Think ticks are easy to spot? Think again. 👀

This collection of ticks was found on local pets right here on the Eastern Shore. Some are large and obvious, but many are tiny and small enough to hide in ears, skin folds, between toes, and even in areas we only discover when shaving for a catheter placement.

Just because you don’t see a tick doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

With tick populations booming and tick-borne diseases on the rise, year-round tick prevention is one of the best ways to protect your pet’s health.

Have questions about which prevention product is right for your pet? Give us a call—we’re happy to help.

Ticks are everywhere right now, and protecting yourself is just as important as protecting your pets.

In this reel, Dr. Scofield shares some important information about common tick prevention products for humans.

✔️ DEET is an effective option for people, and there is no known toxicity concern if your pet rubs against your skin after you’ve applied it.

⚠️ Permethrin, however, is a different story. This ingredient is found in some tick sprays and treated clothing products, and it can be extremely toxic to cats—even in small amounts. ☠️

Unfortunately, warning labels aren’t always as noticeable as they should be, so take a few extra seconds to read the ingredients on any insect repellent or tick-control product you bring home.

A little label reading can go a long way in keeping your entire family—pets included—safe this tick season.

This weekend, we traded scrubs for celebration as we headed to Pennsylvania to help one of our own say “I do!”

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Makenzie Bishop, now Dr. Rowe, on her marriage! ❤️

We were honored to be part of such a special day and loved celebrating this exciting new chapter with her. Wishing Dr. Rowe and her husband a lifetime of happiness, adventure, and plenty of reasons to smile.

Congratulations, Dr. Rowe! 🎉💍

If it feels like the ticks are worse than ever this year, you’re not imagining it.

We are seeing a LOT of ticks on pets right now, and the Lone Star tick is especially active across the Eastern Shore. Not only are these ticks aggressive biters, but they can also carry several diseases that can affect both pets and people.

In this reel, Dr. Scofield shares her top recommendations for keeping your pets protected this tick season and explains why prevention is so important.

🍺 Thirsty Thursday? Not exactly.

That’s not a local craft brew—it’s abdominal fluid.

And despite her smile, Dr. Scofield did not drink it.

Veterinary medicine: where the things we celebrate in cups are very different than everyone else’s. 😂🐾

The rain may have moved out, but before you or your pets head to the river, creek, or Bay for a swim, there’s something important to keep in mind: runoff.

When heavy rain falls, water flows across roads, farms, lawns, parking lots, and other surfaces, carrying bacteria, fertilizers, pet waste, chemicals, and other pollutants into our local waterways. This is called stormwater runoff, and it can temporarily make the water unsafe for both people and pets.

Swimming in water with high bacteria levels can lead to skin irritation, gastrointestinal illness, ear infections, and other health concerns. Pets are especially at risk because they often drink the water while swimming.

Before heading out, check the latest water quality results from ShoreRivers, our local water monitoring organization. They provide free weekly water quality testing throughout the region so you can make informed decisions about where and when to swim.

A quick check before you dive in can help keep your entire family—two-legged and four-legged—safe this summer.

Recruiting the future of veterinary medicine 🩺🐾

Recently, Dr. Scofield traveled to Virginia Tech to connect with veterinary students and share what makes practicing on Maryland’s Eastern Shore so special. From advanced technology and modern medicine to the slower pace, tight-knit community, and beautiful coastal lifestyle, we’re proud to offer a career that blends high-quality veterinary care with quality of life.

We’re always looking for passionate veterinarians who want to make a difference, build lasting client relationships, and enjoy all the perks of rural Eastern Shore living. 🌾🌊

THE CASE OF THE MISSING RAISINS 🕵️‍♂️🍇

Two suspects. One empty box of raisins. Zero witnesses.

After returning home from dinner, these two furry partners in crime were caught red handed beside an empty box of raisins. Both pups were promptly brought to Chestertown Animal Hospital, where our team induced vomiting to determine who the true culprit was.

The verdict? One dog had a stomach full of raisins (the beagle 👀)… and the other did not.

Thankfully, both dogs are doing well, but this is an important reminder that raisins and grapes can be extremely toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. If you suspect your pet has eaten something dangerous, contact your veterinarian right away.
