How much should it cost to have a small dog's (yorkie) teeth cleaned under anesthesia?

depends on the vet and clinic. The vet I work at charges $85-115 for the teeth cleaning depending on the severity of plaque build up etc. We charge $14 per extraction, $35-75 for bloodwork depending on the age of the animal. If teeth are pulled the dog will get an antibiotic injection for $20, pain injection $20 and take home pain medication for $10-20.

Prices vary depending on location and probability of complications (ie she's needs to have one removed or has an infection)





I would guess, in a not-too-rich-area suburban vet it would be around $150-250... again, depending on location it could be as cheap as $100 or as much as $500
Reply:It costs 65$ to have my little Chihuahuas teeth cleaned we live in AZ so it may differ where you live.
Reply:The cost will differ from city to city, and withing cities by vet.





Does your dog have to be under anesthesia for teeth cleaning, or could the tech scale them? It does depend on how old the dog and how bad the problem, but I would ask the vet about a scaling option, it's less expensive. However your dog has to be able to let the tech clean her teeth without trying to eat the tech :])





Make sure after your dog's teeth are cleaned, whichever way, you provide her with bones to chew to keep those teeth clean!





Rawhide's ok, but RAW beef rib bones are awesome. My dogs are 8, 9, and 10 years old and their teeth are immaculate because of the bones. Never cooked bones - they get brittle and splinter. Raw can be chewed and ingested with very little problem.





Best wishes.
