Thanks in advance.
Our cat just turned 4 years old. Based on previous assessment and advice from different vet, it would be best interest for the cat to do dental cleaning. We have decided to do it soon and had a few candidate clinics. Since we don’t have any experience regarding dental cleaning, we appreciate your advice for choosing the clinic. Previous assessment shows only tartar build-up along the base of some teeth, not likely there will be extraction.
Candidate 1:
A small family owned clinic which has been operating for more that 20 years. The doctor and owner is a nice old guy. We had been there once for vaccine. The clinic is fairly old, not sure about the equipment for dental cleaning. They charge 400 for the cleaning, even include extraction.
Candidate 2:
A state of art all in one cat hospital and resort. We had been there for emergency(urine track blockage) and regular vaccine. The staff are nice. Not sure about their dental equipment, however, should be fairly new. They charge 800 for cleaning only, and extraction extra.
Since the process involves anaesthesia which could have some risk, just wondering whether the facility and dental equipment will play a big role here? Any suggestion for choosing dental clinic? We want to do the best for our cat. Any advice are greatly appreciated.
