Happy Saturday, Friends! Sweet Lexi wants to remind you that we will be closed on Monday for Labor Day! It is Lexi's first Labor Day but she was excited for a day home with her family!

Lexi came in earlier this week for puppy immunizations with Dr. Thompson! She is, as you can see, a perfect bundle of love! 😍

Mississippi counties (Clarke, Madison, Monroe, and Stone) have each had one horse test positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). That is a total of four positive horses this year. All four were found this month.

EEE is transmitted to horses and humans from mosquitoes. The disease cannot be transmitted to humans from horses.

VACCINATION IS THE ONLY PREVENTION AVAILABLE AGAINST EEE IN HORSES. This disease is nearly 100% fatal in horses and no treatment is available. Keep your horses healthy; talk to your veterinarian today about EEE and vaccinations.

🌞💦 Planning a pool day or beach trip with your pet?
Whether they're a swimmer or a toe-dipper, water safety is just as important as sunscreen! 🐶🐾

Here are a few safe splashing tips to keep your furry friend happy and hydrated:
🏊 Use a pet life jacket—especially for deep water or nervous swimmers
🚫 Avoid strong currents, unfamiliar lakes, or water with algae
🧴 Rinse off after swimming to prevent skin irritation
💧 Bring fresh water—they shouldn’t drink from pools or lakes

🎉 Summer fun is better when it's safe for everyone—tails included!
📸 Tag us in your pet’s splash day pics!
