In California, annual dental check-ups and floating are not just recommended; they are the bare minimum required by state law to ensure the well-being of horses. This legal mandate underscores the importance of regular dental care as a fundamental aspect of equine health management. By adhering to these regulations, horse owners can prevent serious dental issues that can lead to pain, weight loss, and other health complications. Regular dental care, including annual inspections and floating, is crucial for maintaining the overall health and quality of life for horses, particularly as they age.

Maintaining proper dental care in horses is vital for their overall health and well-being. While young horses often have fewer dental issues, older horses are more susceptible to developing problems that can significantly impact their quality of life. Annual dental check-ups are crucial for preventing and addressing these issues.

The frequency of floating varies based on several factors:

Age: Older horses are more likely to develop dental issues and may require more frequent floating.

Diet: Horses that consume softer feeds may not naturally wear down their teeth as effectively as those that graze on tougher, fibrous materials.

Environment: Horses in environments where they chew on hard objects, like wood or fences, might experience different wear patterns requiring more frequent dental care.

It is crucial to have a veterinarian inspect a horse's teeth at least once a year. This annual examination allows the vet to assess the condition of the teeth and determine if floating or other dental interventions are necessary. In some cases, more frequent check-ups may be required, particularly for horses with known dental issues or those showing signs of discomfort or difficulty eating.

Overall, maintaining regular dental care through annual inspections and timely floating is a key component of equine health management, ensuring that older horses remain comfortable and healthy.

Tuolumne County Animal Control would like to remind everyone to keep your pets safe during the holiday. Our animal control facility becomes the busiest day of the year after the 4th, due to many animals getting scared due to fireworks. Even though fireworks are illegal in Tuolumne County, people still light them off.

Fireworks, picnics and other Fourth of July traditions can be great fun for people. But all of the festivities can be frightening and even dangerous for animals. Noisy fireworks and other celebrations can startle animals and cause them to run away; holiday foods can be unhealthy; summer heat and travel can be dangerous; and potentially dangerous debris can end up lying on the ground where pets can eat or play with it.

Whether or not you're planning your own Independence Day celebration, it's important to take precautions to keep your pets safe both during and after Fourth of July festivities.

🔥 Protect Your Pets from Extreme Heat! 🌡️

With temperatures soaring into the 100s and up to 110 this week, it's crucial to keep our furry friends safe. High heat can be dangerous for pets, so here are some essential tips:

🚫 What NOT to Do:

• No Parking: Never leave your pet in a parked car, even for a few minutes. Temperatures inside cars can rise rapidly, leading to heatstroke or worse.

• Avoid Hot Pavement: Hot pavement can burn your pet's paws. Walk them in the early morning or late evening when it's cooler.

✅ How to Keep Them Cool:

• Hydration is Key: Ensure your pets have access to plenty of fresh water at all times.
• Cool Spaces: Keep them indoors in air-conditioned rooms or well-ventilated areas. If outside, provide shaded spots.
• Cooling Treats: Offer ice cubes or frozen treats to help them stay cool and hydrated.

Let's all make sure our pets stay safe and comfortable during this heatwave! 🐾❤️

Fourth of July celebrations can be fun for people, but they can be terrifying for some your pets and livestock, especially those who are skittish and noise-averse. Fireworks set off nearby can easily unnerve these sensitive animals.

For horses fearful of fireworks, it may be best to relocate them to a quieter ranch during the upcoming holiday. If you're concerned about your horse's reaction, take precautions to ensure everyone's safety. Place your horse in a familiar and secure location, such as a stall or a small paddock.

A panicked horse escaping down roads or into the wilderness, especially at night, can lead to accidents or death. Remember to thoroughly inspect the fence line and latches for any potential escape routes. Consider placing a radio nearby and turning up the volume.

For extremely skittish horses, you may want to talk to your veterinarian about sedation as an option. Remember that the administration of these medications needs to be timed with the fireworks display, and you'll need to monitor your horse closely while on medication.

ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN REDUCED TO $2500 SO WE CAN MAKE ROOM FOR NEW HORSES!
COWBOY IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!

Cowboy is 14 years old and 14.1 hands high
Here's what his trainer Dani Jeitz has to say about him...
Cowboy has impeccable ground manners. He can be difficult to catch, but once he knows you are safe, he will wait quietly for you to come to him.
He is light in the face. I have ridden him in a snaffle and correction bit. Both work nicely and he is comfortable in either of them. He takes a bit quietly. He does need a little work on his stop and backup, he has a stop, but he kind of runs it out. The first few times I saddled him, he moved around a bit, he now stands quietly as he knows I’m not going to over cinch or rush him. He does have a bit of anxiety in the arena but is head down and calm out on the trail. I don’t think he has a lot of trail experience, but he sure enjoys it. He’s seen a lot of new things, but never spooked and took everything in stride.
He walks out nicely, can lead, be in the middle or at the end. He has an amazing trot out on trail. His gaits seem to be more rushed and uncertain in the arena, though he does walk, trot and canter on the correct lead in both directions.
He stands quietly for a bath, grooming and braiding. You can clean his feet, put on boots (I used Cavallo’s as I was uncertain how he would fare barefoot at N. Shore Camanche).
Crosses water, though if deep enough he would like to stop for a quick roll. 😊
I have put quite a bit of time on this little guy in a week and he’s been up for all the challenges. We worked during the bad weather (wind), and he is solid. I really like this little gelding and he will make someone an amazing partner. I think he would do best with his own person out on trail while working up to more arena time.
Cowboy's adoption fee is $2500. Please visit our website at www.oakdaleequinerescue.com to fill out an application and adoption agreement with the name COWBOY at the top. If you have already completed an application, please contact Lora at 209 605 8302

🐐🌞 Hot weather can be tough on our goat friends, but with a little extra care, we can keep them cool and content! 💦🌿 Ensure a reliable source of shade throughout the day, whether it's natural shade from trees or purpose-built shelters. 💧🍏 Hydration is key, so make sure your goats have access to clean, cool water at all times. 🌬️🌡️ Promote airflow in their living area by using fans or strategically positioning their shelter.

A cow's wet nose is a remarkable feature that serves multiple purposes. It helps the cow to sense and explore its surroundings, acting as a highly sensitive organ. The moisture on the nose aids in capturing and detecting scents, allowing the cow to identify food, other animals, and potential dangers in its environment.

Hot weather is on its way. Remember, if you are heading out for a walk on cement or asphalt take your shoes off and stand barefoot on the roadway. If you can't stand comfortably, your dog can not stand on it either.

You can put shoes on them that will protect from both too hot and too cold walkways. Or walk early before the sun heats the road. Later in the day, the road may still be too hot even after dark.

We make sure to water down the asphalt close to the house before letting bare paws on it in the afternoon or evening.

Stay cool! Woof!

Meet our new office assistant, Bijou. She/he/it (very furry down there and squiggles too much) is our proud foster fail. B came to us as a 6-ish day old kitten resemblilng a black blob. Then we named it. Big mistake. lol

Bijou is proficient at walking across the keyboard right before one hits the send button, is self-taught litter box user, is quite ferocious and protects the house from scraps of paper, and loves dogs and cats.

Bijou will be finished with the last round of shots in a few days and will have his/her s*x verified (then removed - ouch) in a few weeks.

One of my ways to keep dogs and cats cool is to freeze diluted, no-salt-added chicken broth into silicone cupcake cups. It's a great cooling treat.

It's going to be HOT, HOT, HOT this week!! As an owner of a pet, you're responsible for their well-being, and keeping them cool. Dogs are especially sensitive to high temperatures, and can get heat stroke very easily. Heat stoke in dogs has a high fatality rate.

During excessive heat, we recommend keeping your pets inside (if possible). Set the thermostat to 78 or lower while gone. Allow fresh water access, and close curtains to keep your house cool.

For outdoor pets, always provide shade, fresh water, and access to air flow. Misters and kiddie pools work great as a cooling source. Livestock should also have access to fresh water, shade, and exercise should be done before 7am.

As always, NEVER LEAVE YOUR PET IN A VEHICLE.
