Re: Does this price sound right?
My senior cat with seizure disorder just had a dental. The dental procedure was $150 USD and included antibiotic, anesthesia, IV fluids and the cleaning. He only has a few teeth left, but they don't charge by the tooth.
The Estimate before the procedure was $250 USD, that was to cover things he might have needed such as extractions, x rays and pain meds, which he did not need this time, thankfully.
The blood work was not included because he gets blood work every 4 months, and had just had it, but I would not allow a cat of mine to go under anesthesia without blood work first, regardless of the procedure.
A blood profile that covers everything is currently $109 USD, which for a healthy cat who does not get blood work regularly would have put the dental full cost at $259 USD.
