| Dog Dental Service
I was looking for a vet that could clean my dog's teeth.
How much does the service generally cost?
Do they have to be put under?
Preferably Vancouver area

Depends on dog but most dogs have to be put under
My vet @ Killarney medical center does it, I think I paid around $3xx last time. Since then I just get my dog lots of chew toys/dentasticks and try to brush his teeth biweekly

It's better to be sedated imo because you never know if the dog will feel the pain or not. I dont think dental work can be as effective without sedation as well.

Yeah, I'm just worried how my dog is going to do under sedation.
Hes about 12 years old and never needed vet treatment.
So this is his first time, a little bit nervous for him

Speak to your vet about that because there might be some complications at that age.

No, there's no other reason for the dog to be sedated when getting their teeth cleaned. Are we sedated when we go to the dentist?
I'm sure it's uncomfortable for the dog, but if it really hurts they will squirm.
BTW the place I suggested actually insist that you stay for the first part of the cleaning. The lady wants you to see while she explains what she's doing.

1. Sedate my dog and work on his dental and possibly face health complications (senior dog thats never had surgery)
2. Leave his teeth and face fatal problems like liver and heart failure
I will probably go with option 1..Thoughts?
Also does anyone have a recommended vet they trust?

Any reputable vet should have blood work done prior to sedating a senior dog
I take mine to Edmonds St Animal Hospital and my gf takes our other dog to Hastings Veterinary Hospital.
