What age is a senior dental prophy? What age is a senior dental prophy? I just found out from a neighbor that the price goes up when they get older. My dog is 5 1/2 yrs. |
typically its 8 years old for a small dog. The price goes up because they need to do more pre-op testing before they can be put under. That's the way it was when i worked as a tech in general practice. |

They are probably adding wxtra bloodwork and some vets just start doing preop bloodwork when a dog turns seven (scary). IMO, the price should not go up a ton because most of the precautionary testing needs to be done on every dog. |
