✨ Team Spotlight & Continuing Education ✨

Our Practice Manager, Barb, recently traveled to Orlando, Florida to attend VMX (Veterinary Meeting & Expo)—one of the largest veterinary conferences in the world! 🐾

VMX brings together veterinary professionals from across the globe for hands-on learning, educational sessions, and the latest innovations in veterinary medicine, technology, and practice management. Barb spent time learning new strategies, connecting with industry experts, and gathering fresh ideas to help our clinic continue providing the best possible care for our patients and clients.

We’re proud to invest in continuing education and bring that knowledge back to our team and community! 💙🐶🐱

Cold weather alert ‼️🥶

This weekend is bringing temperatures well into the negatives, so here are some tips to keep your horses safe during the upcoming dangerous cold:

❄️Make sure horses have access to an unfrozen water source

❄️Horses should be blanketed, especially aged horses, horses with a low body condition score, and horses that have an insufficient hair coat

❄️Add a tablespoon of table salt to your horses grain twice daily to encourage water consumption

❄️The wind chills are expected to be near 40 below so horses must have access to shelter from the wind

❄️Horses generate heat by digesting hay, so provide free choice hay

Any further questions please don’t hesitate to contact your vet!

Foaling season is right around the corner, is your foaling kit stocked and ready to go?

This graphic lists a few essentials for you to include in your kit to be prepared. Having these items ready several weeks before your mare's due date will mean less stress and scrambling at the last minute.

As always, your veterinarian is your best source of information. Consult your vet for additional recommendations for your kit and for training on how to properly use these tools to assist your mare during and after delivery!
