When a pappy gets its tail docked it is just cartilage and takes just seconds to do. Not the same with an older dog.
As far as the teeth cleaning 350 is reasonable. It's what we charge. A lot of people forget the vets go to school the same length of time as a md and it is harder to get in vet school then in medical school. It cost $$$$ for all the fancy equipment that we all want to see in a vet clinic and those things cost a lot of money.
