One of our clients found and rescued this sweet kitten from the side of the road. At the time, she had a severe upper respiratory infection and infected wounds. They have been taking wonderful care of her and she is on the mend, but are unable to keep her. She is approximately 7 weeks old.

Please let us know if you are interested in adopting her by text at 931-797-4054, and we will get you in touch with her foster family.

This sweet puppy named Winnie received her last round of puppy vaccines a couple of weeks ago. Puppy vaccines are especially important because it helps the puppy gain at least some immunity to several life threatening diseases.

Getting every booster vaccine is also important because we don't know exactly when the antibodies they received from their mother will be completely gone. Maternal antibodies are protective, but are short-lived. Through various studies, they have discovered that the longest they will stick around is 13-14 weeks. Therefore, that's why we recommend getting the last round of vaccines around 15 weeks of age. Before those antibodies are gone, they actually kill most components of the vaccine so that the puppy doesn't produce antibodies/immunity of it's own. Therefore, the puppy must receive a vaccine after the maternal antibodies are gone in order to mount a response and create long lasting antibodies.

If you have questions about the importance of vaccines and/or boosters, please let us know with a call, text, or email!

As mentioned in our post earlier this week about EEE, summer and fall are the peak time for arbovirus infection as these diseases (which include Eastern Equine Encephalitis [EEE], West Nile Virus [WNV], Western Equine Encephalitis [WEE] and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis [VEE]) are transmitted by several different species of mosquitoes and biting insects.

Let this graphic serve as a source of more information about West Nile Virus (WNV) as well as a reminder to keep your equines up to date on vaccinations with the guidance of your veterinarian to best protect your animals from infection.

Learn more about West Nile Virus and find downloadable resources on the Equine Disease Communication Center's website at: https://www.equinediseasecc.org/west-nile-virus

This year has been particularly bad for internal parasites in sheep and goats due to our very rainy spring and early summer. We highly recommend looking into this product as we have seen very good results with several herds.

Also, we highly recommend the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control website for additional help with parasite control.

The most important part of parasite management is good management year-round: checking FAMACHA scores regularly, products like bioworma, rotational grazing, etc.

If you'd like to set up a farm consult to discuss your specific herd's needs, please let us know.

We are getting lots of recommendations for boarding and grooming, but we'd like to hear about other businesses, too! Maybe where you purchase collars, homemade dog treats, birthday cakes, training, etc.

Also, don't forget pet friendly businesses even if they don't sell pet supplies!

As a locally owned business, we love to support other locally owned businesses. We would love to hear some of your favorite locally owned businesses that are pet friendly! Also, please let us know your favorite locally owned places for grooming, supplies, boarding, training, etc.

We are considering putting together some type of contest soon with a prize basket that may include gift cards from some of the places that are recommended here! So, be sure to mention your favorites!

Dr. Ashlee and her team had a wonderful and successful week in Sanders, AZ on her Christian veterinary mission trip!

Some Mission Trip Numbers:
13 Dog Spays
15 Dog Neuters
169 Dog Rabies Vaccines
12 Cat Spays
14 Cat Neuters
57 Cat Rabies Vaccines
286 Sheep/Goat Vaccines and Deworm
14 Cattle Vaccines and Deworm
24 Horse Vaccines
Most importantly, 4 nights of fellowship and Bible study with the Sanders and surrounding community members.

While we were there, just north of Sanders there was a large (>10,000 acre) wildfire. It has since been contained, but it has hit that community hard. There are still several wildfires ongoing in Arizona, so please pray for containment and rain.

Thanks for all the support and prayers for this and future trips!
