Augusta Gutledge recently adopted a Great Dane, Loki. When she brought in Loki for her one-year checkup, she was surprised to learn from the vet that he has 70 teeth, which is about 28 more teeth than normal for a Great Dane breed.
Unfortunately, the vet recommended to remove 21 teeth, which resulted in a $770 (Β£609) vet bill.
Augusta, a 31-year-old bar owner, said: “I had taken him to our local vet for a routine check-up since he was a new rescue and mentioned to the doctor that the people we got him from mentioned that he may have retained baby teeth.
“Loki is a giant puppy and is very energetic β so I hadn’t had a chance to look inside his mouth myself beforehand.
