| Petco - Teeth brushing...ripoff ? I have never brushed SPRINKLES who is now 9 plus months old.. and I have never done grooming at PETCO for that matter. Wife mentioned its better to brush his teeth soon as he has bad breath problems in past few days ...so i took him to local PETCO and the lady said they charge $11 for that... She went ahead and dabbed a long brush head with paste and wiped it on both insides of his mouth....and thats it... I waited there for a few more seconds and she started filling the sales receipt... I was so zapped I couldnt ask her "thats it"....all she took was about 5 seconds and I paid $11 for that. Is this right or what or did i miss something here? |

You can do the teeth brushing yourself.....go online Revivalanimal.com order C.E.T Vanilla Mint Tooth Paste and a rubber finger tooth bursh until he gets use to the brushing and then graduate to the regular tooth brush....Brushing his teet 2 to 3 times a week can help keep tarter down. There is also C.E.T chews that has enzymes on them that keep the tarter down. I see that you live in the L.A. area. There are some vets that do non anesthetic teeth scaling....for a fraction of the cost of their regular teeth cleaning........ PetCo is a rip off for any grooming that they provide. Everything they do is additional.....
