Bringing home a new puppy is one of the best (and busiest!) seasons — and we’re here to make it a whole lot easier.
At Dale Mabry Animal Hospital, we don’t just “do vaccines.” We help guide you through every stage so your puppy grows into a happy, healthy, well-adjusted dog.
What We Focus On
Your puppy’s first year sets the foundation for everything. We’ll help you stay on track with:
🐾 Vaccines to protect against serious illness
🐾 Parasite prevention (fleas, ticks, heartworms, intestinal parasites)
🐾 Nutrition for healthy growth
🐾 Training guidance and behavior support
🐾 Safe socialization during critical development stages
Vaccines Made Simple
Puppies typically start vaccines at 6–8 weeks and continue every 3–4 weeks until fully protected.
We’ll walk you through what your puppy actually needs, which may include:
- Distemper/Parvo (DHPP)
- Rabies
- Bordetella
- Leptospirosis (based on lifestyle)
No guesswork — we tailor everything to your puppy.

Parasite Prevention (Non-Negotiable in Florida 😅)
Let’s be real — Florida is prime time for parasites year-round.
We’ll help you protect your puppy with:
- Monthly heartworm prevention
- Flea & tick protection
- Routine deworming and fecal testing
Simple, effective, and safe.
Feeding & Nutrition
There’s a lot of noise out there about puppy food — we’ll keep it simple.
We’ll help you:
- Choose a quality puppy diet
- Feed the right amount (no overfeeding!)
- Transition foods safely
- Avoid common mistakes
Training & Socialization
This is where the magic happens ✨
Early experiences shape your puppy’s personality for life. We’ll guide you on:
