His teeth... it's odd. The last vet said his teeth were "awful" and he would need them cleaned within a year or two. Well, 2 vets and a vet tech looked at his teeth at the new office and said, "well he has a tiny bit of tartar. I'd recommend getting them cleaned at around age 10 for this guy."

The old place may have charged less for their services, but the new place seems to only want to do what is really needed.
