My pug is about one and a half. He has 2 puppy teeth that never came out. The vet told me to get them out but it blew my mind. Now both of them are little nubs but don't seem to be botherin him. How much will it cost to have them removed. I know, I'm a horrible dog mom! I feel so bad!

In the clinics I've worked at, a reasonable fee would be approximately $200 for a total dental cleaning (including bloodwork, anesthesia, and IV catheter), and likely $20-40 per extraction of puppy teeth (depending on which puppy teeth are retained) canines are more difficult and have longer roots than incisors, and it takes more time and work to get them out without breaking the root!!

Ask your vet how much it costs. Even though they may not bother your puppy they need to come out or his permanent teeth will not grow in properly as there will not be room for them since the baby teeth will be in the way. It works for dogs pretty much the same way it works for people. Get them out so he does not end up having an overbite or other teeth problems in the future.

In the long run its better to remove them. Will cause problems with the other teeth. Where I work (Canada) estimate about 200$ Canadian. Anesthesia, extractions, hospit stay and pain meds, maybe antibiotics.

my vet charged $6.00 per tooth, but dont forget the office call and the chance that they will put the dog to sleep for a short time- it all adds up, but they need to come out

You can take a dime & work them between the teeth & they'll come out.
