I am glad that you identify with my feelings and worries. I do want to save the cost while giving my yorkies the best care I can possibly afford. Do you know ... if it is safe to skip the pre-anesthesia blood work if I bring my puppies to the spay clinic, ... some of those options that the vet offered seem to be important (like microchip insertion, help extract teeth if necessary, heartworm test, pull out hairs from ears, etc.) Are there something important/critical that my puppies will miss out if they are sent to the spay clinic instead of the vet?
