Debbie, Even for CA these prices seem way too high. I just looked up Storm's dental cleaning record and he had his teeth cleaned in Jan.2006. He had the pre-op blood work done and one tooth extracted. This was at my old vets and they were also having a dental special so I saved 20% off of the cleaning. Here's the breakdown of the cost:

Pre-Op Panel- In House 42.00
