Preventative Care & Vaccinations for Pets in Tyler, TX

Preventative care is the foundation of a long, healthy life for your pet. At True Friends Veterinary Services, we make it easy and stress-free by bringing these essential services directly to your home. From annual wellness exams to vaccinations and parasite prevention, Dr. Lindsey Hone provides personalized, mobile veterinary care that protects your pet at every life stage.

Why Preventative Care Matters

Preventing illness is always easier — and less costly — than treating it later. Annual wellness exams and scheduled vaccines help catch health issues early and protect your pet from dangerous diseases. With our mobile services, your pet can receive this vital care where they’re most relaxed: at home.

Our In-Home Preventative Services

Wellness Exams


A full nose-to-tail physical exam lets Dr. Hone check your pet’s overall health, monitor weight, evaluate lifestyle, and address any early signs of illness or aging.

  • Dogs: Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, Leptospirosis

Flea, Tick & Heartworm Prevention


Parasites are active year-round in East Texas. We offer on-site administration and prescription preventatives tailored to your pet’s needs, including oral, topical, or injectable options.

Personalized Care for Every Pet

Not every animal has the same needs. Dr. Hone customizes care based on your pet’s species, breed, environment, and health history. Whether it’s a housecat with no outdoor exposure or a working farm dog, we’ll build a preventative plan that makes sense.

We provide preventative services for:



  • Dogs

  • Cats

  • Rabbits

  • Chickens

  • Goats

  • Horses

  • Pigs

Stress-Free Exams — Without the Clinic Visit

Many pets experience stress just riding in the car or entering a busy veterinary office. In-home care makes the experience more relaxed — for both animals and owners.

FAQs About Preventative Pet Care

  • How often should my pet be vaccinated?

    It depends on age, lifestyle, and vaccine type. Most pets need annual boosters, but we tailor schedules to your pet’s needs.

  • Can multiple pets receive care during one visit?

    Absolutely. We often see entire households during a single appointment — it’s more efficient and convenient for families with multiple animals.

  • Do you offer health certificates or travel paperwork?

    Yes. We can issue documentation for travel, boarding, or adoption requirements.
