Some really good info from our friends in north Idaho!

No Fleas? That Doesn’t Mean Your Pet Is in the Clear!

One of the biggest myths in pet care is:
“I don’t see fleas, so my pet doesn’t need flea prevention.”

The truth? Fleas are incredibly good at hiding.

By the time you notice:

* Excessive scratching
* Flea dirt (tiny black specks)
* Hair loss
* Skin infections

…you may already have a full-blown infestation in your home.

**Only about 5% of the flea population lives on your pet.**
The other 95% exists as eggs, larvae, and pupae in your carpets, bedding, furniture, and yard.

That means your pet can be exposed even if you never spot a single flea.

And fleas are more than just a nuisance—they can cause:

* Severe itching and allergies
* Tapeworm infections
* Anemia, especially in puppies and kittens
* Transmission of diseases

**The best approach is prevention, not reaction.**

Veterinary-approved flea and tick preventives are safe, effective, and much easier than trying to eliminate an infestation after it starts.

Your pet may look perfectly fine, but consistent prevention is one of the simplest ways to keep them healthy and comfortable.

SPOTLIGHT ON SGLVC STAFF:

Cassidy recently returned to Oklahoma and South Grand Lake Veterinary Clinic after a two-year hiatus, and we are absolutely thrilled to have her back! Prior to her return, Cassidy worked with our team for more than three years and credits Dr. Broaddus for helping shape her technical skills and veterinary knowledge.

Born in Tulsa and raised in Vinita, Cassidy graduated from Vinita High School before attending Northeastern State University, where she studied biology for two years. Her love for animals extends beyond the clinic, as she shares her home with her cat, Tido, and her German Shepherd/Husky mix, Tyson.

Cassidy has a true passion for communicating with clients and is often the warm, friendly voice you hear when calling the clinic. Her bubbly personality and positive attitude make her a joy to be around, both for clients and coworkers alike. In addition to her client communication skills, Cassidy works hard behind the scenes to help keep the clinic’s daily schedule running smoothly.

When she is not working or dog-sitting, Cassidy enjoys spending time with family and taking her pets on adventures. She especially loves fishing, golfing, and any activity that involves being out on the lake.

Please join us in welcoming Cassidy back to the team!

SPOTLIGHT ON SGLVC STAFF:

Please meet Will (pictured with clinic cat Hambre):

Will is one of our fabulous veterinary assistants; he recently moved to Oklahoma after growing up in Texas. After graduating high school, he attended Louisiana State University where he received a B.A in Music and a B.S. in Animal Science.

Will has 4 dogs and 1 cat and he enjoys working out and playing video games in his downtime.

We are so pleased that Will is part of our team. The girls appreciate his strength, and Dr. Broaddus appreciates not being the only guy in the clinic! More importantly, we appreciate Will's calm and caring approach with our patients. Will puts his heart into what he does and it shows. He is trustworthy and reliable and a very valuable asset to SGLVC!

PSA from your friendly local vet clinic about tick-borne diseases.

03/22/2026

PSA: We want to make our clients aware that we have recently seen a patient diagnosed with leptospirosis.

Leptospirosis is a serious bacterial disease that can affect dogs and may also pose a risk to people. It is commonly spread through contact with contaminated water, wildlife, or infected urine.

To help protect your pets, we strongly encourage all dog owners to make sure their dogs are current on their leptospirosis vaccination. Vaccination is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of infection.

If you are unsure whether your dog is up to date, please contact our clinic. We are happy to review your pet’s vaccine history and help you determine whether a booster is needed.

Please also remember to avoid letting dogs drink from or play in standing water whenever possible.

If your dog is showing signs such as lethargy, vomiting, fever, decreased appetite, or increased thirst, please don't hesitate to contact us right away.

Thank you!
Dr. Broaddus and staff

We are going to try to close our clinic by early afternoon today so that our staff can get home safely in advance of the expected winter storm; we will then stay closed throughout the weekend. If you need any food or medication before the storm hits, please call our clinic as soon as possible so we can make arrangements for you to pick those up.

If you should have any veterinary emergencies over the weekend, please call any of the pet emergency clinics or urgent care clinics in Tulsa. They will have staff on-site throughout the storm.

Please stay warm and safe, and make sure to bring all of your furry friends inside 🙂
