We are all hoping that August brings beautiful summer weather! ☀️.
However, with the recent weather we have seen a record number of mosquitoes 🦟and aquatic insects.

Combining this with warm weather we are in high risk of diseases such as Potomac Horse Fever (PHF) and West Nile Virus(WNV)

Controlling where your horses graze, insect protection and vaccination can help in prevention.
With PHF detection of early signs of disease - depression, lethargy, inappetence are key to improve prognosis !!

For West Nile virus appropriate and complete vaccination protocols are very successful!

Talk to our equine team today for advice. Vaccines take time to work, don’t wait til the heat is upon us.

💕Happy Father’s Day to the Dads 💕

Today, we’re celebrating the hardworking fathers who walk through our doors and whose dedication often extends far beyond their own families.

To the dads working long days in agriculture, helping feed our communities and care for the land.

To the “non horsey” dads who spend countless hours hauling horses, sitting through lessons, shows, rodeos, and appointments simply because their children love it.

To the dads who bring in the family dog or cat for routine vaccines, often admitting they’re not entirely sure why they’re there, but showing up because they know it’s important!

To the dads who swore they didn’t want another pet, only to become their biggest supporter, and who say “yes” when that beloved animal needs a costly but life saving surgery.

And today, we’d also like to recognize three special dads on our own team. Our veterinarian fathers spend long days caring for animals and supporting their clients, often sacrificing evenings, weekends, and family time to provide for and care for others. Their dedication to both their families and their profession does not go unnoticed.

Thank you!!!

Fatherhood comes in many forms, but at its heart is the same commitment… showing up, working hard, making sacrifices, and caring deeply for those who depend on you.

From all of us, Happy Father’s Day to every dad making a difference at home, on the farm, in the barn, and in our clinic. We appreciate you.
