This is a pet peeve of mine. Price varies dramatically, both regionally and locally.

My estimate was a range from 550 to 1,100. When I asked why such a wide range, she said, Oh, we have to do that. Higher range is just for a lot of extractions and your pup's teeth don't look too bad.

Well, evidently she was wrong, because they ended up pulling 7 or 8 teeth and charging me 1,100. I know it's important and she's due for another cleaning, but, for crying out loud, is it really that tough to pull 7 or 8 loose Yorkie teeth?
