I had to sit down in the vets when I picked up my dog - £247 for a scale and polish, no extractions etc. Seems rather a lot and I refused a blood test which would have been an extra £47 and felt really tight about it.

 

My other dog only cost £120 at the same vets (8 years ago) - am I really out of touch, what do you pay?

erm I dont know, but we do a healthcare scheme thing at the vets - £47 a month to cover Labrador, 3 moggies and 2 bunnies. for that we get 'free' vaccinations, flea treatment and all kinds of health checks as and when required. then we get a 10% discount on dental work, neutering etc - basically routine things.

That seems extortionate to me . Did they have to use anaesthetic? Even so, that seems an awful lot . Could you ask for a breakdown of the costs - it might make more sense then?

Our cat a few yrs ago had extractions and clean under General anaesthetic and it was about £200 I think. Insurance doesnt cover it. She is has about 3 teeth to her name and her and her brother were rescue cats are about 7 now and both have shocking nashers. In future I want to see their teeth before I adopt any more animals. Its shocking that insurance does not cover. Its not like they are going for veneers or whitening is it? Now theres a thought

Crikey that seems an awful lot

 

My cat had eight teeth removed and the rest cleaned up (she was a rescue cat) for £120
