As of 8:00am on Tuesday, September 10th we will officially be CLOSED due to impending storm condition. It is our concern for the Staff and Clients of Country Place that we have made this decision. Please if you need anxiety medications, refills on prescribed medications or have a need for your pet to be seen CALL as soon as possible so we can accommodate as much as possible. At this time we are hoping to open Friday but that will depend on road closures, electricity, and employee safety.

09/09/2024

With a strong possibility of bad weather mid week be sure to refill your medications and also those for your pets. Don't for get the medications for those storm phobia pets! Also work on securing a safe place for your outdoor animals. Preparation is the key!!

09/09/2024

EDIT: UPDATE 9-9-2024 5:30pm
As this storm appears to be getting bigger and stronger the plan has changed. We will aim for closing at 10:00am on Wednesday and may not even open on Wednesday depending on how things change overnight. Please start your preparations now and if you need any medications call for refills early tomorrow or send a text to 337-394-6296

As of Monday, September 9th our plans are to close at noon on Wednesday and re-open on Friday. As we all know this can change hourly! For Friday appointments please call before coming to be sure that we are able to open. Reasons not to be able to open on Friday will include lack of electricity, closed roads, lack of employees due to damage at their homes, and of course flooding.

Sit Happens Dog Training - We make Sit Happen! Training with results!

Great job. Everyone will be happier with better manners.

Prince, the 4 year old rescue Dachshund, recently completed his private training lessons for behavior modification. Prior to training he displayed aggression to guests and on leash. He has made tremendous improvement with the use of systematic desensitization and counter-conditioning. He also learned how to solve puzzle toys, settle on his bed, touch, and walk politely on his leash. Great Job, Prince!

For our horse owners

As cases of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) are on the rise, it remains critically important that horse owners take steps to protect their equine friends (and their families) from mosquito bites. If you live in a region where mosquito populations persist well into the fall months, your veterinarian may recommend additional fall booster vaccinations against EEE/WEE and WNV (West Nile Virus).

If you don't know your horse's vaccination history or you are unsure whether they have received a certain vaccine, it's not too late to start from scratch with an initial series of inoculations followed by the appropriate boosters, as recommended by your horse doctor.

So, what is Eastern Equine Encephalitis?

EEE is a severe, viral disease affecting the central nervous system, and is transmitted to equids (and humans) by infected mosquitoes. There is no cure for EEE, and the mortality rate is 75-95% (in horses). Prevention through vaccination is key.

Contact your veterinarian for more information, or learn more about EEE with the following resources:
