Semi-Annual Internal Parasite Testing
We recommend internal parasite testing animals twice yearly. Even if they are on routine preventive medicines, this insures that they are parasite free and healthy.
Flea and Tick Control
We have available both internal and external products for these parasites. Some products work well in some situations and others may be more useful in a different circumstance.
Annual Heartworm Testing
Heartworms are spread from dog to dog by mosquitoes. It takes only one bite to infect your dog. Prevention is safer, easier and less costly. Prevention is available in oral and topical forms and is given monthly.
Heat Injury (Heat Stroke)
- Provide pets with plenty of fresh water and shade.
- Do not leave pets unattended in parked motor vehicles.

extreme agitation.
An overheated pet should be cooled down with cool water and taken to a veterinarian immediately.

Parasite Control
Deworming – Rotate classes of drugs used in your deworming program. Keep a regular worming schedule for each horse as advised by your veterinarian. Fecal examinations by your veterinarian can identify specific parasites in the manure and the number of parasite eggs. This will lead to correct treatment.
Colic
- Can be associated with ingestion of lush spring grasses.
- Signs – Restlessness, pawing, licking at flank, stretching and rolling.
- Prevention – Change diet gradually, avoid large quantities of feed and water, ration exposure to lush grass.
Routine Dental Work
- Routine dental work will help your horse utilize their food better, and in return will help lower your feed cost.
Remember “no foot, no horse.” Horses need farrier work every six to eight weeks.
With show season in full swing, don’t forget to have your horses mouth checked for sharp points, ulcerations and other abnormalities. |
