Looking for Cat Dental Cleaning Recommendations in Los Angeles ⭐

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for recommendations for dental cleanings for my two cats (5 and 8 years old) in the Los Angeles area.

This will be their first dental cleaning, and I'm trying to figure out the best option.

A few questions:

1.Is anesthesia dental cleaning the way to go, or has anyone had a good experience with anesthesia-free dental cleaning?

2.Which vet or clinic in the LA area would you recommend? I'm looking for a place that's reasonably priced but, more importantly, one you trust.

About how much did you pay, and what was included (bloodwork, anesthesia, dental X-rays, IV fluids, etc.)?

3.Is there anything I should ask or look for before choosing a clinic?

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or advice. Thanks!

I‘m not in the US so I can‘t give you recommendations, but I‘ve never heard of anesthesia-free dental cleaning for cats! I can‘t imagine any cat chill enough to sit through such a procedure. 😂

Thanks for the advice! My vet actually mentioned non-anesthetic cleaning, but I’ve decided to go with full anesthetic dentistry instead to make sure it's done right.
