Farm calls are about meeting our patients where they are and providing thoughtful, compassionate care right at home.

Dr. Jack and Judy spent the day caring for these horses, helping keep them comfortable, healthy, and on the right track with their equine dental care. With Judy by their side and Dr. Jack taking care of their teeth, these horses were in good hands. 💚

Itchy Pet Awareness Month! 🐾

As we wrap up August and our focus on skin health, we’re also heading into a time of year when seasonal allergies can become a bigger concern for our pets. If your dog is constantly scratching, licking, chewing, or rubbing, there may be more going on than just an occasional itch.

The Zoetis Itchy Dog Vet Prep Checklist can help you keep track of your pet’s symptoms, habits, and anything you’ve noticed at home before their appointment. Those little details can be helpful when we’re working to figure out what’s causing the itch and how we can help. 💚

Vet Mystery Monday: How Do You Think This Happened?

Take a look at this horse’s leg! It developed a large, fluid-filled swelling after an injury in the field.

How do you think this happened?

Was it a kick? A bump? Fly bite? Or something else?

Watch the video to see what Dr. Jack found and how she treated it!

Maggie may be looking a little sleepy, but this brave girl is one tough pug! After surgery to remove a bladder stone the size of a ping-pong ball, she’s resting and recovering like the little trooper she is. 💕
