I grew up on a ranch, we always had outside cats and farm dogs and always got them spayed/nutered at the local spca. Missy and Max are my 1st yorkies and 1st inside dogs, they're my babies
so I thought for sure they were gonna go the the real vet who charged $300. I asked around and talked to a few vets and also the vet at the spca, after looking into it I realized the vet at the spca was just as trained and the procedure was the same as the vet in the private practice. Since the neuter was less invasive I took Max to the spca, I paid $40, he recieved excellent care while he was there and he healed just fine, they even sent him home with a pain shot and pain meds for free. Missy on the other hand, I thought since her would be more invasive I'd pay full price and have her spayed at the vet. I paid over $400, the spay was 300 something, plus I paid extra for the pain shot and the pain meds to take home. Im thankfull both of my babies made it through and healed just fine, but I do think the spca could of done a great job on both of them.
