👋Everyone meet Rylee!👋

Rylee came in to see us a few weeks ago to get her yearly check up and vaccinations. Rylee is also on our two injectable prevenatives for heartworms and fleas/ticks.

💉These preventatives are ProHeart 12 and Bravecro Quantum. Both of these are injectable and they last a year. So if you are bad about giving the monthly preventatives or your pet just hates them, we strongly recommend going this route. 💉

☎️Call our office today for more information or to schedule your appointment. ☎️

📝Give your breeding program the best start - schedule a Breeding Soundness Examination today!📝

🔸️What's the importance of a BSE? It catches subjective or infertile bulls, prevents wasted feed and open cows, saves thousands in lost revenue and ensures a tight, efficient calving window.

📱Call our office today for more information or to schedule that appointment. 📱
