I agree that usually you get what you pay for....I have seen people get really cheap dentals and surgeries done and it scares me for their pups. There is no way a vet can short cut on things like that....and I believe that most anesthetic deaths occur due to improper supervision (which requires more employees the vet must pay for) and/or outdated anesthetic protocols.

It is always good to compare prices....but it is important to know if the quality matches.

Absolutely true but not always so easy to find out. So the moral is try to find out in advance of need....
