 $580-$1480?!
I took Nicco to the vet today to get his vaccination and during the general exam, the vet found that his teeth were pretty bad. I have tried to brush his teeth in the past but he just does not let me! I have been buying him dental treats which he has been chewing on but I really didn't think his teeth were this bad until the vet pointed it out today. She said he needs a cleaning and he has one baby tooth that has not come out yet (he's 2 and a half years old) and she said it would need to be pulled out. She also said that she would not know if he needs extractions and if so, how many he would need, until they are in the process of the surgery. She quoted me anywhere from $580-$1480 saying that it would most likely be on the higher side ($1000+!!!) That seems quite expensive to me for a simple teeth cleaning and pulling of one tooth?! This is my first dog so I have not experienced this before. Any insight will be greatly appreciated! |
