[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow these prices are crazy. I had no clue it cost this much. I see why people do not spay or neuter their animals. [/quote]

[b]Teeth cleaning too. It's always over 1k and vets want it done yearly.[/b]

A spay is a very invasive procedure, but a neuter isn't. I've seen some dogs get their balls removed, but others just have the tube cut (similar to human's vasectomies).[/quote]

Really? Mine just had it done at 5 years old for the first time to clean off some tartar and do some xrays to get a baseline and it was about 375. Granted, thay was for a clean bill of dental health, would have gone up from there if they had found problems. Vet said probably good to go for another 5 years unless there are obvious issues that crop up.  This is a large dog though and I understand small dogs are more prone to dental problems but every year seems like a lot![/quote]

Vets do push it annually. I think like with humans, teeth condition is part genetic and varies widely based on diet, care, and other habits. I had a dog live to almost 16, weeks only had his teeth cleaned 3x and he never had significant problems and he never needed any extractions. We didn’t brush his teeth but we did stock to dry food and he was a big chewer which may have helped. His teeth did always looked incredible after the cleanings, though, and his breath was definitely better! I just couldn’t justify the expense at the time.[/quote]
