⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The biggest vet cost surprise is dental disease. By age 3, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have some form of dental disease. An annual dental cleaning ($300-700) prevents tooth extractions ($500-2,000 per tooth) and infections that can spread to the heart and kidneys. Prevention is 5-10x cheaper than treatment.
