So I have a Miniature Pinscher, the little rat pictured here in front of two real dogs:
It is not necessary to lecture or argue on whether my pet should be considered an actual canine please, I've heard it all.
Anyway, he (Guinness) is 6 years old and is scheduled for his second teeth cleaning at the vet. The last one was 2 years ago and cost a little over $300 including the blood work before hard. The blood work is necessary to make sure he is in good enough health to handle the anesthesia that they will give him to knock him out while they do the cleaning.
The vet says that he is in big time need of major cleaning again already (I agree, his back teeth look disgusting). I guess I'm looking at another $300+ vet bill.
Does anyone have experience with this? What are you paying and how often are you getting it done for your dog?
And what type of dog do you have? As small as Guinness is (12 lbs) you'd think it would be a bit cheaper than getting, lets say a actual Doberman's teeth done.
