Backwoods brew ordering thread

Back with a vet bill of $496.65....
Heartworm/Lyme & tick meds, check ups....Lordy

I know how you feelin whiskey. Sometimes, I feel like I spend more money on medical bills for the dogs than I do with my kids. Also the dentist bills. I took my Yorkie for a teeth cleaning and it cost me over $200!

LOL...well this is once a year test & meds..I just buy meds every 6 months for heartworm & flea/Tick prevention and any shots they need.
other than that(knock on wood) they stay healthy!!!!

Teeth cleaning every 3 years for mine, last year it was $185, so that sounds about right, they have to knock them out to do that, so I understand the cost. If anything else needs doing, I have it done while they are out for that, sos to cut the cost down a little.

My son, (almost 6yrs old), told my wife the other day, that he wanted a hedgehog for a pet. I can't even imagine that one.

Oh happy day!

 

[whiskey]

LOL...I heard they make great pets, Kevin...easy to care for too.

Hi kilo

Good morning, BWB Crew!

Less than $200 for teeth cleaning back there - I had to pay $500 the last time I had Ben's teeth clean and he's due again they keep telling me.

 

[vapspaz]

I have a $20 copay so I get mine cleaned every 6 months.

Oh.. wait... nevermind.

 

[sashwa]

You are so silly vaps.

 

[whiskey]

Boy are they raking you Sash...I'd call around to see why he's so high

 

[sashwa]

I did and that seems like the going price around here - 'tis not cheap to live here in the SF Bay area. :-/

I think teeth cleaning for dogs is over rated. Just give them a bone or log or small child to gnaw on and they'll be fine.

Our vet recently started spraying our dogs teeth with that plaque remover stuff and I couldn't believe the difference in the dog breath department. The vet told us that with our aging dogs it's not good to put them under the stress and anesthesia <sp?> just to clean their teeth.

 

[whiskey]

And the Vet is taking advantage of that as well, what a piece of crap~

 

[sashwa]

What is that spray stuff, vaps? Can you buy it over the counter or can you only get it from a Vet? Can you use it on cats too?

True Vaps about putting them under too many times...as with humans, its not good to do frequently, thats why its done every 3-4 years, and usually by that time, they need other stuff done , so I wait if its not life threating to have everything done at once.

 

[Kevin H]

I need to get some of that "spray on stuff" for my son's teeth. Man, he has some bad breath in the morning, and doesn't brush his teeth until we tell him to. Maybe I'll stop by my local vet and pick some up for him. Just kidding!

 

[vapspaz]

I'm not sure what the stuff is called sash. I know there is cheap knock off stuff out there that you can buy but the stuff the vet uses is $$ stuff. I think the wife told me you can buy it from them but don't hold me to that.

I could call them and ask if you'd like?

I agree whis. I'm sticking with just letting them gnaw on small children and neighborhood cats though. It gives them good exercise.

 

[whiskey]

LOL...Vaps!!!!!

 

[Kevin H]

Time for launch......I mean lunch. But then, 1st, I'll have to launch myself into the kitchen to get some lunch. Yeah, that sounds about right.

 

[sashwa]

I'll check that out when I take Ben in for his yearly checkup and shots next month. He gets a Bully stick once a week and and has a piece of deer antler to chew on when he's so inclined.
