I had my yorkie neutered at my vets for $35. The stitches were on the inside, so he didn't bother them. He was eager to leave within a few hours of having it done. He was his same old self the next day. My chi was also $35 for his neuter plus the vet clipped his nails. He had the same stitches and was even more eager to come home and was back to his old self the next day also.
