Responsible Pet Care in Belen, NM
At Yucca Veterinary Medical Center, we recommend spaying and neutering as an important step in your pet’s long-term health and wellbeing. Beyond preventing unwanted litters, these routine procedures provide lifelong medical and behavioral benefits for dogs and cats in Belen and Valencia County.

- Lower risk of testicular cancer and prostate problems in males.
- Prevention of life-threatening uterine infections (pyometra).
Behavioral Benefits
- Less roaming and escape attempts.
