Wow, that's cheap.... but I'd make sure it's as good as the services the vet provides. I've seen photos/articles about getting so many people in they just line 'em up on operating tables and move down the line with little individual attention given to each animal. I believe the vet costs more because they have at least two people (surgeon & anesthesiologist - at least my vet does) in the operating room taking care of one single animal at a time.

But this might not be the case.... I'd call them and ask for more information. If that includes pre-op bloodwork, what kind of anesthesia they use - we want sevo or isoflurane, how many surgeons/techs are present during the operation, how much post-op monitoring they receive and if there's any kind of pain management (painkillers) provided during recovery.... etc etc

Do they offer that price for everyone? My humane society only offers low cost spay/neuters to people that "qualify" - those whose income is too low to afford the procedure at a traditional veterinary office.
