What's included in a feline COHAT
Pre-anesthetic exam and bloodwork, feline-specific anesthesia with continuous multi-parameter monitoring, full-mouth digital dental X-rays (essential for diagnosing FORLs), ultrasonic scaling above and below the gum line, probing and charting of every tooth, surgical extraction or crown amputation when needed, local nerve blocks, multimodal pain control, polishing, and a written dental report.
Why feline dental X-rays matter
Tooth resorption (FORLs) and root abscesses often hide below the gum line — they look like normal teeth on an awake exam. Full-mouth X-rays catch them and prevent unnecessary suffering. We include them on every feline dental, never as an upcharge.
Subtle signs your cat needs a dental
Chattering when eating, drooling, dropping kibble, preferring soft food, eating on one side, weight loss, bad breath, decreased grooming, or behavior change. Most cats show no obvious signs even with advanced disease.
Cost and what to expect
Most feline COHATs run $700–$1,300 depending on the number of extractions. We provide an estimate after dental X-rays. Most cats go home the same day and eat soft food that evening; sutures are dissolvable.
