I see the owner's comment and had to note that it's a blatant lie. The quote was for "upwards of $1200". I'm not making that number up. It was not just for a cleaning and included, according to Dr. Bonder, x rays and at least two and possibly more necessary extractions of rotten teeth (which is why the price was only starting at $1200 and could have gone up on the final bill if more teeth were deemed irreparably diseased). Why would I have been relieved to pay $400 (incl. cleaning, anesthesia, xrays and extractions) at another vet if you quoted me $360? Such unbelievable bullshit...
P.S. my cat had the dental surgery at the other vet a year ago and is in perfect health now :)
