New arrivals mean new nutrition needs. 🐐

Young animals grow fast, and their feed should support strong bones, healthy digestion, and steady development from day one.

Getting it right early makes a big difference later. 🙌

Emergencies can happen quickly, but preparation can be simple. Taking a few small steps now, like gathering supplies and updating identification, can make a meaningful difference later.

It is less about having everything perfect and more about being ready. Planning ahead helps protect your pet when it matters most!

Spring garden check! 🌷🐱

Did you know tulips are actually toxic to cats? Before your curious kitty goes exploring this May, it's worth knowing which common garden flowers can be harmful.

Tulips, daffodils, and lilies are all on the watch list. 🌿

Sharing! We often have folks asking about why we leave declaws on.. here is some good info on the “why”!

Dew Claws: What You Should Know

There’s a lot of mixed information out there about dew claws.

After speaking with multiple reputable veterinarians, we’ve learned they’re more than just “extra toes.”
They’re connected to tendons and play a role in a dog’s movement and stability.

Some dogs may never have issues if they’re removed.
But others can develop discomfort or long-term changes as they age.

That’s something we take seriously.

Not all dew claws are the same either.
The ones that are tight to the foot are typically not a long-term concern.
Loose ones can have a higher risk of injury and just need to be managed properly.

We choose to keep them.

Not because it’s easier
but because we believe in preserving structure and focusing on proper care.

We don’t remove them. We manage them.

Lyme disease is a growing concern for dogs, and risk can begin with a single tick bite. As exposure increases in many areas, awareness and prevention become more important.

If you have questions about testing or protection, talk to your vet. Staying informed now supports long-term health going forward.

April on a farm feels like everything is waking up again. 🌱

Pastures turning green.
Lambs, foals, and calves arriving.
Longer evenings in the barn.

There’s something special about watching a new season begin. ✨

What are you most looking forward to on the farm this spring?
