The spookiest day of the year is less than a week away! Between constant ringing of the doorbell by trick or treaters, and scary costumes and decorations, Halloween may not be as fun for your pets as it is for you.
Here are a few friendly tips to help your pet through Halloween night!
👻 Create a safe space for your pet away from all the commotion.
🍭 Place candy bowl outside to avoid doorbell scaries.
🎃 Reward good behavior to make the experience a positive one!
🩺 If you have any concerns about your pet being stressed with all the ghoulies out and about, contact your veterinarian to discuss options for medication to help reduce anxiety.
We want to wish you all a Happy Halloween and we look forward to all those adorable photographs of your pets in their costumes! 😍

With increasing resistance against commercially available chemical dewormers, some horse owners are turning to alternative and outdated deworming methods such as feeding diatomaceous earth to battle internal parasites. DE is a naturally occurring soft, talc-like powder that consists of the fossilized remains of single-celled phytoplankton made of silica called diatoms, and the theory behind incorporating DE into maintenance programs is that the sharp particles cut up the intestinal parasites.
Food grade DE is not likely to harm your horse, but studies have shown the efficacy of using it as a means for controlling intestinal parasites is poor.
Controlling worms in horses requires a multi-faceted approach, including:
- Fecal egg counts
- Targeted deworming strategy
- Rotational grazing
- Manure management
- Age, history and location of horses
Crown 3 Equine can assist you in setting up an appropriate deworming plan based on your horse and farm’s needs. Just call the office at 903-564-1175 for more information!
This is just one of many reminders that we are in the midst of tick season! 😱 Be sure to check your horse over thoroughly, including in the ears and between the legs, for ticks!
Our Repro Manager gets PUMPED when she finds an embryo. Yesterday was especially memorable because she searched and processed an embryo from one of her own broodmares for the first time! 💃💃💃 #crown3equine #equinevetlife #equinevet #equinereproduction #broodmares #breedingseason
When a mare is overdue and holding up the line for foal outs… we resort to public shaming in hopes she will pop that baby out so we can get some sleep after weeks of foal watch. 😴 #equinereproduction #foalingseason #equineveterinarian #crown3equine
