Help! 🛟
As many of you noted upgraded to new software last week. We’ve appreciated your patience as we learn the new program.
Sadly when the data transferred from the old software we lost ALL of the patient’s nicknames. We’re struggling to remember who is who with only show names to go from.
If you have a minute today to help please email us a little “who’s who” at [email protected] so we can add their barn names back into their file.

As you are scheduling your horse’s annual preventative appointment this spring, please keep in mind the value of your Veterinary Client Patient Relationship (VCPR) when deciding which clinic to call. We value our annual wellness visits in catching up with any changes in your horse’s heath or situation.

Due to the nature of being a multi-doctor practice, our veterinarians rotate through a 24-7 emergency service, enabling us to strive for a work life balance. As a veterinarian this is a tremendous incentive to work within a group, sharing on call, brainstorming about cases, sharing ideas, and mentoring young vets as they enter into practice.

However, our business can not be supported by emergencies alone. It is important that our primary day consists of preventative, elective and sick animal appointments as needed to provide quality care for our loyal clients. Our veterinarians do pick up calls from non-clients in our area as the schedule allows. It is evident that recently an increasing number of local veterinarians are not providing reliable emergency coverage for their clients. It is frustrating to hear on the coldest nights, and nicest weekends that a usual veterinarian isn’t answering or isn’t coming and to just call someone else.

At this time our policy is to see those clients if they fit into our after hours schedule, but first priority will go to routine clients. On busy nights/ weekends we do reserve the right to see only client emergencies.

Moving forward to reflect our commitment to our loyal clients who have a current VCPR, they will get first service when emergency calls come in. Our after hours emergency fee for those clients will remain the same. Legally a VCPR indicates that the animal has been seen within the last 12 months for a wellness related visit (wellness exams, dental work, vaccines, or herd checks). A sick animal visit will not qualify for the current client rate. Under fairly new regulations, prescription medications also require the same relationship to be dispensed.
Outdated and non-client emergencies will still be seen when feasible, but there will be an additional $100 surcharge.

We look forward to seeing you this spring. Please call the clinic at (607) 847-9990 with any questions.

February is Pet Dental Health Month, which of course includes horses and other animals on the farm. 🐴🫏

We recommend an annual dental examination for all horses in order to recognize potential problems at an early stage. Our dental services are offered in-house or on the farm. Using a power-assisted tool, and sedation when necessary, LVS can safely and comfortably improve and correct most dental problems!

With the 2025 foals starting to arrive any day it will soon be time to update our bulletin board. This year we'd like to celebrate your year, as well as showcasing new foals. As you have wonderful rides, successful shows, a new foal/ calf, or even a day where your animal is looking at it's best drop off/ email or mail in a picture and we'll add it to the board.

We try to stay as competitive as possible with medications. Part of that is when there are manufacturer rebates available we try to include the information to make it as easy as possible.
Please do submit these rebates - every little bit helps!
Especially on meds that might be used long term.
