Spay and Neuter in Bellevue, WA

Dog and cat spay and neuter is one of the most important health decisions you can make for your pet. It prevents unplanned pregnancies, reduces undesirable behaviors and also reduces the likelihood of certain cancers developing. Additionally, spay and neuter can help decrease animal overpopulation and help homeless pets find loving homes.

Caring for a pet means planning for the future. At Bellevue Value Pet Clinic, we understand that one-size-fits-all medicine does not take into account each pet's unique needs. We take a case-by-case approach to each patient, learning about their health history, lifestyle, personality, and circumstances. This way our veterinarians can give you clear information and help you understand your options. Call us at (425) 644-7002 to schedule an spay & neuter appointment in Bellevue today.
