I'm moving to where you guys live. Last week Sissy was sick, so I took her to the vet. The vet did blood work, heartworm test and gave us antibiotics=248 dollars. She also mentioned that she needed a dental cleaning and have broken off one of her teeth at the gum line. So she gave us an estimate between 500 and 800 dollars (and mind you the blood work is already done!). Oh, the joys of living close to NYC. Next time I go to my dentist I'm going to tell him there is something he should look into-dog dentistry
