Our Services:

Preventative Medicine
We provide routine wellness exams, vaccinations, and laboratory services for cats and dogs.

Flea and Tick Control
Keeping your pet on year-round flea control is very important in Florida. Using a flea control product may save your pet hours of misery, as well as saving you money in the end. Many cats and dogs are allergic to a flea’s bite and may cause them a reaction.

Heartworm Prevention
We have many different choices of heartworm prevention and flea and tick control products for our clients, to suit each individual pet’s needs.

Microchip Insertion
Microchipping is one of the main focuses of lost pet return. Hernando Animal Hospital uses HomeAgain microchips that are recognized world wide. Placement of the microchip is fast, easy and virtually painless.

Canine Dentisty
Good dental health is essential to the general health, well-being, and longevity of your dog’s life. Many experts believe that you can add five years on to your pet’s life by maintaining good dental health for your pet. Regular checkups will help to keep track of your dog’s dental health.

Feline Dentistry
Like dogs, cats can suffer from dental diseases including periodontitis. In fact, dental disease is one of the largest causes of health problems in cats. Treatment may include antibiotics, dental cleaning, and extractions, when necessary. Some cats are more prone to plaque, and subsequent dental disease, than others. At Hernando Animal Hospital, every appointment with the doctor includes examining your cat’s teeth and mouth, and advising you on good dental care for your pet.
