| A cleaning will range from $150-$500 depending on what is included. Extractions would be extra, but baby teeth removal shouldn't cost too much. As they get older, the need for dental radiographs increases (unfortunately not all vets do them) and more in depth work needs to be done. Prices vary by area, but also by surgical protocol. If the vet is using iso or sevo, monitoring constantly, preop bloodwork, IV/fluids, pain meds, antibiotics it all changes the price. And the ones who don't do radiographs will probably be cheaper, but that may not be a good thing. Opinions are definitely varied about anesthesia-free dentals. I'm not going to say they are bad or don't work, but the experts in the field don't like it for some reasons that I'd consider good ones. I definitely understand anesthesia is scary and some may want to avoid it and that is fine if your vet agrees. but the vets who choose to use it may actually feel that it is best...

This vet is low cost, but is an excellent vet. There are about 3 or 4 vets in the practice and they have 11 examination rooms, and there are always plenty of clients when we go. It is a popular vet clinic.

| I agree that it depends on which region of the country you live in. Many of the vets in the state of Alabama are not out to just take your money. For the most part they are straight up honest. With that said, there is one vet in the town we live in. He is more expensive on everything than other vets within a 50 miles radius. I don't believe him being expensive makes him a better vet. In fact, he works M-F 8-5...you can not call him after 5 for emergencies and he will not come in on the weekend. Our favorite vet is 50 miles away. There are 3 vets in that clinic/hospital and each have their own area of interest and specialty. They are the cheapest!!!! They also pull most of the areas business. With that said, I apologize for "hacking" your thread! I hope your baby does well with the procedure!!

I went to college there and graduated from Troy in 1989. Student taught in Opp while living in Andalusia. Our pediatrician was Dr. Maddox's brother! He always told me he considered his brother a "real doctor"! I am actually from southwest Alabama but was in the wiregrass for 7 years before moving to Birmingham for 14 years. I moved back to my hometown in 2006 to be near my aging parents. Its a small world!!

| WOW!! These prices seem so high. Correct me if I'm wrong, but teeth cleaning costs more than neutering??? Sorry, gotta go, no time to chat...have to brush Rocco's teeth now

| I sure do. I am a member of the alumni association as well as the Sound of the South Alumni Band. I majored in instrumental music education! My oldest child went to Troy his first year of college and was in the band. The next year he decided to move back to Birmingham and go to UAB. I am very proud of the changes that have been made!!

| We go to Vero Beach, to Florida Veterinary League. We have been going there since 2006 when Lil Bit got a bladder stone and the local vets all wanted over $1,000 to do the surgery. A good friend suggested I call her vet (Fl. veterinary league) as they were less expensive than most vets, but they were really good. So, I called them. Had Lil Bit's bladder stone removed and sent for analysis, had her spayed at the same time. Got her microchipped, the two rescue dachsie's I had their vaccinations and the younger dachsie microchipped, and the total was under $600! We asked the vet who did the surgery how he could charge so little. he said it really doesn't take a lot of time to remove a bladder stone so there is no reason to charge an arm and a leg. Beamer had his shots yesterday as well, with the check up it came to $95. Lil Bit had her shots last week and hers was $78 - apparently there is one shot they didn't give her (DA2PPV?) It isn't really close to us, down US1 past HWY 60. But it is worth the trip. They neutered Beamer in April and that was only $70, they also removed the double canines which was $40.

| Some of the prices for dentals and s/n are amazing. Maybe too amazing... Some clinics get grants or are non-prof, etc. If not, then I just don't see how they can do preop blood work, iv, iso or sevo, safe induction drugs, monitoring, hospital stay, pain meds or antibiotics, extractions, and a cleaning for so cheap. And the techs have to be paid. So, is blood work being skipped or is an alternate anesthesia being used? That's what I'd have to be asking if I was quoted anything below maybe $200-$300 for a cleaning.

| Blood work would have been an extra $60. But she just had blood work done last week.
