The $1500 is also including what I spent at the previous vet as well.

Reply to Veterinary Dentist? by WafflesTheBadger
Years ago when I got my cat, my brother-in-law let him out of our house and when I finally got my cat back inside, I noticed his right fang looked chipped. Upon closer examination, I could see pink, which I knew the nerve was exposed. I took him to my vet and they charged me about $400 for x-rays/exam and recommended extraction.
The only issue with that is that in cats, the fang is such a large tooth that removing it would weaken the facial bones and also cause his lip to recede in which would end up getting ulcers from his lower teeth leading to more issues and possible teeth extractions. Considering the biggest costs is from the anesthesia, going with a root canal over an extraction wouldn't cost much more, and possibly even cheaper in the long run. At the time there were no veterinarian dentists in RI and only 3 in MA, all who were booked until the next year.
Big issue for me at the time was it was October and I was about to go on a 10 day trip to Chicago in two days and I couldn't let my cat go that long without it getting taken care of. Eventually we called Salem Valley Vet Clinic in Salem CT. We explained the situation and Dr. Bob Baratt (while many Vets can do teeth extractions, this guy is an actual Dentist for animals) told us to come first thing in the morning at 7:30am. He told us the tooth could be capped and asked when would we like to schedule it. We asked if the same day was possible. He managed to fit us in. We drove to Mystic Village for lunch and by the time we were done eating, they called us and my little Stanley was all set. All in all, it cost us about $1,500.
Aside from that little story, where ever you end up going, see if they take CareCredit. It let us spread out our payments overtime and I don't think they charge any interest for the first year. Who knows, maybe your pup might not need the tooth extracted either.

I’d rather buy in RI so the taxes go towards making things better for us, instead of some other state.

If you don't switch the registration though, is that not some kind of fraud?

That's not true. They want to know who's driving it and where its garaged because that's how they base their rates.

That’s why I asked the question, and worded it in a way to not sway the perception of others. I didn’t include that the car had a “fuck biden” and thin blue line flag sticker, which indicates to me that it’s not a rental car. I didn’t include that it was an elderly white man, which means it’s pretty unlikely it’s not a college student. I just wanted to know if it was unusual that someone has their vehicle registered in a state thats different from their voting(thus primary residence) state. I tried to look up auto registration laws prior to making this post and didn’t see anything indicating that these two things were compatible.

No, you decided to make it about that. I specifically kept the post as politically neutral as I could by not including the “fuck biden” and “thin blue line flag” stickers in order to not have biased answers. I was looking for clarification because I always figured you had to have all of your registrations, voter and auto, in the state that’s your primary residence.

Oh it definitely was, but that’s because the car with FL plates was driven by an old white guy with a “fuck biden” and a thin blue line sticker. I didn’t mention this shit cause I wasn’t trying to sway opinions or answer. I was trying to get unbiased answers which apparently this sub unable to provide.

So can anyone register a car in FL? From what I've read online, which I'm not sure of, (which I mistakenly came to reddit for clarification for) is that you have to have a FL drivers license. I've only switched my drivers license and auto registration once, 8 years ago when I moved from MA to RI. A few years ago I recall seeing articles about how police were going to be cracking down on out of state registration in Woonsocket and I always wondered how'd they determine if the owner was a resident or not.

That makes sense given how slow the DMV/RMV can be, even more so since the pandemic started. Thank you for the polite and constructive reply.

No, I argued with people who came in here making assumptions and giving answers to questions not asked. Believe me, asking a question on reddit is the last thing I'd like to do. I tried to look up the rules regarding out of state auto registration (hence the entire second half of my post) but I couldn't find any solid info online. Silly me for assuming reddit could spend a second thinking before posting their replies.

Did you read my post? If so, did you skip the part where I said "got me wondering" It seems like a whole lot of you just straight up don't read up. I don't recall accusing anyone, maybe you can point it out for me?

It's not their car... it's a rental. They're not responsible for the registration. You're really going to sit here and say every car w/ FL plates in our state is a rental? Really?

>There are quite literally 1000's of non fraud reasons someone may be using a car with Florida plates.
Feel free to list some aside from Rental, College Student and Active Duty. There should be literally 9997 more reasons according to you.
​
>There are virtually no credible instances of voter fraud whatsoever.
That's wrong, there's plenty of instances of voter fraud, most of them committed by republican voters and Trump supporters.
​
>my primary suggestion is get off of fox news
Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't watch Fox News. Ironic that so many people here are jumping down my throat because I'm asking a question while then making their own assumptions. Good job!

Everything I'm reading says you need to have a FL drivers license to register a car in FL and there's only 8 states that allow you to register a car without that states drivers license, neither FL or RI are one of them.
