March: A Fresh Start

March is here, and with it comes the buzz of spring and a fresh wave of energy. As the days get longer and the weather warms up, horse lovers can really feel the excitement in the air. This time of year shakes off the winter blues and gets us all looking forward to what’s ahead.

With our grand opening coming up in May, we can’t wait to share some awesome new offerings that will make life even better for both horses and their owners!

Spring Pet Issues and Preventatives

As the weather warms up and nature comes back to life, pet owners should be aware of common springtime issues that can affect their furry companions. Here are some prevalent concerns and suggested preventative measures:

1. Allergies

Just like humans, pets can suffer from seasonal allergies due to pollen, mold, and other allergens.

• Preventative Measures: Keep pets indoors during high pollen counts, bathe them regularly to remove allergens, and consult a veterinarian for allergy medications if necessary.
  

2. Fleas and Ticks

Spring marks the beginning of flea and tick season, which can lead to discomfort and potential diseases for pets.

• Preventative Measures: Use veterinarian-recommended flea and tick prevention treatments, regularly check your pets for signs of infestations, and maintain a clean yard.

3. Heartworm Disease

Heartworm is a serious condition transmitted by mosquitoes, which become more active in spring.

• Preventative Measures: Administer monthly heartworm preventatives and schedule regular veterinary check-ups to ensure your pet is heartworm-free.
  

4. Poisonous Plants

Many spring flowers and plants can be toxic to pets, such as lilies, azaleas, and tulips.

• Preventative Measures: Educate yourself about toxic plants, remove them from your garden, and supervise pets during outdoor activities.
  

5. Increased Activity and Injuries

With longer days and warmer weather, pets may be more active, leading to the risk of injuries.

• Preventative Measures: Gradually increase exercise routines, supervise playtime, and ensure pets are properly warmed up before engaging in vigorous activities.

By being proactive and aware of these spring pet issues, you can help ensure a safe and enjoyable season for your pets.

Dr. massie's podiatry work

Equine podiatry is a passion of mine that deeply resonates with my commitment to foot health and overall well-being. I actively seek help and insights from farrier gurus and experienced veterinary podiatrists alike, reaching out to experts from all over the world to shape and refine my practice. This global network of professionals allows me to stay updated on the latest techniques, research, and innovations in the field of podiatry. By engaging with these specialists, I am able to learn from their diverse experiences and perspectives, which significantly enriches my understanding of foot care. Additionally, I often participate in workshops, seminars, and conferences, where I can exchange knowledge and ideas with fellow practitioners. This collaborative approach not only enhances my skills but also fosters a community dedicated to advancing podiatric health. My dedication to continuous learning and improvement drives me to explore various methodologies, ensuring that I provide the best possible care to my patients. Ultimately, my goal is to integrate these valuable insights into my practice, creating a holistic approach that emphasizes both prevention and treatment in podiatry.
