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.

Fall is rolling in, and with it comes cooler temps, more time in the barn, and new challenges for your horse’s respiratory system. October 26–November 1 is Equine Respiratory Health Awareness Week, making it the perfect time to give your horse’s lungs a little extra attention.

Dust, mold, and poor ventilation can all irritate your horse’s airways and affect performance. A few simple steps this season can make a big difference in keeping them breathing comfortably:
Keep barns clean and ventilated. Fresh bedding, open windows, and airflow help reduce dust buildup and stale air.

-Check hay quality. As hay supplies turn over, watch for mold or excessive dust. Soaking hay before feeding can help minimize irritation.
-Watch for early signs. A subtle cough, nasal discharge, or just a little less energy than usual can all be early signs of a respiratory issue.
-Reduce allergens. Clean up leaf piles, sweep barn aisles, and keep feed storage areas dry and well-sealed.
-Schedule a respiratory wellness check if you see any issues. Dr. Oliver can assess lung sounds, evaluate airway health, and help you catch small problems before they become bigger ones.

Cooler temps and crunchy leaves mean fall is here... but some seasonal changes can pose hidden risks for our pets.

As you enjoy this time of year, keep these common fall hazards in mind:
-Mushrooms: Many wild mushrooms are toxic to dogs and cats, and they tend to pop up after damp weather. It’s best to assume any mushroom in your yard or along the trail could be dangerous and remove it right away.
-Antifreeze: Even a small amount of antifreeze can be deadly if ingested. Keep bottles tightly sealed and clean up any spills immediately — it has a sweet taste that can attract curious pets.
-Candy & Halloween Treats: Chocolate, sugar-free candy (especially those containing xylitol), and candy wrappers can all cause serious health issues. Keep all candy bowls and trick-or-treat stashes well out of reach.
-Cold Weather Arthritis Flare-Ups: Cooler temperatures can make joints stiff and sore, especially in older pets. If your dog or cat seems reluctant to move or play, schedule a wellness check — Dr. Oliver can recommend supplements or adjustments to help them feel their best.
-Bonfires & Decorations: Open flames, string lights, and seasonal décor can all tempt curious pets. Supervise outdoor gatherings and make sure your pet has a safe, quiet spot to retreat from the excitement.

Taking a few precautions can make all the difference for a safe and happy fall season.

As cooler weather arrives, many horse owners wonder if it is time to start blanketing. While a warm blanket may feel comforting to us, not every horse needs one.

When blanketing may be helpful:
-Horses that are clipped and no longer have a full winter coat
-Older horses or those with difficulty keeping weight on
-Horses with certain health conditions that prevent them from regulating body temperature
-Horses that are exposed to cold rain, wet snow, or strong winds without shelter

When blanketing is not necessary:
-Healthy horses with a full winter coat and access to shelter usually do not need a blanket, even in chilly weather
-Over-blanketing can actually cause a horse to overheat and sweat, which can make them colder once the sweat dries

Tips for safe blanketing:
-Always use a blanket designed for horses, fitted properly to avoid rubs or sores
-Check daily to make sure it is secure and not trapping moisture underneath
-Adjust the weight of the blanket to match the weather, not just the calendar
-Remove the blanket regularly to check your horse’s body condition and coat

Every horse is different, and the decision to blanket depends on age, health, body condition, and environment. The most important thing is to keep your horse comfortable without interfering with their natural ability to grow and use a winter coat.

As pastures thin out and horses transition to hay for the colder months, it is important to make sure what you are feeding is safe and nutritious. Hay is the foundation of your horse’s diet through fall and winter, so quality matters.

What to look for when checking hay:
-Smell: Good hay should have a clean, fresh smell. A musty or moldy odor is a warning sign.
-Color: Green hay usually means higher nutrient content. Brown, sun-bleached hay may be less nutritious.
-Texture: Leaves should be soft and flexible. Overly coarse stems can be harder to chew and digest.
-Mold and Dust: Break open a bale to check for hidden mold or excess dust, both of which can irritate your horse’s respiratory system.

Why it matters:
Feeding poor-quality hay can lead to weight loss, colic, or nutrient deficiencies. Investing the time to check and test your hay now ensures your horse stays healthy and strong throughout the winter.

Contact Oliver Mobile Veterinary Services at 419-345-1093 for guidance on winter nutrition planning.

Fall Reminder: Don’t Stop Flea, Tick, and Parasite Prevention!

As the temperatures begin to drop, many assume it is safe to put away flea, tick, and parasite medications until spring. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Parasites remain active well into the fall, and some can survive during mild Ohio winters.

Why prevention still matters in the fall:
-Ticks can stay active until temperatures consistently drop below freezing. They often hide in leaf piles, brush, and wooded areas where dogs and outdoor cats love to explore.
-Fleas can survive indoors year-round, especially in warm homes. Even one missed dose can lead to an infestation that is difficult and costly to treat.
-Mosquitoes, which transmit heartworm, may still be around on warmer fall days. Heartworm is a serious disease that can be fatal if left untreated.

The risk of stopping too early:
-Stopping preventatives too soon creates a window where parasites can infect your pet, leading to itchy skin, illness, or more serious health problems. Treating these issues is much more challenging (and expensive) than preventing them.

What you can do:
-Continue flea, tick, and heartworm medications every month, all year long.
-Ask Dr. Oliver about the best products for your pet’s lifestyle and environment.
-Keep your yard clear of leaf litter and standing water, which are common breeding grounds for pests.

We believe prevention is one of the most important steps you can take to keep your pets safe and healthy. Don’t let the cooler weather fool you into stopping early. Call us at 419-345-1093 or visit www.olivermobilevet.com to make sure your pets stay protected this fall and beyond.

3 years ago I joined a business group for equine veterinarians. When asked why we were there, 99.9% of the group (myself included) said they wanted to run their business better so they could find time to ride their own horse.😂 We finished our last meeting in Montana and we even got a chance to ride together! (even Brian)! I have met some of the best colleagues and now friends. Thank you Decade One!

Meet Dr. Alison Oliver – The Face of Oliver Mobile Vet!

Dr. Oliver’s passion for veterinary medicine started early, tagging along with her dad on farm calls and helping in his clinic. From those childhood days in Adrian, Michigan, she went on to earn her degree from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine and build a career spanning Connecticut, Virginia, and now Northwest Ohio.

In 2015, she founded Oliver Mobile Veterinary Services to provide personalized, convenient care for pets and horses right where they’re most comfortable… at home.

Today, Dr. Oliver lives on a small farm outside Toledo with her husband, three daughters, and a fun mix of animals: three dogs, one cat, four horses, bunnies, and chickens.
