Updated November Dates
WE ARE STILL IN PANORA for the month of November!
Note Thanksgiving week we will do a MONDAY not a Wednesday surgery day.

2026 Barn Community Cat dates!

REMINDER; We are a large animal practice that offers economical spay/neuter options for cats because we believe in population control. We are not a rescue. We do not take cats. Nor are we a small animal clinic so we have limited offerings

ALL CATS GET EAR NOTCHED; this signifies the animal is altered. This is not an option.

Garoutte Veterinary Services puts on a Cat Spay and Neuter clinic, to help barn cats get altered, required age 12 weeks and older. Every Wednesday LOCATED in Panora Iowa

🍂 Crisp mornings are a sure sign that fall is here, and it's time to start checking items off your horse care to-do list! 🍂

Our Fall Care Checklist covers some of the essentials, and here's a little more on why each one matters:

💉 Fall vaccinations: Vaccine recommendations vary by location and individual horse, so talk with your veterinarian about what your horse needs this season.

🪱 Parasite control: Parasite risks and the best deworming approach differ depending on where you live. Your veterinarian can help you design a program that fits your horse and your region.

⚖️ Evaluate body condition: Thick winter coats can hide weight changes, so use your hands as well as your eyes. Assess condition now so you can plan any changes to your winter feeding program ahead of time.

🦷 Dental care: Good teeth help your horse chew and make the most of forage, which becomes even more important when pasture quality drops. Regular exams with your veterinarian are key.

🩹 Check your first aid kit: Replace anything expired, restock supplies you've used, and make sure your veterinarian's number is easy to find. A routine check now means you're ready when you need it.

❄️ Colic prevention: Cold weather can change how much your horse drinks and eats. Watch closely for changes in appetite and water intake, and call your veterinarian if something seems off.

And the to-do list doesn't end there! Don't forget to:

🧥 Repair and waterproof your horse's rugs: Fix tears, replace worn straps, and re-waterproof now so they're ready before the first cold, wet day.

🌾 Secure and store your hay properly: Keep it dry, covered, and off the ground with good airflow to help prevent mold and spoilage.

🏠 Assess your shelters for safety and soundness: Look for loose boards, protruding nails, roof leaks, and drainage trouble spots so your horses stay protected all winter long.

Not sure where to start? Your veterinarian can help you build a fall care plan tailored to your horse. 🩺

Save this post for later and share it with a fellow horse owner! 💙🧡

*Important Update on Community Cat Clinic*

Our current space is being sold. We have the space secured through October of 2026 but after that it will be a month by month lease so what does that mean.

1) We are looking for another space with comparable space and cost. Our building rent has been extremely reasonable making this clinic easy to offer. We hope to have a new space in November but it is unknown at this time.

2) We will only be posting a month at a time staring in November as we will only have the space secure one month at a time.

3) We will be moving locations for sure. Date is to be determined.

Rest of September and October stay at the 114 W Main St Panora Iowa Location (Santa is in the Window) but after that it may change depending on the sale of the building or us securing a new location.

If you or someone you know has a reasonable rent buliding let us know.

The landlord has been extremely kind to both Panora Pets and us over the years keeping rent extremely reasonable. We thank her for her compassion for the program over the years.

Fall might finally be here!
Time to booster the Flu innovator (EHV1/4 & Rhino), check teeth & address health concerns.
Fall is a great time to enjoy your equine partner!

On the cattle side it is nearly weaning time. Let's get this calves green tagged & cows pregnancy checked! Cull cows are too valuable to feed an open cow.

Arlene the office cat says, "See you Tuesday"

We will be on emergency only Monday September 7th for labor day.

It's going to be toasty this weekend & holiday so take extra precautions with your equine plans for the holiday.

Must haves for this weekend would be electrolytes of some sort.

A few weeks ago Dr. Callie and Staff were able to have an in-depth training on all things Gastroscope. Pictured is Dr. Callie's beloved rope horse; Pat. She had suspected he had gastric ulcers and he in fact did. Lucky for him he is now being treated and on the mend!

Thank you to Boehringer Ingelheim as they provided the training.
So that being said..........
We are adding a portable Gastroscope to our equipment & services list. This is a big undertaking but Dr. Callie believes in offering services your performance animals needs. We look forward to offering a service that will absolutely make a difference for you and your horse.

"COME BACK"
We had to have one last fun moment!
It is Maleah's last day as she leaves to become a veterinarian!
To say I am proud is not enough. I knew the first day she shadowed at the clinic I would saying goodbye 👋 to her someday.
This profession needs people like Maleah; compassionate, hard working, practical, attentive and understanding. Maleah will absolutely bring great things to the equine world as a veterinarian. Nothing is quite as rewarding as helping to develop the next generation.
It is only goodbye for now.

I will get white coat her at the ISU CVM Class of 2030 white coat ceremony. I am sure tears will flow as I am just so darn proud to have been a small piece of Maleah's journey to become something great, Dr. Maleah Upton!

As Maleah leaves us to start her journey to become a veterinarian we have a new face here at Garoutte Veterinary Services, LLC

Hannah Peterson

Hey I’m Hannah! I grew up on a cattle farm outside of Jefferson and have always had a passion for large animal veterinary medicine. I graduated from Kirkwood and passed my boards to become a registered vet tech.
In my spare time you can find me at a concert or hanging out with my friends and family. I also love to travel and enjoy taking my dogs, Oscar and Spud, with me any chance I get.
I am excited for this opportunity and look forward to working with everyone!
