Pet exams are first and foremost about helping your companion stay healthy and treating any issues that have developed. However, they are also great opportunities for our team to build a better relationship with you and your pet. Seeing you both regularly means we'll have a more complete medical history for your pet, and it will be easier for us to recommend any treatments that will increase their quality of life. Our team in Belen, NM is deeply invested in helping you care for your pet and have as many wonderful years with them as possible.

Every pet needs a strong immune system to help them fight infection, and vaccines give dogs and cats the necessary protection to do just that. All puppies and kittens start out with antibodies they obtained while nursing, but these antibodies decrease after they've been weaned. At Valencia Animal Clinic, we recommend vaccinating pets as early as 6-8 weeks depending on their health, so they can start building up their immune system and be more resistant to illness going forward.Cat and dog vaccinations improve the health of our pets, but they also protect the health of our fellow humans here in Belen, NM.
