A good day to take it easy inside. Air quality alert for our area today and this evening. This affects people as well as pets, especially those with pre-existing conditions, the senior pets and the short/flat snouted (Brachycephalic) breeds like bulldogs and Boston terriers.

🚨 Air Quality Advisory for Chautauqua County 🚨
Smoke from wildfires is affecting our air — making it harder to breathe and putting health at risk.

Just like we check the weather to prepare for heat, cold, or storms, we should check the Air Quality Index (AQI) to know how safe the air is to breathe.

👥 People most at risk from poor air quality include:
-Those with asthma or heart conditions
-Pregnant people
-Older adults
-Children
-Outdoor workers & first responders
-Anyone who exercises outside

If you or someone in your home is in a high-risk group, talk to your doctor and learn how to stay safe when air quality is unhealthy.

🌫️ See haze or smell smoke?
Limit outdoor activities—especially if the AQI is over 150.

Howdy. It’s rodeo time! Time to treat your pets with veterinary approved flea and tick prevention products. Actually EVERY MONTH is time to prevent these cowboys from lassoing your cats and dogs. Dr. Redfield removed a kettle full of these critters (mostly black legged deer ticks) from a patient who had wandered from their homestead for several days and was rescued by a Good Samaritan. And remember, ticks take advantage of all wagon trains to travel, including migratory birds, rodents and wildlife. The fence around your ranch won’t keep them out! If your pets use prescription products like Simparica Trio, Nexgard or Revolution Plus, make sure their annual exams are up to date. Yeee haw. Round ‘em up! Our high school animal health interns had a productive day learning about parasites, fer sure! (Pass the grits). Bonus: check out that one cowboy’s mouth parts that burrow into its host!
