Services
Pet Exams
Our comprehensive pet exams monitor lifelong health and build client-veterinarian relationships. Physical evaluations detect early signs of disease through skin checks, weight monitoring, and vital assessments. We recommend annual exams with additional parasite screening for optimal preventive care.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination plans protect pets against preventable diseases using core and lifestyle-based protocols. We administer rabies, DHPP, and FVRCP vaccines while considering individual risk factors and legal requirements for safe, effective immunity.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia remove plaque and prevent periodontal disease. Our process includes oral exams, dental X-rays, and ultrasonic scaling to maintain oral health and prevent systemic infections in pets.
Spay and Neuter
Surgical sterilization prevents reproductive diseases and controls pet overpopulation. We perform spays for females and castrations for males, offering long-term health benefits while addressing community animal welfare concerns through responsible population management.
Euthanasia
Compassionate euthanasia services provide peaceful transitions for terminally ill or suffering pets. Our gentle process includes sedation followed by humane euthanasia, with private family time and aftercare options for grieving pet owners.

We moved from Albuquerque about a year ago and we've been bringing our dogs here since, they are great with all of them. We recently had to put one of our elderly dogs to sleep, it was a very hard time but the whole staff was amazing and made it so much easier for us. We will always come here and recommend to anyone!

We have had 2 serious emergencies in the last 72 hours. With two different pets! They treated our fur babies with the utmost respect and kindness. They explained everything step by step, and we so helpful and understanding! Not all vets are familiar with English Mastiffs and Neopolitan Mastiffs, and they were awesome

My dog became incontinent over the weekend. I stopped in Belen on the way home to Albuquerque as she was also becoming lethargic. My regular vet couldn't see her till the next day. The doctor at Valencia took her right in, despite missing some lunch break, diagnosed her problem, gave her a prescription & we were on our way home. She perked up & by the next day was her old self again. Many thanks to the Doctor & staff at Valencia!

My puppy had a UTI and needed to be seen as soon as possible, but I was not happy with the vet I had established care with in Los Lunas and wanted to try somewhere new. When I called Valencia Animal Clinic, I received excellent customer service and they were able to get me an appointment same day. The visit went wonderfully. Both the techs and the doctor are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Thanks to their care, my girl was all better within 24 hours! Thank you Dr. Mack and staff!

I love this place the people are friendly and caring. I took my cat Sammie in for some shots. My cat was really scared because it was some place she had never been before and people she had never seen before. The vet Doctor spent time with my cat by talking to her and petting her in order to make her more comfortable. The vet doctor then gave my cat the shot. My cat didn't even know she had just gotten a shot.
