Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Holy cow - what did you get him - a whole set of Doggie Dentures with a gold front tooth ?? over a thousand dollars ? That's super high for a dental- It sure sounds like someone is gouging someone (like maybe your insurance company?)

| Whoa! That is a lot of money. Ellie goes to the most expensive vet around and she had dental surgery in January. She got her teeth cleaned and 9 pulled. It cost around $600.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | WOW ...I think your vet is in the market for a new boat and you just helped him buy it. That's very steep for simple extraction - VERY steep. If I were you I'd be calling the vet and asking why they gouged you like that. |

| I was just reading your breakdown and the first thing that looks really high is the lab work. Ellie's cost about $94 which is very expensive. She did not get an echocardiogram. The meds were about the same price. Simple extractions were between $45 and $65 each. I think the actually dental was $105 which included 45 minutes of anesthesia (isoflourine). Every extra 15 minutes of anesthesia was $38. The $600 doesn't include her first office visit/consultation so maybe add another $25.
