Description of service

A couple of months ago my children were playing with my cat, i'm not actually sure what they were doing (i got several differnt stories) but my kids knocked out one of our cats teeth. The cat was screeming and crying so we ran him to the vet. The vet wasn't able to put the tooth back in, but he did treat that tooth's area, and the rest of the teeth as well. The total cost for the visit was $125, which included pain killer for the busted out tooth, and treatment for all of the other teeth.


Review of Service

The service was fine, we had no problems at all. The vet we use is very good at taking care of cats and making sure that we are happy as well. He even gave us a tooth brush and special cat tooth paste to help keep up the care of our cat's teeth. We will continue to use the same vet becuase he is always fair with the price.


Tips

Picking a vet is a lot like picking a doctor. You don't want just anyone taking care of part of your family, and that includes your pet. Call around and go to different vet offices to find one that you are comfortable with. One thing we did learn was that the cat really didn't need to go to the vet for a knocked out tooth, it would have healed on it's own.
