I will love to learn how you do it. After Ally had her teeth cleaning and 4 teeth extraction, I was given the toothpaste (looking thing) and tiny bruch (looking thing). It is from C.E.T. I just do not know how to start it!!! I have three kitties so it will be good if I can brush them all to prevent further complication. I do appreciate if you can post the instruction and the frequency you bruch your babies. Thank you so much for your help and time in advance

Very lucky. I think it depends on location. Where I live, even at the SPCA the lowest it goes is something like 300 for a basic cleaning - nothing else. Like Marie said, a lot of the cost is in paying for the work of the anesthesiologist. Add in blood work, x-rays and a few extractions and you're looking at over a 1,000 when taxes are added in.
