Routine Pet Wellness Exams
Routine exams are essential to keeping your pet healthy and preventing illness. At Mulberry Grove, we schedule 30-minute appointments—twice as long as typical veterinary visits. This allows our team ample time to provide a thorough health assessment, discuss your pet’s needs, and address any questions or concerns. By taking the time to fully examine your pet and offer personalized advice, we focus on the prevention that helps your pet live the longest, happiest life possible.
Tailored Dog & Cat Vaccinations
Vaccines are an important part of preventive care. We customize your pet’s vaccination plan based on their age, lifestyle, and unique risk factors to provide the best protection possible. Here's a look at the vaccines we offer:
Core Vaccines: Essential Protection for All Pets
Rabies is a deadly disease that can affect dogs, cats, people, and all mammals. Florida law requires pets to be vaccinated by 4 months of age. We offer both 1-year and 3-year rabies vaccines and can help you obtain the required rabies license for your pet in Marion County or surrounding areas.
This vaccine protects against several dangerous diseases. In dogs, it includes protection against distemper, canine adenovirus, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. For cats, it prevents feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. Available as 1-year or 3-year vaccines, it’s a critical part of your pet’s wellness plan.
Lifestyle Vaccines: Customized for Active Pets
Ideal for dogs who attend daycare, boarding, or grooming, this vaccine helps prevent kennel cough, which is highly contagious. We administer this vaccine orally for your dog’s comfort.
For social dogs who may be exposed to the canine flu, this vaccine helps prevent respiratory distress caused by the virus.
This vaccine is recommended for dogs exposed to standing water, wildlife, or rodents. It helps protect against a bacterial infection that can be transmitted to people.
For dogs exposed to tick-prone areas, this annual vaccine helps prevent Lyme disease, which can lead to serious health issues.
Recommended for outdoor cats or those with potential exposure to other cats, this vaccine protects against a disease that’s easily spread and has no cure.
Pet Parasite Prevention
Parasites like heartworms, fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms are common health risks for pets, even if they live indoors. That's why preventing these pests is an essential part of your pet’s wellness plan. Parasite prevention helps avoid the discomfort and danger associated with infections, ensuring your pet remains healthy and happy. Here’s how we tackle parasite prevention:
Why Annual Physical Exams Matter for Your Pet
A complete physical exam is essential to understanding your pet’s health and catching potential issues early. We require a thorough examination within two months of any vaccination or medication administration to ensure your pet’s health is in optimal condition before any treatments are given. Regular exams allow us to spot early signs of illness, adjust care plans, and address any concerns you may have about your pet's well-being. Ultimately, our goal is to keep your pet as healthy as possible, and that begins with consistent, detailed exams.
