Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I got a quote for Pfeiffer recently bc she has one retained baby tooth that wasn't there at her spay. From 3 different Vet offices, my quote was $1200+. Not cool.

Jubilee had one retained canine. I gave her raw bones, bully sticks...and wiggled it with my finger and it came out on it's own.

| Just had 3 yorkies and 1 biewer's teeth cleaned. They also trimmed their nails. My vet sedates them. No anesthesia is used. When I went to pick them up, I was afraid of what they were going to charge me. I was pleasantly surprised, $40.00 each! Their teeth look beautiful and white and there's a definite improvement in their breath!

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I don't know why, honestly; I know vet care here in Phx is the most I've ever paid, by far. Now that I think of it...I think the spay was cheaper. Isn't that weird? The quotes are from my regular vet and then I got a quote from 2 other offices as well. Ridiculous!

Yorkie Talker | Petzlife is used without the toothbrush and my dogs love it. Check out the feedback on it. It works pretty good if you don't have years and years of plaque build up and if so you better buy a scraper and do it yourself little by little. the Petzlife oral care loosens that plaque up. The part I like the best is their breath smells a whole lot better yippeee. I cost 30 buck in store and about 10 to 15 on ebay. Good luck all with your dogs teeth. My yorkie girl attacks the toothbrush and tries to brush her teeth herself with that stuff on it. Salmon oil they like the best.

No because there'd still be way too great of a risk of the vet or tech getting bitten (probably even more so if they were under mild anesthetic because they'd get scared and clench their jaw). Unfortunatly pet dentals are expensive because of everthing that goes along with it - IV, bloodwork, etc. As a formor vet tech who has assisted in MANY dentals - it's HARD work and takes a really long time. The time alone (cost of anesthesia and paying a tech by the hour) is a large part if the cost even for just a cleaning. Start to finish (from bloodwork and IV placement to recovery of the pet and clean up of the work area) you are talking about 2 hours time and if there's extractions, longer - we had a 4 hour dental on a 7 year old german shephard once . If our pups would open up and say "ahhhh" it would be sooo much cheaper LOL. Brush brush brush those teeth

| I've heard horror stories around here of $700 for a cleaning. At our last visit, Lucy's teeth looked good (I'm guilty of not brushing); so the vet recommended Oravet. This is a waxy-like substance you put on their teeth to prevent plaque. She HATED IT and wasn't herself for 2 days! I think she hated that waxy feeling on her teeth. Vet said it was made for humans but they didn't like it either . . . so marketed it for dogs. I think I'm going to have to try brushing. I don't want to put that stuff on her any more.

And not only is the tech's time being paid for by the client, but also another tech/assistant monitoring the pup, and the vet who has blocked that time in case something goes wrong/and if extractions are needed/and to do the dental exam, etc. And it takes a looooong time to put in charges and do discharge papers and update the owner.

Mine didn't like Oravet the time I tried it either, plus I personaly think it's more of a pain than brushing - you have to dry the tooth off first etc. ugh forget it lol
