I did not opt for the plan that includes spaying yet because I wasn't sure if I was going to breed her or not depending on her size, but I will be upgrading to that one now because she is just way too small at 9months and she has stopped growing. I believe that plan is about 5 or 10 dollars more a month and includes everything for the spay (anesthesia, surgery, etc.) The puppy plan does not include a dental cleaning but the plan for adults does include that. Dolce will have to have 3 extractions of her baby teeth and they are 67.00 a tooth before my discount, not bad at all. I have used a local vet clinic in the past for our family dog when I was younger and they were just as good and WAY more expensive. Actually, our vet at Banfield spends more time answering my questions and ALWAYS calls me at least once a month to see how Dolce is doing. They will even answer mhy questions on the phone. I think each Banfield might be different depending on where u are and who the vets are at ur location but here in AZ I absolutely LOVE my vet clinic.

$67 a tooth??? Wow! My vet is highly respected in CA and he only charged me $15/tooth plus he did a cleaning that I did not ask for and did not charge me and her teeth are still sparkling white 8 months later. In addition clipped Uni's nails while she was till under for her spay. 10% off $67 is not a good deal.
