She went ahead and dabbed a long brush head with paste and wiped it on both insides of his mouth....and thats it... I waited there for a few more seconds and she started filling the sales receipt... I was so zapped I couldnt ask her "thats it"....all she took was about 5 seconds and I paid $11 for that.
Is this right or what or did i miss something here? |
Does your puppy have any retained puppy teeth, this could be causing the bad breath issue.
You can do the teeth brushing yourself.....go online Revivalanimal.com order C.E.T Vanilla Mint Tooth Paste and a rubber finger tooth bursh until he gets use to the brushing and then graduate to the regular tooth brush....Brushing his teet 2 to 3 times a week can help keep tarter down. There is also C.E.T chews that has enzymes on them that keep the tarter down.
I see that you live in the L.A. area. There are some vets that do non anesthetic teeth scaling....for a fraction of the cost of their regular teeth cleaning........
PetCo is a rip off for any grooming that they provide. Everything they do is additional.....
