neutering a dog

Hi, anyone know of any vets in San Diego with reasonable prices for dog neutering? I have a 4lb chihuahua who is about to be 5 y/o and I’m finally gonna get him neutered. His vet quoted me close to $1,500 which feels insanely expensive.

I’ll travel anywhere in the county, and no I don’t wanna take him to TJ. A few people have suggested that.
