Costs of Pet Dental Cleaning
The cost of pet dental cleaning varies depending on several factors, including:
- Location: Urban areas tend to have higher prices than rural areas.
- Veterinarian: Specialized veterinary dentists may charge more than general practitioners.
- Pet size and breed: Larger breeds or those with specific dental needs may require more extensive procedures.
- Anesthesia: Some veterinarians use general anesthesia, while others may use sedation or local anesthesia.
On average, you can expect to pay:
- $70-$300 for a basic dental cleaning without anesthesia
- $300-$700 for a dental cleaning with anesthesia
- $700-$1,500 or more for complex procedures, such as extractions or dental surgery
