I don’t know the OP, I was just thinking of co-workers and posters on other forums that balk at the thought of spending money on dentals for their pets.
One woman was a lawyer who got into a major argument with me over it, she thought the vets were scamming her by recommending a cleaning and extractions, she instead was going to try all kinds of dental sprays and additives, said her cat was too old to go through surgery. She thought her cat’s teeth looked fine.
Veterinarians have to deal with this every day.
PS: Another example, a very nice retired lady that feeds stray cats and wildlife, took her old cat to the vet because the cat was limping, again the vet recommended a dental, as he had 5 years earlier, again she declined, she said the cat was too old. The limp issue was resolved with treatment.
She also complained about the cost of a dental, but, she recently bought a new car.
