I wouldn't. These low cost clinics are a great thing for people that can't afford it...it really helps to control the pet population. I'm really glad they are there because dogs get spayed/neutered that otherwise wouldn't because of money issues. But I want the very best for my babies...like Ellie Mae, I want pre-op bloodwork, monitoring, pain meds, etc. I also want a vet that has a certain amount of appointments scheduled and takes their time. With the low cost clinics, their goal is to get as many done as possible...they may rush through the procedure. I just think there might be a lot higher risk of infection or complications with a spay/neuter clinic than at a regular vet.
