HELP, Can't afford dog teeth extraction cost

[jjlovestoto]

My three-year old Maltese already got a lot of tar-tar build-up. Three teeth are loose. I've been using Petzlife, and brushing her teeth. hoping it would help, but I guess Maltese really have bad teeth.

The vet gave me a quote of $1200, for cleaning and removing those bad teeth. I'm a student, really can't afford that much. and I know that many places charge way less than that.

I live in Edmonton, anyone can recommend a vet that does cleaning and extraction for a reasonable price? I've seen dog owners from Quebec only pay $300 for the same job.

Thanks very much.
