Thank you to SunCatcher Therapeutic Riding Academy for having the Driftwood Vet Team out!

This visit was a great reminder of why routine dental care is so important—especially for senior horses. During our exams, we found multiple changes in the horse's teeth including diastemata (gapping between teeth that traps food) and cupping (worn-down chewing surfaces), both of which are shown below.⬇️

These are very common findings during equine dental exams, especially in older horses. Left untreated, they can lead to pain, weight loss, and difficulty chewing.

Preventive care makes a huge difference!

Take a look at the photos below to see the Driftwood Vet Team in action!🤩

Now’s the time to schedule your spring dentals and vaccines for horses young and old!
Our schedule is filling up fast—call today to get on the books: 605-923-8928📞

Let’s keep those smiles healthy!

Dr. Shutter will be out of town from December 7th through December 16th to attend a conference for continuing education, followed by a well-deserved family vacation!

During this time, Hannah will still be answering phones during our regular business hours, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

We’ll resume taking appointments on December 17th, just in time to help with any last-minute needs for your animals before the holidays. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you on the road!

Happy Halloween from Driftwood Vet! Make sure to keep your cats inside, your dogs out of the candy, and your horses from spooking at ghosts and gobblins! 🎃👻

Our final spotlight goes to our office manager, assistant, fixer of all things, and jack of all trades: Andy!

Andy takes care of much of our behind-the-scenes work but is a true chameleon, stepping in wherever and whenever he’s needed. You might catch him on the road, answering phones, or working on projects for the business. On top of all that, he’s also a full-time trainer for our youngest "assistants"— Brooklyn (9) and Daelyn (1.5) —who always keep us on our toes!

We’re grateful for Andy and everything he does to keep Driftwood Vet (and our family) operating smoothly!

At Driftwood Vet, we wouldn’t be able to survive without our incredible team members. Today, we’re shining the spotlight on one of our newest veterinary assistants, Clara!

Clara has been with us for a couple of months and is on the road with Dr. Shutter every day, assisting with various procedures and treatments. Her curiosity and enthusiasm for learning make her a fantastic addition to our team, and we’re so grateful for all she brings to the clinic!

Here’s a little more about Clara in her own words:
"I grew up in Wisconsin and just recently moved to South Dakota with my fiancé, Ben, and our two very spoiled border collies, Birdie and Dish. I went to the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and earned my degree in Equine/Meat Animal Science! My many passions include reading, playing guitar, drawing, and animals of all shapes and sizes."

It’s Veterinary Technician/Assistant Week! At Driftwood Vet, we wouldn’t be able to thrive without our incredible team members. Today, we’re shining the spotlight on one of our amazing veterinary assistants, Hannah!

Hannah has been with us for over two years. Many of you have already met her on the road, but these days you'll find her balancing mom life while handling phones and emails for Driftwood Vet. We’re so grateful for Hannah and her cheerful, bubbly personality!

Here’s a little more about Hannah:
"I was born in Virginia but have lived in South Dakota for most of my life. I love going on long walks with my baby boy, playing volleyball, and cooking. My favorite part about working with Driftwood Vet is building great relationships with our clients."
