Squeeee.... It's that time of year again! Our first foal patient of the year is a total doll 😍 and makes up for the many dozens of vaccines given and teeth examined in the past month, all while getting ready for finals at SUNY. Yikes... If you haven't heard from us about this year's Spring Special it is not because we aren't offering it, but because we are booked solid. In fact, we may already have you on our schedule and just haven't had a chance to let you know 😆 The office just isn't the same without Dawn... Bear with us, and feel free to give us shout or drop a line to remind us!

Good Morning Everyone! Just a reminder that if you are tagged in a comment and encouraged to order a t-shirt that is NOT US doing so! I have very little control over who comments and tags, I can only go in after the fact and remove those comments. Which is a pain the rear and takes up a lot of time which I don't have...
Anyway, here is a REAL DEAL: if you purchased Equioxx or Gastrogard in the month of March (either from us or elsewhere) you should submit your rebate request to BI: https://www.boehringeringelheimequinerebates.com/ #/home
Happy Spring-ish 😆

Folks, our trusty Canon Pixma printer had to be retired and we have quite a bit of ink remaining. Anyone in need of 281 XXL ink cartridges? We have 13 total, message us if you are interested.

Do you care for a "mature" equine citizen? You know, the one who sometimes forgets how to horse because ... well ... huh? Who are you??? 👵🐴🧓We are offering senior special this month with 10% off all dental work, so if your 15+ equine isn't already on the schedule give us a call, and make sure to sign up for a great presentation by the AAEP on how to adjust you horse's care as he ages.

Summer is here! And so are the mosquitoes 🦟🤬 If you haven't had a chance to have your horses vaccinated this year make sure to do so sooner rather than later. Mosquitoes carry EEE and West Nile Virus, both of which are highly pathogenic to horses. EEE in particular will kill over 90% of affected animals! Don't risk it - call our office today to make your appointment: 315-250-5938

It's been a busy spring here at Rivendell! Taylor is having a blast taking over the office (and occasionally joining Dr. Dorothee on morning emergency road calls). Our new office hours are Tuesday-Friday 10-2. The remaining time during the week as well as on Saturdays we monitor the office phone and will get back to you as we are able to. Or look forward to hearing Taylor's friendly voice the next morning :)

Today is a really weird day. We had a lovely little fare-well lunch for Dawn, who is at the office for the last day today. For over eight years she has kept the practice running when we were busy on the road or in the clinic. She is by far the kindest person I have ever met, and we are wishing her all the best in this new chapter of her life. Thank you, Dawn, for all you have contributed to the wellbeing of Rivendell and its clients and patients!

Who has the best Vet Tech program in the country? SUNY Canton, of course! And not just because I teach there now ;) More importantly, we have hired our second graduate of the program, the wonderful Ms. Taylor B. She will be taking over Dawn's position, who will sadly leave us at the end of this month to start a new chapter in her life. In addition to that Taylor will also be assisting me with appointments in the clinic. Welcome, Taylor!
