Boscoe is a 12-year-old Yorkie in Sacramento, CA, who needs $400 for Teeth cleaning.

My lovely, sweet, blind little grandpa needs a deep teeth cleaning. Last year he was diagnosed with diabetes. Our vet says there’s protein in his urine which is due to a tooth infection. His golden years with us are very important. We want him to stay with us as long as possible. His diabetes are already draining us financially. Anything helps, we thank you all so much. Boscoe says thank you too!

Boscoe is 12. He likes to eat, sleep and twirl for his food. He’s our best guard dog. He likes to cuddle ONLY when he wants to. His enjoyment for walking as declined due to his age and arthritis. He loves treats *diabetic friendly of course!* He is the loudest snorer I’ve ever heard. He takes up more than half of my bed despite being 8 pounds.

Since he’s diabetic our vet routine is pretty frequently. Every time we spend about $300 on tests, medications, diabetic food, insulin, needles etc. We’ve maxed out credit cards and taken out small loans.

Boscoe can’t seem to catch a health break. Between his diabetes, he’s prone to frequent UTIs, and vet visits. Now it’s his teeth. Once we get this deep cleaning it’s supposed to help stop protein into his urine, which will help him not develop kidney failure. We’ve taken him to different vets and they won’t even look at his kidneys until we get a cleaning because his teeth are so bad.

Boscoe is the sweetest man. Every groomer, vet and dog boarder can confirm this. He is blind, so when our cats run by he *playfully* bites at the air which is so funny. He is terrified of squeaking dog toys, fireworks and smoke alarms. He will eat out of the garbage when no one is looking...if there’s pizza, he’s on a mission.
