Grand Opening Recap
What an incredible day we had during our grand opening! The weather was mild, and the energy was contagious. We welcomed friends, family, and clients to our new facility.
We began with tours of our modern space, showcasing upgraded amenities. Visitors explored our spacious examination rooms, equine day spa, and comfortable waiting area. Each corner of our clinic reflects our dedication to providing outstanding care for your pets. It was immensely rewarding to see the joy and excitement on everyone’s faces.
Throughout the day, presenters covered a wide variety of topics focused on the latest in equine health. Our team appreciated connecting with all of you and listening to your stories about cherished pets.
Thank you to everyone who joined us! Your support means everything. We’re thrilled to embark on this new journey together!
New Appointment Protocol
As we transition to our new facility, we have implemented several protocols to streamline your experience. Here’s what you need to know:
Location: All appointments will take place in our new building. Please do not arrive at our old location.
Parking Instructions: If you have a horse trailer, please drive around to the right. Go between the barn and the mare motel. Kindly pull around the barn and park facing the road for our incredible view! If you're in a car, please park facing the barn, to the right of the barn aisle.
Upon arrival, feel free to wait in our reception room or your vehicle until our staff arrives to greet you. We strive to maintain a calm atmosphere. Please refrain from interrupting Dr. Massie during appointments with other clients.
We believe these changes will enhance your experience with us, and we appreciate your cooperation!

Lepto Awareness for Dogs
As we shift gears, it’s vital to discuss leptospirosis awareness for our canine companions. Lepto is a serious bacterial infection that can lead to severe health issues. Here are essential points every dog owner should know:
Transmission: Dogs can contract lepto through contaminated water, soil, or direct contact with infected animals. Heavy rainfall, especially during spring and fall, raises chances of infection. Be alert when walking your dog near standing water!
Symptoms: Common signs include fever, vomiting, lethargy, and increased thirst. If you notice any of these signs in your dog, contact us immediately for advice.
Prevention: Vaccination is your best defense against lepto. Ensure your dog’s lepto vaccine is current, especially if you often visit nature parks or areas with standing water.
Knowledge is power! By monitoring your dog’s health and taking preventive measures, you can help keep them safe from this illness.
Final Thoughts
It’s been an exciting month filled with new beginnings, picturesque trails, and practical health tips for our pets. We hope you find this recap engaging and informative.
As we continue to grow, we truly appreciate your support and participation in our community. Whether you are exploring Southern Oregon's stunning trails or learning more about pet health, we are here to assist you every step of the way.
