Hi all,
Just wondering approx how much you've paid for a teeth cleaning for a dog or cat? We have a 9yr old dog, and a 12yr old cat (both recently adopted). We've been told their teeth need a good cleaning.
An approximate range would be great, as I know it depends on the condition of the teeth etc.
Secondly, if anyone can recommend a vet for teeth cleaning around Sydney, that would be amazing. We're based in Northern Sydney, but happy to travel for something affordable!
Thanks in advance.
They're both on the small size. $200 seems great - I've heard it's much higher than this!
$200 is quite modest, but vet will need to grade their teeth first. If it's gotten bad, expect to pay at least twice that.
If you find a vet that does it for $200, book it in straight away.
From what I understand, animals need a GA to have their teeth done properly (they can still bite under sedation as I found out from trying to give my sedated dog a hair cut).
I'd imagine GA alone would cost at least $200, especially for an older animal (if not more).
My vet charged about $400 for a scale and clean for my otherwise healthy cat. There probably are cheaper vets, but do the savings justify sending your fur child to someone you don't know?

My cat had his teeth cleaned last year for $500. Most vets should be able to do this.
What condition were your cat's teeth in? And how old are they? Ouch at $500 though.
Cat was 8yo. Had plaque on his teeth - don't know how bad it was though.
My other cat also had his teeth cleaned at 8yo a few years ago and had to have a tooth removed as well. I think the total was about $600 then.
I'd ask at couple of vets. The prices aren't going to vary that much I wouldn't think.
Got a 5 year old greyhound 28KG teeth descaled as well as 3 teeth removed cost $780 - not cheap
Around $300 for a pug here.
Take your nonhumans for a drive to visit vet out west to save hundreds of dollars.
have you talked to the RSPCA to find out their price? Our vet has us cleaning our cats teeth to stop the tartar building up.

$0, I don't feed my dog crap like kibble and canned food which cakes on their teeth and gums and causes plague and disease.
And I give him bones every second day, his teeth and gums are perfect.
There is no reason why your dog should ever need their teeth cleaned.
Have you ended up going somewhere, and can I ask where?
They would need to be sedated, so budget around $200 per animal. But depends on size as the sedation is based on weight
