I have no comment on the price, but dental cleanings are very important for dogs. Dental disease is often a silent source of significant pain for dogs. Anesthesia is necessary because dogs won’t sit still for the cleaning.

They used to charge $600 for the service.

The way I found out about them being owned by a PE group is that a friend, who is a radiologist (like for people,) took his dog in and they needed to do an xray. Cost: $500.

What he gets paid for doing a similar study ranges from $6 (for medicaid patients) to around $50.

He asked them directly about being owned by PE and they fessed up.
