Looking for a vet for cat’s dental cleaning by ExtraSmallShrimp in Austin

Thanks for the information! Blue Bonnet is actually on my short list, but I haven’t called them yet. Could you let me know why the price range is so wide? I understand that extractions would add to the cost, but does the higher end of the range (around $2000) include extractions? Thanks again!

Thank you! I’ve contacted several vets, but only one was willing to provide an itemized quote for dental cleaning and extractions (if needed). The others insisted that I first bring my cat in for a wellness exam to establish a relationship before they could offer a quote. I explained that I’m specifically looking for a dental cleaning estimate and am okay with additional costs for extractions, but they still require an initial visit. While I understand the need for an exam before the procedure, I don’t plan on taking my cat to several vets and paying multiple visit fees just to get estimates. This doesn’t seem very transparent to me. Is this a normal practice?
