When getting a consult for my puppy's neutering, I was told by the vet (Banfield inside Petsmart) that if his baby teeth don't come out on their own by the date of his surgery, they should be removed at the same time that he is neutered to avoid problems (infection?). The cost is $80 per tooth (4 teeth).
Kirby is my 4th dog and I've never had problems with baby teeth not coming out on their own, nor was I advised back then to worry.
Is this a legitimate concern? (The vet wouldn't give me a straight answer.)
Thank you!
