My feline only vet (whom I love) is no longer doing dentals at her practice. She's referring them all out to a veterinary dentist who charges--take a deep breath and hold onto your wallet--$975.00! That prices includes a $75.00 office visit fee plus $125.00 for the pre-anesthesia blood work.
I understand that specialized care is more expensive, so if we were talking about extractions or a kitty root canal I'd be more accepting. But $975.00 to just scale and polish a cat's teeth? That's highway robbery, especially when you consider that I have three cats and they weren't willing to offer a multi cat discount. Plus, I brush my cats' teeth every night so it's not as if they have mountains of tartar.
My vet charged $350.00 which I though was high enough, but after calling other local vets the cheapest I've found was $485.00. I was wondering, just out of curiosity, what your local vets charged when your cats underwent dentals.
Thanks!
