Cosmic, yeah, I heard about stuff like that too and that's terrible! I do believe that my cat does need this dental work though as his teeth are in bad shape. They're yellow with lots of plaque, and there is inflammation there. So I'll have to pay for this secretly via money order.

So, what kind of horror stories have you heard about? What scams are you aware of, and what did your family members tell you? I'd like to know what to look out for.
