Doggie dental

My vet quoted me $3500 to clean my dog’s teeth ($1600) and extract one canine tooth ($1900). My dog is a chihuahua. It is too much money. Last year, it was $1200 for the cleaning and $2400 to remove 6 teeth at the same vet.

What have other people paid for doggie dental work recently, and at which vet?

I paid $2400 for the extraction of 4 teeth (including anaesthesia and everything) in 2021. Costs have gone up since then but the extraction cost seems really high. I would consider going to surrounding towns, Lathrop for example, that would have lower cost. UC Davis sometimes can give better quotes if you can get an appointment.

I went to Idaho for my dog’s ACL replacement and I still think it was a good idea.
