dog health and vet services

We call them 'Man's Best Friend' for a reason.

For hundreds of years, our canine companions have brought joy and laughter into the home - as well as protection for those that need it.

Many of us look at our dogs as members of the family, and with that in mind we should make sure that they're getting the proper medical and nutritional care they need to stay happy and healthy for years to come. At Care Animal Hospital, we've worked with thousands of dogs and puppies over the past 10 years to protect them against disease and treat them when they're sick, and we get letters from pet owners almost every week letting us know we're doing a great job.

Why not call or schedule an appointment online for your pooch today? Your pet will thank you for it!

Our pet wellness plans are a simple and cost-effective way for pet owners to make sure that their animals stay healthy throughout the year.

Why should I get a pet wellness plan?

  • Wellness plan members NEVER pay full price for exams - a $10 co-pay covers everything!
  • Annual Dental Cleanings - includes x-rays, scaling, brushing and polishing of your dog's teeth.
  • You're keeping your dog current on their exams and vaccinations. That's one of the best things you can do to keep your pet in great shape as they get older. 
  • They're completely customizable - does your dog have special needs, such as a skin condition that requires monthly medication? Include it in the wellness plan!

 

And did we mention that you can break up your wellness plan payments over 12 months, just like an annual pass to the nearby theme parks? We know that money can be tight sometimes, but that should never stop you from making sure your pet has the medical care that need - instead of one lump sum payment, we'll break it up into 12 smaller monthly installments for patients that qualify.

Ignoring the condition of your pet's mouth can lead to periodontal disease, tooth loss and other serious health problems, such as heart, liver and kidney failure.

While you should NEVER brush your dog's teeth with toothpaste made for people (it may upset your pet's stomach - or worse), it is important their teeth get brushed, to help prevent tartar buildup and plaque. While it may be a bit awkward at first, we'll help you get started on the road towards good dental health for your pet.

Is your dog preparing for a contest, planning a big night out on the town, or do they just need a good bath, haircut and nail trimming? Whatever the occasion, your pet will be sitting pretty after our always-in-demand pet groomer fixes them up!

And if Mom and Dad need to get away for a while, we've got you covered there, too. Just pick up the phone and call us at 813-684-7387 to schedule boarding arrangements, or login to setup your boarding needs online.

Spay or Neuter Surgery is a very important decision for every pet owner.

Between 3 and 4 million pets are euthanized at animal shelters across the United States each year, many of which could have been avoided if more owners spayed or neutered their pets.

We offer low cost spay and neuter surgeries for our patients to help reduce the number of unwanted pets in our local shelters. The out-patient procedure is much like an actual surgery for humans; your dog is given anesthesia so they will sleep through the surgery, and all vital signs are monitored continually during the procedure. All of our surgical equipment is sterilized before each surgery and the doctor 'scrubs' up just like at the hospital, to eliminate any chance of outside infection.

After surgery, we will monitor their recovery and treat any post-surgery issues, if necessary. We'll call you once the procedure is completed to let you know everything is ok, and explain what you'll need to do when you bring your pet home. 

Living in Florida, it's only a matter of time before the pet you love is exposed to fleas. And once they get on your pet, they'll most certainly get in your house, bringing with them other potentially harmful diseases.

Fortunately, advances in parasite control medication can help prevent fleas and heartworms from attacking your pet. The cost of treatment is low, application is easy and will help ensure your pet's wellness for several weeks at a time.

We can even have the flea prevention medication shipped directly to your home when you use our online forms. How's that for convenience!

Young dogs are susceptible to a great many diseases, which is why it's vitally important to make sure they receive their routine vaccinations as protection against these preventable illnesses.

We recommend initial vaccinations for puppies starting around 6-8 weeks, continuing vaccinations monthly until they are 16 weeks old. Adult canines typically only need vaccinations on an annual basis after that.

Our dog vaccinations protect against:

  • Leptospirosis
  • Hepatitis
  • Lyme Disease
  • Parvovirus
  • Coronavirus
  • Giardia
  • Infectious Tracheobronchitis
  • Rabies
  • Distemper
