Default Gigi's dental appointment

I dropped my hungry little girl off at 8 a.m. They called and said she needs three teeth pulled, one of them has exposed roots, something that they didn't notice until they really got in there.

I'm sure that's going to bring my total to over $600. Yikes. But it has to be done.

If I had waited until January, I could have gotten a 20% discount, but I'm so glad I didn't. Poor little girl.

You might have gotten 20% off, but she might have need 3 more teeth extracted, Net/net you saved money and she saved teeth

January and February are cat dental discount months. February is nationwide, but the practice is so busy, my vet extends it to two months. I'm going to bring Cleo and the twins in for their dentals then.

Final cost: $680.

Knowing Gigi's mouth is now healthy: Priceless.

They should give you a discount because of the number of cats you have and diligently take vetted care of! My vet does that to help people out who have larger animal families.. he give 10% or 15% discount on every visit.

I only get a discount when all four have the same appointment. Like if I bring all four in for their annual check-up, or all four for teeth cleaning (like that's going to happen). At my last place, I did get the 20% discount because I had four cats, but I'd rather pay more and have my current vet. Plus, my current vet gave me lots of breaks, financially, when I was unemployed, and especially when Cinderella became ill.
