Are greedy? Vets make very little money compared to their debt load. They are NOT doing it because they are greedy.

Dentals include anesthesia, dental instruments, staff to clean, vets to examine.

How much does it costs to get your teeth clean without insurance?

Client bullying is one of the top reasons vets are killing themselves.
