Young horses (under 2-3 years of age)-deworm starting at 4 weeks of age (using a safe product such as fenbendazole) and then every 6-8 weeks rotationally thereafter. Parasite resistance to deworming products is becoming a problem. 15+ years of rotational deworming has contributed to resistance developing in equine parasites.
With the increasing amount of research in the field of equine nutrition many questions have been answered, but many new questions are being raised. Many beliefs about feeding horses that have been taken for granted for years are no longer valid. We have found that feeding practices, like so many phases of the equine industry, employ the art as well as the science of equine husbandry.
One question we are often asked is "How's my horse's weight?" While body weight is an important individual characteristic, what is more important is body condition score or BCS. BCS uses both how your horse looks and how it feels to the touch to evaluate the amount of body fat it has. BCS is scaled from 1 to 9, with 1 being emaciated with no fat, and 9 being grossly obese.
Through the spring and summer we have seen several cases of parasite infestation in horses that have been regularly dewormed. We feel that there are several possible reasons for the increase in cases that we are seeing. One of the reasons is that weather conditions have been dry and much of the manure in pastures has not been dissipated by rain, thus exposing parasite eggs to the elements that aid in reducing the load of parasite eggs present. Another reason we see an increase in parasite related problems is that parasite eggs build up in pastures from year to year.

Love this place. Have gone here with all my animals for almost 30 years. Inherited my mom's dog and cat when she passed so they getting their initial visits in. My little pup has been going there 6 years and she runs to the door to go in. So glad they are finally able to open for partial in building visits, so nice to be able to talk face to face

I really dislike the inability to take my animal in for treatment. This sit out and wait in the car I am not a fan of at all. I don't remember everything to tell them for a 5 second pick up and no convo during the exam to remind me. If they don't change I will be finding a different vet. This is getting ridiculous. Absolutely your right and decision as is mine to go elsewhere which I am.

My family has been taking our pets here since I was little (I'm 25 now) and they use to be fantastic! Now though, since a few wonderful vets left, they went down hill. I recently took my cat in, one my boyfriend and I rescued from outside, and I'm not happy. She got a full exam, and they said everything was fine! Well, turns out it wasn't. A few weeks later, my boyfriend and I both noticed that she was having us scratch inside her ear.
Then wax started dripping out. Alarmed, I went to make an appointment, but they where booked 3 weeks out. I took her to another vet, and there we were told she had a severe infection that was more then likely there the last time she went to the vet. I'm very upset. I will never be returning and won't recommend this vet clinic.

They have taken care of my dogs since I was a little girl! They always do such a superb job and keep me on top of my game to make sure my pets are at their ultimate best I love them and even when I'm away the Associates are always there to answer any questions and give the best advice they also work with others in communication to ensure everything is going well with your pet

On April 19th 2021 we called early in the morning because we inadvertently ran out of the prescription pain reliever over the weekend. I called first thing in the morning and needed it really quickly because we had no way to get it later on. I had to bypass the prescription call line. And the lady that answered the phone was very kind and able to get it ordered for us and we were able to pick it up within an hour of the time we called. We went against all the called for considerations and appreciate the fact that they were able to help us.
