Today is Check the Chip Day. Microchips greatly increase the chance of getting your pet back if he/she is lost or stolen, but a microchip only works if its registration information is accurate. Make sure your information is up to date!

We love being part of the Iowa Governor's Charity Steer Show!

Sponsor Spotlight: Thank you to the Iowa Veterinary Medical Association and the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine for your continued support of the Iowa Governor's Charity Steer Show.

For those of us with livestock, we know how important these two groups are to the health and well-being of our cattle. They are the experts that producers look to for answers and are investing in the future of veterinarians. They are crucial to the success of our industry!

📷: Last year, this team was represented by Dr. Dan Grooms, Stephen G. Juelsgaard, dean of veterinary medicine and youth exhibitor, Claire Pellett, and her steer, Magic.
