To provide the most effective veterinary care for Henry County’s pets, The Grove Animal Hospital keeps a stock of pet vaccinations that are essential for both dogs and cats. Our feline friends receive vaccines that protect against several viruses and diseases that can damage their gastrointestinal, respiratory and immune systems. Our canine friends receive vaccines that guard them from diseases that can damage their respiratory, immune and excretory systems.

It is imperative that dogs and cats receive the recommended pet vaccinations that are specific to their species. Regardless if your pet is an inside pet or an outside pet, it is crucial to their health that they are vaccinated.

Pet viruses are often spread through direct contact with infected animals who are either wild or unvaccinated. Considering the deadly and progressive nature of the viruses that affect dogs and cats, it is vital to safeguard your furry companion with the recommended vaccines.
