Spring is the perfect time to make sure your horse is protected for the year ahead!

At Veterinary Associates of Clayton County, we recommend annual vaccines to help protect against:
• Equine Encephalitis
• West Nile Virus
• Tetanus
• Rabies

These diseases can be life threatening — but prevention is one of the best ways to keep your horse healthy and safe. Call us to schedule your horse’s yearly vaccines! Check out our video below to see how Dr. Carlson gives vaccines for the best experience possible.

Did you know that dogs can get anxiety just like people?

Anxiety in dogs is more common than many many people realize—and it can show up in ways you might not expect. From destructive behavior to subtle body language changes, recognizing the signs early can make a big difference in your pet’s comfort and well-being.

Some dogs only feel anxious in certain situations (like storms or when left alone), while others may struggle more regularly.

💙 The good news? We are here to help.
If you’re noticing these signs, our team at Veterinary Associates of Clayton County is here to support you and your pet with personalized care and solutions.
