| Posted by: dgorgo in Staunton, VA. | Posted: December 18th, 2018 03:12PM | | At abode or at veterinarian'southward office: | Cost: appx 900!!(w/o extractions) | These veterinarians are outrageous with their prices. They tell you to take skilful car of your animals, get their shots, lab work, etc. However, exercise they remember we are all millionaires? Teeth cleaning and extractions are ridiculous. How can a person afford to have this procedure washed! And, for an older cat, it is very risky. Information technology is no wonder why people tin can't afford to give their pets good medical care. It is very deplorable. Vets are interested in the almighty dollar ONLY and they make you lot feel guilty if you don't have the procedure washed |

| Posted by: Ann Heatherton in Saugus, CA. | Posted: March 31st, 2017 x:03AM | | At home or at veterinarian's office: Vet's Office | Price: $624 - $800 est. | My cat is 10 years old and sometimes drools claret. No tartar on teeth, just gums are red and can bleed. This condition has been ongoing all her life, and she won't open up her mouth for wiping or brushing at habitation. The quote (from Saugus
Animal Hospital, Saugus, CA) of $624 to $800, more if extractions are needed, is typical of vets in Los Angeles area. Plus there is an initial vet appointment ($50) and blood piece of work ($$?) before surgery is scheduled. I can afford to pay this, but I experience bad for the folks that cannot and for the poor kitties who need it simply can't get dental care and suffer pain and suffering. |

| Posted by: Rocko10 in Tucson, AZ. | Posted: Feb 24th, 2017 08:02PM | | At home or at veterinary'south office: Vet's office | Cost: 471-890 | I was surprised to run across the estimate for the dental work. I should have researched prices beforehand, but I'yard relieved to hear that it's inside range. Turns out my cat had some early signs of gingervitis so they gave him an antibody shot. Bloodwork was done too and there's some business concern on his results regarding his kidneys. So, they gave me a urine collection kit (no actress price). Pretty absurd that she was worried about it and I got a baggie of dental kibble and tooth brush and paste sample. Just like a human dentist! My cat was being too rowdy when I was there then I was in a hurry to get out, but I think he got the best intendance he can get for now. Hopefully his kidneys are fine, so I don't have to worry nigh his health and affording information technology. The vet gave some communication on what it could be and the diet changes to brand, so I'll exist looking into that. |
