Getting your dog’s teeth cleaned by a vet in Singapore is like signing up
for a luxury spa day—for your wallet’s nightmares.
Dental scaling by a veterinarian costs anywhere from S$300 to S$800 due to the blood tests and anesthesia.
Back in 2023, I took my dog for his first scaling, and it costs S$600! It's not like I'm bedazzling his teeth with diamonds🙄.
Then, a friend let me in on a secret: groomers can do dental scaling without anesthesia or those pricey pre-anesthetic blood tests for just S$150!
But here’s the catch: groomer scaling, aka Non-Professional Dental Scaling (NPDS), is like getting your dog a quick teeth-brushing TikTok tutorial.
Vets warn it’s too superficial and might miss serious dental drama lurking beneath the gumline.
Since my dog is still quite young with generally clean teeth (the vet said no yearly cleaning needed!), I’m sticking with the groomer’s bargain deal.
Why splurge when the cheaper option still gets the job done? I’d rather save my cash and get him more treats (I’m sure he’d agree).
But if your dog’s teeth are looking like a haunted graveyard, maybe let the vet work their magic before things get too ruff.
