easier way to care for their teeth.

Some of the drugs that put them most of the way out but where they are still slightly with it - not all safe. Gas anesthesia is definitely a good way to go.

| $288.00 for two yorkie cleanings! My vet's office is running a "special". $99.00 dental. If you want an IV, it is an additional 45 dollars. They are really promoting good dental hygiene! So both of my baby boys (they are a year and a half old) went in. Beautiful clean white teeth now! (They were only a grade one) I tried the Tropiclean religiously for a month prior to the cleaning, because it was supposed to dissolve the plaque. Did not work! So I've recently switched to Biotene. Results to be determined. Anyway, my best advice is to put their toothbrush and toothpaste in your bathroom. At night, when you brush your teeth-brush theirs. I love it! |
