 Summer always goes by way too fast! Fall is here which means - fuzzy ponies eating every single fallen leaf in sight, pumpkin everything, and fall vaccines!
What we recommend this fall: Equine Herpesvirus (EHV) Vaccination: We highly recommend Flu/Rhino boosters for horses at all boarding facilities, horses that are exposed to new horses (frequently and infrequently), and horses that are still showing and traveling. West Nile Virus (WNV) & Encephalitis (EEE) Vaccination: We highly recommend EWT/West Nile boosters for horses that received their spring EWT/WN vaccination before May 1st. If your horse received EWT/WN after May 1st, you are still welcome to re-vaccinate this fall, especially if you are in an area with higher mosquito populations. Fall Fecal Testing: We also recommend testing fecals in October and November for your horse. You are welcome to drop samples off at the office (please call first), or give them to Kendyl at your fall vaccine appointments. When collecting samples: 1) we need FRESH samples, 2) we only need 2ish fecal balls, and 3) place samples in a zip-lock bag with your name and horse name on the bag. Microchips: Need a microchip to meet the new USEF microchip requirements for all hunter/jumper, jumper, and equitation divisions at USEF recognized shows? We have them in stock! If you are not sure what your animals are due for, feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help you! Call or text us at 508-923-3422 to schedule your appointments today! p.s. Keep in mind we will be offering our Winter Dentistry Discount again this year! Get 20% off all dentistry services performed between November 1, 2018 and February 28, 2019.
