I don't know if you're open to them at all, but we used Animal Dental in Columbia last summer for our cat and had a positive experience. They weren't quite as expensive as I was expecting, but anything animal dental is pricy. I appreciated how good they were with going over all options, procedures, and following up. Bonus points to them for providing awkward cat-mouth under anesthesia pictures that I really didn't need but gave me a laugh.

They were on the list from my vet. Did you find their facilities modern and docs competent? Dog is kinda old at 13 so nervous this could be a last visit type thing with the anesthesia.....😔

Docs I felt super confident in. We ended up not being able to get our cat in with the doc we initially consulted with because my schedule conflicted with hers, but I was happy with who we got instead. He called before/after procedure to consult on a couple of things as well.

Can't really speak to facilities. As of last July, when we went, they were still only doing car pick up/drop off. It's right off of route 100, so a little noisy from the outside, but it's a part of a modern-looking office park and in a nice area.

I've got an old cat, and they did pre-surgical bloodwork on her and went over some risk factors.

Good luck to puppers! I've got a 13 yo dog, too, so totally get the fear.

Made an appointment for next month wish us luck! Woman on the phone seemed nice and they can do it all same day so that's good. A bit of a drive but lil buddy is worth it!

Good luck, and that's great they can do everything same day. Also hope pain isn't too bad for the doggy between now and then. Happy thoughts for you both!
