dbullwinkel Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I think I mis-posted on food and dietary my mistake..so I am re=-posting here! Missy (8 year old female grey) and Flex (adult IG) both need dentals bad. Other grey's teeth are great! Vet quoted me at over $400 for Missy! I didn't get price for little 10lb Flex yet. Someone in the greyhound adoption group travels to Philadelphi to NGAP for dentals. Their price with anesthesia is 110-115! The price difference is amazing--but at least 6 hours round trip. I was wondering if anyone had used NGAP or knew of any other facility in the Long Island NY vacinity that perfoms dentals at a reasonable cost.

Guest CindiLuvsGreys Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Read through this prior discussion about NGAP. You will have to make your own decision if that is the right place for your kids. Personally I wouldn't even let them clip my dog's nails. http://forum.greytalk.com/index.php?showto...ental&st=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BasilMom Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I've used NGAP. Can't beat the price and the vets know Greyhounds. They are open at the clinic Tuesdays and Fridays 10a.m. Call for a appointment. I've always been happy with the service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudy Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Does that also include bloodwork before hand? Ryan was just put under for x-rays again last week as well as more pre-surgery bloodwork. Bloodwork and anesthesia alone were $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemandvm Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 You can read my issues with NGAP in the thread quoted above. In the end it is up to you if you are comfortable with the procedures that they perform or not.

Greytlady94 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) Although cost is important it is not the most important. All dentals are not equal, make sure you know exactly what is being done for the $$. I pay $300. for a dental with mild to moderate tartar and no extractions. There is always pre-dental bloodwork, IV fluids started, (before) greyhound approved (propofol) anesthesia, EKG before and during dental, oxygen monitored, temperature is taken before, during and after, etc. Warm water blanket for wakeup. Antibiotics are started one week before dental and given one week after but I pay for those extra.

dbullwinkel Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 I dont think I will be using NGAP..maybe they are good...but maybe they aren't. I'd rather not take a chance. I just wish dentals were a little less expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest luckydog Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Unfortunately, there are folks who let their feelings about the director of NGAP color their opinions of NGAP as a whole. For my money, I'd rather go to vet's who have seen and treated *thousands* of greyhounds. But that's just my opinion, colored or not.

Guest greytmonty Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Our local vet did Monty's dental when he had his tumor removed. As he already had the anesthesia it is hard to say what the cost of just the dental was, but with bloodwork and anesthesia these things can run around $400 or up.

Guest EaglesMom Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I used NGAP for both of my boy's dentals and was happy with the vets and the pricing. The staff was very nice. I too, think that sometimes people let their feelings for the owner color their judgement of the facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey8greys Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I used NGAP this year for both my girls. I was very pleased with them and both dogs did just fine. I met with the Vets before their dentals and they were very nice, and answered all my questions. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price was very good, compared to the $500.00 each that my regular Vet quoted me. I also like the fact that NGAP knows Greyhounds. I will be going back for next year's dentals.
