Dentistry - you know the drill

§ February 15th, 2010 § Filed under Saving Money § Tagged , , § No Comments

In an effort to be a more responsible cat owner, I decided to get our two kitties a dental cleaning.  Some feline tooth scaling.  How much could it be?  My own dental cleanings run around $90 so I figured a cat has a smaller mouth but there’s an anaesthetic (I wouldn’t want to ask kitty to open wide).

I called around.

First vet.  $700 and up per cat.   Yikes.   I wonder if that includes a polishing.

After an email to a friend of mine, I found out she paid $260.  Her cat was 14 and she figured she was loaded with plaque before she went.  It was $200 for the scaling and $60 for the anaesthetic.

Call around to lots of vets.  There is a difference in price.
