As a general benchmark, periodontal treatment / cohat typically costs $400 – $1,250 in Australia as at July 2026. The exact price depends on your state, your clinic and your pet — always ask your vet for a quote before proceeding.
Based on our indicative benchmarks, Tasmania tends to have the lowest typical range ($400 – $1,000), while Australian Capital Territory tends to be at the higher end ($460 – $1,250). Individual clinics within any state vary widely.
Clinic rent and staffing costs, equipment, the vet’s experience, your pet’s size and health, and how complex the individual case turns out to be all affect the final bill. Two clinics in the same suburb can legitimately quote very different prices for the same service.
How these benchmarks are compiled: Ranges combine published clinic price lists, community-contributed vet bills and Australian market research, aggregated to a typical state-level range. Last reviewed July 2026. They are broad indicative benchmarks — not a survey of every clinic, and not a quote for your pet.
What you actually pay depends on your clinic, your pet's size, breed and health, and the complexity of the individual case. Always request a personalised estimate directly from your vet before proceeding with any treatment. VetCompare provides general information only — not veterinary, financial or personal advice.
