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.

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.
