🌸🐴 Spring Vaccinations: Protect Your Horse for the Season Ahead! 🩺💉

As the weather warms up and horses spend more time outside, spring vaccinations are a crucial part of keeping them healthy and ready for the season ahead! 🌿☀️

✅ Why Vaccinate in Spring?
• Warmer temps = increased exposure to mosquitoes & insects 🦟 (carriers of West Nile & EEE/WEE)
• More travel & events = higher risk of equine influenza & strangles 🏇
• A strong immune system prevents costly illnesses and keeps your horse performing at its best 💪

💉 Core Vaccines Your Horse May Need:
✔️ West Nile Virus
✔️ Eastern/Western Equine Encephalomyelitis (EEE/WEE)
✔️ Tetanus
✔️ Rabies

📅 Don't forget risk-based vaccines! If your horse travels, competes, or is exposed to new horses, flu, rhino, and strangles may also be recommended.

🔔 Book your spring wellness check & vaccines today! A healthy horse is a happy horse! 🐎

Is your horse on Prascend?
If so, you may have been like this owner and put their horses pills pre-broken in half in a convenient container in the barn. Or maybe you prepare feed bags with all medications already in them.
You may inadvertently be making your medicine less effective. Pergolide aka the drug name for Prascend is very finicky and needs to be protected from light and air. The blister pack is filled with nitrogen and blocks UV rays. They can start to lose their effectiveness after only 24 hours of being out of the blister pack.

🥶 5 Surprising Ways to Keep Your Pets Safe in Bitter Cold Weather ❄️

Cold temperatures can be just as dangerous for pets as extreme heat! Beyond the usual “bring them inside,” here are five lesser-known ways to keep your furry friends safe and warm this winter:

1️⃣ Limit Outdoor Time, But Keep Them Moving – Quick potty breaks are best in freezing temps, but light activity (like a short walk or playtime indoors) helps keep circulation up and body heat flowing.

2️⃣ Moisturize Those Paws! – Dry, cracked paw pads are painful and prone to injury. A little pet-safe balm before and after walks can protect against salt, ice, and cold surfaces.

3️⃣ Layer Up—But Watch for Wetness – A warm, well-fitted coat helps short-haired dogs, but if it gets wet from snow, it can actually make them colder. Always dry them off when they come inside!

4️⃣ Check for Hidden Hitchhikers – Ice chunks, salt, and chemical de-icers can get stuck in paws and fur. Wipe them down after every trip outside to prevent irritation (or accidental ingestion!).

5️⃣ Warm Up Food & Water – Cold water discourages drinking, which can lead to dehydration. Offering slightly warmed water and wet food can encourage hydration and help maintain body temperature.

Winter safety is all about preparation! Keep your pets warm, dry, and cozy, and they’ll be ready to enjoy the season safely. 🐶🐱
