n September 2018, I took my two dogs to Amber Oaks Vet Hospital to have both dogs' teeth cleaned. Both dogs are 12 yrs of age, the vet requiring a blood panel on dogs over 8 yrs of age. Although this vet clinic may have "state of the art" equipment, I believe $722 is a tad pricey for the teeth cleaning of two dogs: one 3.5 lb yorkie and one 5.1 lb Pomeranian (one tooth extraction per dog). My dogs have had teeth cleaning done at this facility in the past, but I never paid more than $250 per dog. I live nearly 30 miles away from Amber Oaks and have been taking my dogs there for teeth cleaning since moving here. But after checking into the cost of teeth cleaning at veterinary clinics located closer to my area of town, I will not be going back to Amber Oaks: other vet clinics charge on an average $175 for teeth cleaning, which includes anesthesia, nursing care, and pre-medication; whereas, Amber Oaks' fees are $130 for teeth cleaning, $64 for anesthesia, $21 for nursing care, and $26 for pre-medication for a grand total of $241. The cost for blood workup at a highly recommended veterinary clinic in Oklahoma City is $64, whereas Amber Oaks' blood panel lab fees total $130. Hence, Amber Oaks charges 30-50% more for teeth cleaning. I have had my dogs' teeth cleaned at veterinary clinics in other states as well; all work has always been performed professionally. The only difference is in the costs of teeth cleaning, and I do believe that what Amber Oaks Veterinary Hospital charged me for teeth cleaning is a huge ripoff! Read Less
