Cat Teeth Cleaning Cost - Buyer Experiences and Price Information

No disclosure of cost at initial annual health care visit, nor on phone when making dental appointment. Upon arrival, "sticker shock"... for one cat's dental cleaning... $200 for exam and blood work. $550 for cleaning and anesthesia. Extractions are extra (if needed). I feel 'hoodwinked'.

I do this yearly but one kitty didn't need it this year. Thank you raw virgin coconut oil. It helps with plaque reduction and is good for their digestion

Had to make an appointment for a free check up. Took the cat to be examined. Was back in lee than 2 minutes with estimate. Two pages of cost and "IFS". I don't believe they looked in her mouth.

Dental scaling,Standard CBC,anesthesia for 2 cats

Sticker shock! Took our 15 year old cat in for a well check. He had a broken tooth. Estimate for dental appt was about $300. Just walked out after spending $500+ for dental cleaning and extraction of 3 teeth. Ouch! Now have a second cat, his 15 year old brother, feeling the "bite" of extremely expensive procedures for old cats :(

I'm very lucky to live where I do. We have a clinic that only cares for cats. My cat had to get all his side teeth removed. He also got shaved and nails trimmed. All of it cost $420. The dental cleaning is $95 if everything is healthy!!! I can't believe what others have to pay!!!

16 yr old cat, with blood work, Wilmette IL. 3 extractions under anesthesia and antibiotics and painkillers. 2 xrays.

Quote for regular cleaning = $810. If an extraction is done, cost is $40 per minute, up to $486 for 40 minutes, total $1,381. This includes 12 hours in their hospital, and full blood work. I have 3 cats, and absolutely can't afford this.

I feel better about the cost after coming here. My cat had 2 bad extractions that took a long time. So - bloodwrk, xrays, 1.5 hrs of anesth, gum repair were $400 and the cleaning was $100.In looking at bill, cleaning would have been $350 for cleaning alone.

I'm in the SF Bay Area so I guess that's about what it costs. Unbelievable.

I was given a low end quote of $405.00 and upward end of $700.00 and had to sign a consent form. My cat is 14 years old and just had dental work done 2 years ago at $400.00. Vet insurance doesn't cover anything and they slid micro chipping in the quote too. Love my cats, but goodness, who can afford it?? (Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I too love my cats)

Vet wanted $600 for blood work and radiographs. Before any dental work is even done. 12 yr old cat needs several teeth extracted, won't eat and developed heart trouble as a result. Outrageous.

My vet quoted me $800 for a regular cleaning (including anesthesia). I don't have the money so I've started trying to brush my cats teeth. I really like my vet but I'm thinking of shopping around for this procedure (since prices seem to vary).

I'm in shock comparing the cost I was quoted by my vet vs what I'm seeing on here. I am in the process of finding a cheaper option, as I am unemployed. My vet has no payment plans and I can't get insurance on this b/c it's a pre-existing condition. I'm going to see if there is a medical school with a vet program, that is supposed to be cheaper...we'll see.

I was just at our vet and he said it's time to have our cat's teeth cleaned. He quoted me an estimate of $959. Quite frankly, my jaw dropped.

$70 for the pre oral exam visit.mthen they gave me an estimate that was from $450-$1250. I agreed hoping it wouldn't be at the higher end of the estimate but prepared nonetheless.nthe. They called me while my cat was UNDER ANESTHESIA And told me that actually it would be $1600 because it was really bad and they had to remove all of his teeth. When I went in for the pre surgery visit I specifically asked what the worst case scenario would be and how much that would cost. Of course they did not tell me anything about having to maybe take out all of his teeth and it costing me way more than their estimate. I had no choice and had to pay it. I have yet to find a vet that isn't a complete crook or doesn't totally take advantage of pet parents.

I was dumbfounded when I read some of the quotes and amounts spent for a cats teeth cleaning cited on this website. I always knew that my vet was the best and had a lower cost than most, but not hundreds of dollars less. I'm thinking that I'm glad I live in Texas, for this reason and many many other reasons!

Took both my cats in so bill was $800 ($00 each) - sheesh! but I'm glad they gave me the dental month discount or it could have been $900 ($450 each) . Guess it would have been slightly (very) cheaper if they didn't need antibiotics to follow-up. $400 each seems to fall within normal range though. Note: this is Feb 2015 but system year only goes through 2014.

I was quoted $125 but the vet. dr. wasn't sure! There is a 3 month wait to have this done. Meanwhile I asked for advice in the meantime, and she merely, said to start cleaning the cat's teeth and just take the risk of getting bit!!! OMG. I think $125 is alot but compared to what Ive read, this sounds like a bargain. Debating to get this done since I cannot afford it!

Here in central Connecticut $180 for exam and bloodwork. $500 for cleaning and anesthesia. Extractions, etc are extra.

11 year old healthy cat - vet wants to do teeth cleaning on her. Vet is charging between $750 - $1600 for teeth cleaning. No problems, no serious issues with cat's teeth, no extractions! I am appalled! Living on Social Security and Medicare simply cannot afford this! I live in New Hampshire. Tried to ask vet to lower costs due to limited income and she refused. Thots,pls!!! Sincerely, Melinda

this amount included-oral examination, anesthesia, dental fluid therapy set-up(?),scaling and polishing, recovery monitoring, hospitalization, dental X-rays--multiple views, pre-anesthetic sedation, Telazol sedation, DexDomitor, Torbugesic 10mg/ml injection. I thought this was high but apparently not.

To oexpensive for what they did. Cheaper for Adults to have the same thing.rnNow my sweet Lizzie has some type of respiratory infection, she has no energy and is sneezing frequently.
