Dog & Cat Dental Cleaning Costs in Fort Lauderdale

A cleaning price and a complete dental visit estimate can cover different things. CHOMP publishes its fees separately so you can see what is included, what may be added, and what to discuss with the veterinary team. These are CHOMP’s published prices, not a survey of Fort Lauderdale clinics.

How much does dog teeth cleaning cost at CHOMP?

The published dog cleaning price is $595. With $150 bloodwork, the core subtotal is $745 before additional treatment or medication. The doctor exam is complimentary when you proceed with CHOMP-recommended dental care; otherwise it is $50.

How much does cat teeth cleaning cost at CHOMP?

The published cat cleaning price is $495. With $150 bloodwork, the core subtotal is $645 before additional treatment or medication. The doctor exam is complimentary when you proceed with CHOMP-recommended dental care; otherwise it is $50.

What does the cleaning price include, and what costs extra?

The cleaning includes anesthesia, dental X-rays, scaling, charting, and polishing. Bloodwork is a separate $150 line item. Extractions are priced per tooth: $100 (1 root), $150 (2 root), $200 (3 root / canine). Periovive is $75, and post-operative medications are $15–$30 if required. Ask for an itemized estimate for your pet.

What could change the total?

The $645 cat and $745 dog core subtotals cover cleaning and bloodwork, with the exam fee waived when you proceed with recommended care. They exclude extractions, Periovive, medications, and other additional treatment. They are not a promise of the final bill. Your pet’s examination and dental findings determine the treatment plan.

How to compare two dental estimates

• Ask whether the quote covers anesthesia and monitoring, dental X-rays, cleaning, and polishing.
• Check whether examination, bloodwork, extractions, medications, and follow-up are included or billed separately.
• Ask what can be determined before anesthesia and what may only be found during a complete examination and dental X-rays.
• Agree on how the practice will contact you and obtain authorization if additional treatment is needed.
• Compare the same scope of care. An awake surface cleaning is not equivalent to a veterinary dental procedure under anesthesia.

Why anesthesia and dental X-rays are part of the discussion

AAHA’s dental guidelines describe examination, dental radiographs, and treatment under general anesthesia as parts of comprehensive dental care. The American Veterinary Dental College explains the limitations of anesthesia-free scaling. Anesthesia has risks; discuss your pet’s health, assessment, monitoring, and recovery plan with the veterinarian.

Payment options and your written estimate

CHOMP lists Cherry and CareCredit among its financing options. Check eligibility and terms with the provider before relying on financing. If you have pet insurance, ask your insurer which dental services your policy covers and how reimbursement works.
