Yeehaw! 🤠 Bella the 9-week-old Australian Shepherd moseyed into the clinic today for her very first round of DHPP vaccinations and dewormer. She also got started on her NexGard Plus prevention to keep her healthy on the range! We just couldn't handle the cuteness of her rocking that cowgirl hat. There's a new sheriff in town! 🐶❤️

New World Screwworm (NWS) is a reportable condition (this is a pest that causes infections in both animals and humans) that has been largely eradicated from the United States… however a case was confirmed in Texas on June 3, 2026.

This is a devastating pest that is spread by flies.

This affects all pet owners, as this condition can affect dogs and cats. Keeping your pets on Nexgaurd plus or combo (or whichever approved parasite prevention you and your veterinarian have chosen) is more important that ever. Nexgard (along with several other anti-parasitics) are on the FDA approved list of drugs to treat and prevent NWS.

Reach out to us if you have any questions about this condition and how it may affect your animals. Please visit the links attached to learn more about this.
