This warmer weather has everyone thinking spring and we love it too. But even when it feels like spring, and even when it feels like winter, parasites do not take a season off.

Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes can survive indoors, hide in garages, under decks, and in leaf piles, and become active again during mild spells. That means pets in NW Ohio and SE Michigan can be exposed year-round.

Why consistent prevention matters:
• Fleas and ticks can live inside heated homes
• Parasites can go dormant and reappear on warmer days
• Wildlife can bring parasites into your yard
• Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes, which can survive longer than many people realize
• Even indoor-only pets can be exposed when parasites hitch a ride inside

What we recommend:
• Keep your pet on veterinarian-recommended monthly prevention all year
• Check your pet’s coat after outdoor time
• Wash pet bedding and vacuum regularly
• Schedule routine wellness exams and screenings

Year-round prevention is one of the simplest ways to protect your pet from serious, preventable disease. If you’re not sure which option is best for your pet, we’re happy to help.

Spring is right around the corner, and now is the perfect time to get your horses on the schedule.

Spring is one of our busiest seasons. Once the weather breaks, appointments fill quickly, so we strongly encourage scheduling early. We can often combine services when time allows to make your visit as efficient as possible.

To qualify for emergency coverage and prescription refills, every horse patient must have a wellness exam once per year. If your horse receives an annual dental float with us, that wellness exam is included and not charged separately.

Spring services commonly include:
-Annual wellness exams
-Equine dental floats and sedated oral exams
-Vaccinations based on lifestyle and travel level
-Coggins testing (rush testing available for an additional fee)
-Health certificates
-F***l egg count testing

Horses are very good at hiding pain. As prey animals, they often show discomfort through subtle changes rather than obvious signs.

Things like a shift in attitude, reluctance to move, stiffness, weight shifting, sensitivity to grooming, or changes in eating habits are not just quirks or bad days. They can be early signs your horse is uncomfortable.

Other quiet clues include muscle tremors, unusual sweating, teeth grinding, squinting eyes, or lying down more than normal.

If something about your horse feels off, it probably is. Catching pain early regularly leads to easier treatment and better long-term comfort.

January is Walk Your Dog Month, and it is the perfect time to start building healthy habits for both you and your pup.

If getting your steps in is part of your New Year resolution, your dog would love to help.

Cold weather can make it tempting to stay on the couch, but dogs need regular exercise all year long. Even a short walk around the block on a cold day makes a difference. It keeps joints moving, supports a healthy weight, provides mental stimulation, and helps burn off energy.

You do not have to go far or stay out long. Short, consistent walks are key, especially during winter. Bundle up, protect those paws, and keep moving together.

Start the year with a simple pledge. Better health for you and better health for your dog.

Winter can be especially challenging for older pets and animals with ongoing health conditions. A few thoughtful adjustments can make a big difference in keeping them comfortable and safe through the colder months.

Limit time outside
Senior pets and animals with arthritis, heart conditions, or respiratory concerns are more sensitive to cold. Short, intentional trips outdoors are best.

Protect paws
Snow, ice, and road salt can irritate and crack paw pads. Wipe paws after walks and consider pet safe booties or paw balm.

Support mobility
Cold weather often increases stiffness and joint pain. Non-slip rugs, runners, and help on steps or slick floors can prevent falls.

Keep them warm
Cozy beds off cold floors, extra blankets, and sweaters for thin coated pets help maintain body heat.

Watch food and water intake
Some pets drink less in winter. Encourage hydration and pay attention to changes in appetite or energy levels.

Never leave pets in the cold
Even short exposure to freezing temperatures in vehicles or outdoors can be dangerous for vulnerable animals.

If your pet seems slower, uncomfortable, or has special medical needs, winter is a great time to check in!

The holidays bring extra joy, visitors, decorations, and treats but they also bring a few hidden risks for pets. Being aware now can prevent an emergency later!

Here are a few things to watch for this season:
• Keep stockings, wrapped gifts, and ribbons out of reach. Strings, tinsel, and fabric can cause dangerous intestinal blockages.
• Avoid sharing holiday foods. Chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, alcohol, fatty foods, and cooked bones are all toxic or risky for pets.
• Secure Christmas trees and décor. Ornaments, hooks, lights, and water from tree stands can all cause injury or illness.
• Provide a quiet space. Extra guests and noise can increase anxiety for pets who are sensitive to change.
• Watch doors closely. With more people coming and going, escapes happen more often than you think.

Call a veterinarian immediately if your pet shows:
• Repeated vomiting or diarrhea
• Trouble breathing
• Severe lethargy or collapse
• Abdominal pain or bloating
• Ingestion of something they should not have eaten

Wishing you and your pets a safe, calm, and joyful holiday season!

Winter weather and the holiday season can both increase the risk of pet emergencies. Between icy conditions, power outages, travel disruptions, and holiday hazards like pets getting into food they should not eat, accidents can happen quickly.

While Oliver Mobile Veterinary Services provides mobile in-home care, some situations require an emergency or specialty hospital. If your regular veterinarian is unavailable or a problem cannot wait, keeping these emergency contacts saved ahead of time is important.

Dr. Oliver recently traveled to the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital for an intensive continuing education lab focused on advanced equine dental extraction techniques. This two-day, hands-on training was led by some of the top experts in the field and covered treatment planning for challenging cases, regional nerve blocks, intraoral extraction methods, coronectomy, tooth sectioning, and the minimally invasive transbuccal screw extraction technique. It also included training on using radiology and endoscopy to guide safer, more precise extractions.

This experience allows Dr. Oliver to bring the highest standard of equine dental care directly to the farms and barns we serve. Continuing education is an essential part of providing safe, effective, and up-to-date veterinary care, and we’re proud to offer these advanced capabilities to our clients throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan!

If your horse is due for a dental exam or you have concerns about dental pain, performance changes, or eating difficulties, we’re here to help.

EHV, or equine herpesvirus, is a contagious disease that can impact horses through both respiratory and neurologic symptoms. Since it spreads through close contact and shared airspace, early recognition is essential for protecting your barn, herd, and events.
