How Much Does It Cost To Get A Dog Teeth Cleaned

Introduction

As a vet and dog owner, I have a deep understanding of the needs of all types of dogs. I’ve pet-sat my family’s first dog, an energetic golden retriever named Zoey, since she was just 6 months old. Since then, I’ve had multiple dogs and cats come through my home as clients of my pet-sitting business. I’m familiar with the needs of every type of dog (and cat) from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, Yorkies to mastiffs.

The cost of having your dog’s teeth cleaned can vary based on how healthy your dog’s mouth is and how long the procedure will take.

If you have a healthy dog with no cavities or periodontal disease, it’s likely that you’ll be able to clean their teeth at home. The American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS) has recommendations for what types of products should be used when cleaning your pet’s teeth at home, such as:

Water
Toothbrush designed for dogs (no human toothbrushes!)

Your vet may charge for some oral exams.

If you’re concerned about the cost of the dental procedure, talk to your veterinarian and see what they recommend.

The good news is that most vet offices have a number of payment plans available. This way, you can get your dog’s teeth cleaned without paying an arm and a leg upfront. But as with any financing plan, there are fees associated with it—so be sure that this is something that works for you before signing on the dotted line.

Some vets may even want to sedate your dog if they don’t feel like your pet will be cooperative.

If your dog is not cooperative, it can be more difficult for your vet to clean their teeth. This can lead to issues like uneven gum health and periodontal disease. Some vets may even want to sedate your dog if they don’t feel like your pet will be cooperative during their dental cleaning.

This is a good option for dogs who have health problems that make it difficult for them to have their teeth cleaned, such as a weak immune system or diabetes.

If this sounds like a good option for you and your pet, talk with your vet about how the sedation process works and what kind of sedative will be used on your pup.

If a tooth needs to be pulled, you’ll have to pay an extra fee which can range from $25 to $120 per tooth.

It’s worth noting that if a tooth needs to be pulled, you’ll have to pay an extra fee which can range from $25 to $120 per tooth.

If your dog doesn’t have any cavities or other issues with his/her teeth, this procedure should cost between $150 and $200. If your vet finds any problems with your dog’s teeth, the price might increase.

You might also have to pay an extra fee if your vet finds any other problems during the cleaning.

For example, if your vet finds any other problems during their cleaning, you might have to pay an extra fee.

Also, if the vet discovers something more serious than just plaque and tartar, you could be looking at even more money. For example, if they discover that your dog has a tumor or infection deep in her gums and teeth that is causing pain for her every day life—and that it’s expensive to fix—you may have no choice but to pay up.

A professional dog teeth cleaning is a good investment in your pet’s health

The average cost of a professional dog teeth cleaning is $50 to $75.

Although it might seem like a lot of money to pay for something that you can do at home, there are several reasons why it is worth it:

Preventing gum disease and tooth decay
Longer life span for your pet

If you want the best quality care for your dog, then having them go to the vet’s office every six months for their dental checkup is the safest option.

Now get out there and make sure your dog’s teeth stay clean.
