Seasonally Relevant
Companion Animals: As summer continues, we see an increase in allergy-related issues among pets at this time. If your dog is scratching more than usual, has sore or smelly ears, or is experiencing red, irritated skin or paws, book a consult with one of our veterinarians. We’ll help create an effective treatment plan to keep your pet comfortable and healthy.
With the holiday season here, many pets will need to stay in kennels or catteries. To ensure smooth check-ins, it’s important that their vaccinations are up to date. Since kennel vaccination requirements vary, it’s helpful to confirm specific needs with your chosen kennel. For the best protection, animals should be fully vaccinated at least three days before entering a kennel. To schedule vaccinations for your cat or dog, give us a call today!
Production Animals: As summer progresses, spore counts tend to rise. Monitoring our weekly spore count updates can help you identify trends specific to your area, providing valuable insights when determining the best time to initiate treatment. If you have any questions on when to treat or treatment options, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
If you haven't already now is the time book your pregnancy testing date to ensure you secure your preferred timing. This is also a convenient opportunity to vaccinate the herd for lepto. To schedule your pregnancy testing and vaccination, please get in touch as soon as possible.
