Once again I’d like to thank everyone for your support of Evans Family Pet Care over the last 15 years. We’ve spent the last week organizing and getting things ready for auction.

The auction has mostly veterinary equipment and supplies, but there are los of office supplies as well.

The auction went live today - you can pre-bid staring now, the auction will close August 8.

Please check it out, bid on anything that interests you, and SHARE the auction as much as you can! Thank you so very much!

It is with mixed feelings that I am announcing the closure of Evans Family Pet Care. I would like to take a moment to thank all the people over the past 15 years that have been an integral part of making this practice successful. My husband and children have been my biggest support system and cheerleaders along the way and I couldn’t have done this without them. They’ve also been extraordinarily patient and understanding when I’ve missed or been late to school, sport, or family events because a pet needed help. This list also includes not only the wonderful, caring, skilled staff members I’ve worked with over the years, but my landlords, supply account representatives, and accountants that have answered many of my questions and provided much needed support and education along the way.

And you, my clients – many of whom I’m so pleased to call friends - and your wonderful pets. They say that if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. Well, I won’t lie, some days were actually work, but I certainly have never been bored! I’ve seen many new puppies and kittens grow into beloved family members and I’ve grieved with you as you’ve had to say goodbye. It’s an honor to have been part of your lives.

I have taken an associate veterinarian position in Brookings, SD at Big Sioux Veterinary Clinic. I’ll start working there later this summer, so feel free to look me up there.

The clinic will remain open and operational through July 12, 2024. We ask that you contact the clinic via email, text or phone so that we can email your pets’ medical records either directly to you or to the veterinary clinic of your choice.

Sincerely,
Brenda Evans, DVM, CVA

It’s that time of year again in Minnesota! The grass is growing, the lilacs are blooming, and the gnats have come out to feast!

These flat, bright red spots that are usually most visible on the belly and armpit areas of your dog are most likely gnat bites. They look awful, but thankfully usually don’t seem to bother the dogs too much. They will fade over 3-4 days, looking like a faint red ring before eventually disappearing.

Your best defense against these irritating insects is to avoid grassy areas and around lilac bushes. Easy-peasy, right? 🙄 Thankfully, the worst of the season is usually over in a couple of weeks.

If your dog is excessively itchy, is acting otherwise ill, or has other types of rash or hair loss, do make sure you check in with your veterinarian to make sure nothing more serious is going on.

📣LOST DOG📣
Lost dog in Marshall. She took off from 607 Deschepper. Her name is Ivy. She is microchipped and has her tags on. She was just recently groomed so her hair will be shorter. She is a very loved dog. If found please call the clinic or the owner at 507-829-2253.

Good snowy Tuesday! The roads are not great today so Dr. Evans is not able to make it into Marshall from her home. The clinic is open this morning if you need to pick up food or medications but we will plan to close early to make sure everyone can get home again safely. We will do our best to keep everyone updated if our hours have to change later in the week. Stay tuned! And stay warm and dry!

Due to the forecasted winter storm warning, the clinic will be CLOSED Monday, March 25.

Happy Friday! We are supposed to get some nasty weather over the weekend, so we are expecting to be closed Monday 3/25. If you need medication or food refills before then, please stop by the clinic this afternoon. Stay warm this weekend!
