I go really easy on vets and their pricing but that is way too high. Ellie just got her teeth cleaned while she was spayed and it was $165 plus $97 for bloodwork and the anesthesia wasn't included. It would've probably been less than $350. Ellie had oral surgery in January. This included bloodwork, anesthesia, pain meds, antibiotics, xrays, cleaning, nine adult extractions, Oravet... and it was about $600 and we go to a higher priced vet. A couple hundred of that was probably for the extractions.

Anyway, if your Yorkie has any oral problems at all (beyond needing a cleaning) please get the oravet. It does get pricey but Ellie has done great with it. It is supposed to help reduce plaque and I think it might actually work. If you decide to go with the oravet and they give you an eight week supply, you can actually spread it over 16 weeks (vet recommended it) because there is enough in one package for a large dog, so Yorkies don't need the whole thing. That way it's cheaper.
