Cat size and weight (medication and anaesthesia scale with weight), whether bloodwork or imaging is needed first, after-hours timing, and whether a specialist is involved.

How can I pay less for dental cleaning in Seattle?

Ask for an itemised estimate, compare two clinics, check veterinary-college teaching hospitals, ask about payment plans, and use insurance if the cat was covered before symptoms started.
