 Dental Work Needed Badly - What should it cost?
Our wee rescue, Oscar, is the love of our lives these days. He is a real little snuggler and a shadow. He has come a long way since we took him in. The second or third MONTH after we got him we went out for an hour and left him at home locked up in the bedroom where he sleeps; lots of seperation anxiety but came home to NO problems. A couple more months go by and he appears calm. Out we go for an hour or so and came back, having left him loose, to find the pain scraped off the back of the front doors and right down to the wood. What a mess. Well, that problem is gone. He's feeling at home and much more settled.
NOW WE HAVE A NEW PROBLEM. An old problem really. He stinks from the face/mouth. The vet says he needs dental work and that it is going to cost us $600+ to have his teeth cleaned.
Our question for fellow forum members: What should a dental cleaning generally cost?
We have changes his diet to Science Diet ORAL CARE and that has done a lot. He cracks and chews the hard "kibble" with his back teeth and the teeth in general seem cleaner but he obviously continues to have issues. Do all vets charge $600+ to clean a Yorkie's teeth? |
