Am now looking for anesthesia free cleaning for dog. Am aware this is available and quite inexpensive. This estimate is outrageous and was given only after I questioned the front office. I would have been shocked when picking her up because no amount was volunteered.

Had dental less than 2 years ago. Tech said tarter came off easily and his teeth were in great shape. Love my vet, but feel overcharged. Price included blood work and antibiotics - no extractions.

This price included only anasthesia and teeth cleaning. Blood work had been done on a previous visit. I was told the cleaning went well and there were no hiccups. She was kept from 9 - 5. This Vet is usually pretty reasonable with his prices, so I thought this was a bit too high a cost.

This seems very high to have her teeth cleaned and a baby tooth removed. $130 for cleaning/polish. $12.50 for the extraction. Not so bad. But all the extras, $70 for blood test, $51.50 for ECG, $22.60 Torbugesi inj. another $21.10 Torbugesic syrup. And $6.50 for a flea treatment when she doesn't even have fleas!

I was quoted $441-613 for just a cleaning, not including the four extractions of his puppy teeth he requires. I figured $175-225, but $400-600 AND it's recommended to be done every year!!! I haven't accepted this yet. I wanted to make sure I wasn't getting jacked. I've been with this vet for over 12 years.

Was quoted $600 with pre-screening blood work - Declined that and they came back with $350 - Declined that and found a mobile dentist who travels throughout the country - NO DANGEROUS ANESTHESIA USED. As a bonus, my dog's infected tooth "popped" out during the cleaning & NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR THIS! Check various pet stores for this mobile pet service and save big $$$.

including teeth cleaning, blood test, and anesthesia. They gave us a free bag of Hill's prescription dental food.

This is after Dental Discount(20% off) that they had. Includes the medications. The reguler price for dental cleaning is about $230 with ansthesia and IV.

pre-anesthetic profile with dental cleaning (canine prophy)

This also includes a pre screening to check organ functions before anethesia, meds, ect. I feel very confident that they charged what was needed to do the surgery.

I was very happy with my service, my 10 year old Border Collie's teeth were very bad and they did an excellent job. The cleaning was $209.95(included in this price was blood work, IV fluid, flouride treatment, & antibiotic injections) and $50 was for 10 days of Clavamox.

8 year old Rat Terrier had teeth cleaned with the use of anesthesia. All teeth were intact and in good shape. We traveled to another town approximately one hour away because of the cost involved. Our home town wanted over $ 500.00 to have the same work done.

This price seems excessive to me. She needs one extraction of a broken tooth plus cleaning. Comments please.

I did not get a pre quote and was shocked to get a bill for 400 dollars for each bichon.But after seeing 900$ here that seems inexpensive.However the 9 pound dog is still woozy after10 hours afterwards

This price includes teeth cleaning, 2 canine and 3 small extractions, after treatment antibiotic,oral hygiene rinse, and ear cleaner.

I thought it seemed like an awful lot to pay until I came here! 29.95 for the office visit, 23.68 for the anti-inflammatory injection, 189.58 for the dental prophylaxis canine package, and 4.85 for the medical waste disposal fee. My boxer's 2 years old and this is his first cleaning.

This quote is for 2 extractions and teeth cleaning. For our 13 yr old cat to have her teeth cleaned estimate was almost $700. I am afraid we are being overcharged for both of our pets and should probably go elsewhere.

I just got an estimate for my Lab's teeth cleaning and the extraction of a single molar. . .it's 3 times more than I payed to get my own tooth extraction!! Cepra 500mg-$46, 1 x-ray-$90, 2nd x-ray-$70, 2 injections-$48, catheter-$78, IV-$45, sedation-$55, General anesthesia-$255-305, Teeth cleaning $125, 1 extraction-$45, hospitalization-$20.

when i dropped my dog off to have his teeth cleaned today the Vet Clinic had an itemized bill in the amount of $711. There were several items on the bill besides the actual cost of the cleaning, i did not want to purchase the items. I asked the Vet to please try to reduce the bill of which she did, but two hours later she called and said that a small piece of gum needed to be removed and that would cost another $45... i have brought family and friends to this clinic as customers and i'm insulted that they would charge me this much for my "small" dogs teeth cleaning. I won't be able to afford to clean my other small dogs teeth at this time.

I was quoted $735 last week when I called my veterinarian office. At Thanksgiving they wanted to charge me over $900, which I refused. In 2006, I paid $280 for dental and in 2004 I paid $180 for dental cleaning. I received a coupon in the mail for $20 off from another veterinarian office and they quoted $226 which I scheduled an appointment. This extreme difference in cost has prompted me to do further research on the cost of health care for dogs. Our dog is now eight years old. I am glad I found this web site!

First time teeth cleaning for 9.5 yr old Lab. Included some pre-op blood work, fluids, IV cath, induction & intubation, anesthesia, nursing care, dental kit and $90 discount for Feb Pet Dental Month. Dog's teeth were not that bad according to vet nurse.

We've always been pleased with the work that our vet plus his techs do for both of our dogs.

5 yrs. old/ 1st time cleaning; Pre-anest. blood work - $47.00; dental scaling & polishing - $270.00; Ginigival mass removal - $ 40.00; pathology - $105.; meds - $33. (Does not include sealants).

10 yrs. old GERIATRIC CLEANING $250.00, EXTRACTIONS X 4 plus extra work $168.00, HOME MEDS $36.00. I felt that I had let my pet down until it was explained that most of the teeth damage was under the gums. Overall, very pleased with fees and care provided.

YIKES! 1st time getting her teeth cleaned (she's 7 years old). Needed 4 extractions plus pocket treatments.

The quote includes: Dental Stage I&II Large dog:$199, CBC (blood test):$60, Vetscan Prep Profile:$77, Catheter IV/Fluids: $119, Preanesthesia: $108, Isoflurane Gas 1st hr: $165, Gas Addtl 30min: $91, Hospitalization 6 hrs: $65, Polyflex: $48, Buprenorphine $69, Oravet Home care kit: $36, Dental kit: $18

Overcharging and not supportive of payment plan after being a lifelong client.

Our Maltese's teeth cleaning was overdue, and his teeth got bad so 5 teeth needed to be extracted. The total vet bill was $350 -- $70 for injections, $160 for the Ultrasonic Teeth Scaling and polishing, $90 for 5 teeth extraction, and $30 for the take-home meds.
