Did you know it's veterinary technician appreciation week? While we certainly appreciate Jessie every week, we want to take this opportunity to highlight her! Jessie has been with us for 3 months and she has had such a positive impact on our ability to offer high quality care. Her years of experience allowed her to step right in and will give us new opportunities going forward (Small animal dentals...coming soon!). We love that she is willing to help in any way, eager to learn new things, and top notch with her skills!

One task that has been bogging down our clinic efficiency is outside prescriptions. There are so many pharmacies and they all do their authorization process differently - some call us, some email, some have a portal that we have to log in to, etc. We will not just blindly authorize a medication...someone has to look up the animal, verify they are an active patient, bring the info to a vet who may need to look at all recent medical history, calculate proper dosing and then authorize the med. We are finding this process takes about 10-20 minutes per prescription. We miss some requests due to how they are submitted. A vast majority of these medications are products that we sell from our own shelves (we have an ever growing inventory) and price competitive to what's available online.
We've spoken to several other clinics who have struggled with this system also and have decided to implement a new procedure based on their suggestions.
📣Starting November 1,2025 we will no longer do any outside prescription authorization. We will provide a hardcopy prescription for any medication needed that will allow you to fill at any pharmacy. You will need to pick this up in person as many pharmacies are requiring "wet ink" signatures now. Turnaround time will be 1-3 business days.
We will still authorize on our own Stoney Hills online pharmacy.

We are blessed to have three amazing doctors sharing time in our office and one super technician! All of them do medicine based on science, but also based on their professional experiences. Some vet clinics have pre-written protocols for all conditions that veterinarians are required to follow regardless of their experiences or the individual case specifics. We think the unique perspectives and approaches of each doctor are an asset and we are committed to offering multiple options when appropriate.

This week we are going to highlight a couple house keeping items to note as we grow and change:

For those of you who have been bringing your small animals to us since the good old days in the barn tack room, you have obviously seen a dramatic improvement/change in our ability to service small animals. Things were admittedly a little "rough" back then🫣 We are super proud of the advancements we've made, not just with our physical space, but with our ability to offer significantly higher quality medicine. 
We know there has been some frustration regarding some of the medical improvements, for example heartworm testing every year in order to purchase heartworm medication, increased use of diagnostic test to confirm appropriate antibiotic usage, and the requirement for an annual physical exam for each animal. All of these changes were implemented to increase our standard of care for your pets.

Pictured below: the old tack room office...yes this is the WHOLE office!

Sandy, 6 years ago you stepped into the aisle of my barn and interviewed for a job you were massively overqualified for and I knew Stoney Hills had struck gold! Your impact on our clinic, and me personally, is staggering. You've walked with us through so much change - our first office/closet, adding 4 vets, adding support staff, adding small animal services, moving to our current building, adding countless new services, adding hundreds of new clients, new software services, joining Heritage, and so many other things! We've always had the relationship where you could say no, but most of the time you said how do we make this happen, and then made it happen. You're steady, dependable, resourceful , and driven.
Thank you for putting up with my crazy on the daily, holding me accountable to get things done, and believing in my goals🫶
Sandy has become a friend to many of you due to her being the front line in answering questions, but also due to shared passion for riding 🐎
Sandy, we are so excited for you to enter your next adventure - retirement! We wish you many miles of amazing trails and time with family. You will be deeply missed by us all!

There's a trend going around suggesting that Old Spice deodorant can be used as fly repellent on your horses. We strongly advise against this as it can cause serious skin reactions, including chemical burns!

It's a small miracle... we finally have signage!!!
On another note, we will be closed July 4th for the holiday 🎆 🇺🇸 We wish you all a happy weekend. Fireworks can be no joke for pets - especially dogs and horses. Please keep them as safe as possible and talk to your neighbors about responsible firework usage away from pastures.

The Office will be closed this afternoon from 1 to 5 for professional development.

July 4th is coming up faster than you think! Fireworks can be stressful for pets, so don’t wait—ask your vet now about calming medications or other ways to help keep your furry friend safe and comfortable. Just a reminder: we must have seen your pet within the last year to prescribe any medication.
