I had Peanut's teeth cleaned last March, but she was spayed at the same time and the cost was $520. I just made an appointment to have her teeth cleaned again and the cost is $165. OUCH! Is this about average? I really like my vet and feel comfortable with her since she is familar with Peanut, but this just sounds expensive to me. How often does everyone have their dogs teeth cleaned? Toby does not have teeth issues, but Peanut has death breath which dramatically changed with the last teeth cleaning. Also, how often does everyone brush their Yorkies teeth? I only brush Peanuts once a week, and I think I would lose a hand (or some fingers anyway) if I brushed Toby's. LOL!
