As many of you have become aware, this year there has been an unprecedented amount of horses with EEE in the Ottawa Valley. It is about 90 % fatal. We usually only see a large amount of cases about every 8 years however 2023 was also a high year for cases! Previously it was 2014. Since our climate is warming we are concerned this could become a trend. In areas where EEE is common, and since the young horses seem to be inflicted more often, there is a general recommendation for horses under 3 or 4 to be vaccinated twice a year for EEE. If you would like this added protection for your young horse, please give us a call.

July 15th is National Pet Fire Safety Day.
Include your pet into your family emergency plan and practice taking them with you. Talk with your family members to determine who is responsible for grabbing your pets and who should grab their supplies (food, medication, photo, leashes and carriers, medical records) during an emergency so you can reduce scrambling and redundancy when speed and efficiency are needed.
Put a decal in your home’s front window indicating the number and type of pets you have – Providing this information can cut down on the time responders spend searching your home in the case of a fire. If you can evacuate with your pets, remove the sticker on your way out, this minimizes 1st responders looking for pets that are no longer there.
Make sure your pet’s updated contact information is reflected on their ID collar and in the microchip database – If your pet gets lost during a fire, this will help rescuers get him or her back to you.
Use monitored smoke detectors that are connected to emergency responders – Should a fire start while you are away from your home, you’ll rest assured that your pet has access to emergency response services even if no one is home to call them.
Know your pets’ hideaways and create ways for you to easily access them in case of an emergency – It’s nice that your pet can get away if he or she wants to, but in an emergency, you need to be able to locate and extract your pet as quickly as possible.
