Meet Sparky, a lovable pitbull who’s still learning the importance of a good mani-pedi!

During his recent nail trim, he turned it into a wrestling match, complete with a gator roll! While he’s not a fan of the nail clippers yet, we’re committed to easing his anxiety with treats and positive reinforcement.

Regular nail trims are essential for his health and happiness, and we’re confident that with patience and love, Sparky will soon understand that it’s all about keeping him happy and healthy. Here’s to smoother nail sessions ahead!

Regular pregnancy checks are crucial for managing your cattle breeding program and ensuring the future productivity of your cows. With Dr. Wesley’s expertise, our clients can more accurately determine which cows are expecting and make informed decisions about breeding strategies. This proactive approach not only optimizes our herd's genetic potential but also helps in planning for the upcoming calving season.

Parasite control is just as vital. Internal and external parasites can significantly impact the health of your cattle, leading to reduced weight gain and overall productivity. By working closely with a veterinarian, you can implement a comprehensive parasite management program tailored to your herd's specific needs. This includes regular deworming schedules and monitoring for signs of infestations, ensuring our cows stay healthy and strong.

By prioritizing these health measures, our clients are investing in the long-term sustainability of their ranch. A healthy herd means less reproduction complications, higher-quality beef, and a more successful operation overall.

These are just a few reasons working hand in hand with a veterinarian will help secure a bright future for your cattle and our ranching community!

This week, had a visit from Tottie, who came in with a fractured toe nail. Our team was quick to assess her injury and provide the care she needed.

Before sending Tottie home, we set her up with a pain management plan so she can continue to heal in the comfort of her own space. With a little TLC and some rest, we’re confident she’ll be back to her playful self in no time!

Thank you, Tottie, for being such a trooper! Sending you lots of healing vibes!

Whether we hate it or love it, cleaning is an important task we need to take care of. A clean environment is essential for positive mental and physical health. Before you break out the heavy-duty cleaners, did you forget anyone? That's right, your furry friend! Certain cleaning products can contain dangerous chemicals that are especially harmful to animals. Common offenders are bleach, drain cleaners, and stain removers. Below are some ingredients to look out for and avoid. If you're not sure which products are safe to use around your pets, give us a call at 501-268-5381.
