ParticipantHow old is he?
Teeth cleaning is always something to be considered when dogs go under for another procedure. But it’s rarely a necessity for younger dogs, and even for older dogs, it’s not always required. It’s a pretty standard upsell that vets do, and you shouldn’t feel obligated. You’re not dismissing your dogs needs if you skip it.
If your vet pushes it, make him/her show you why your dog needs it. Sometimes they really do.

ParticipantVet said dog is about 5 years old. He has always had bad breath since we’ve had him. I just kind of accepted that, until last week when one of his teeth fell out and then I did a little research. By the way the tooth that fell out had lots of tartar build up. So I have no doubt that he “really!” needs his teeth cleaned. What I’m not sure about is does he really need to be castrated? I mean how many men would get a vasectomy if it involved castration? Not many would be my guess.

ParticipantTeeth cleaning is good, esp for small dogs as their mouths are structured differently and they have more problems.

Good decision. Millions of dogs are put down every year because they don’t have homes. There is no shortage of dogs. He’ll be better behaved and healthier. And he won’t try to escape every time a dog in the neighborhood goes into heat. And he won’t knock up the neighborhood slut dog.

GuestWill the Vet let you keep your dog’s testicles in a small clear jar?

OMG!!! These are real!!!!
I seriously thought this was a joke, but looked it up, and they are REAL!
A video of a procedure with a neuticle. No kidding…do not watch if you are queasy (I almost passed out trying to watch it). Probably not safe for work or in front of kids.
People are crazy!

I agree. My parents had dogs my whole life. I’ve had dogs for 25 years. Haven’t cleaned their teeth once.
