We have a low cost clinic near my dads house on the Eastern Shore that I like a lot.

To be honest he was neutered there before I knew "better" and all was good as well.  They absolutely have their place and no judgment from me. I'd rather people be going to a low cost place than NO vet at all, too, ya know? But bloodwork/vaccines/etc aren't too complicated and I have no issue with going to one for that kind of stuff. |
The only reason I’m big on taking the boys to my vet for their vaccines is because Joey reacts poorly to them so even if he has Benadryl and he starts acting sick they will still see him that day for free. The emergency vet when Ollie had his weird allergic reaction to something outside told me he would be more prone to allergic reactions from vaccines so same for him. Penny has no reactions neither does Callie so they would be fine anywhere really. Poor Joey is coming due for his rabies and it’s always so hard on him.
