Dates in need are June 21st 2026 through July 4th 2026. Housing would need to allow either one dog or one cat.

Please comment if you have temporary housing available and our Hospital Manager will reach out!

How often does my horse need a flu/rhino vaccine?
A. Yearly
B. Every 6 months
C. Every 4-6 months.

C. Every 4-6 months. The efficacy of the F/R vaccine begins to wane at 4 months If horses are in high-risk situations or traveling frequently, stay very up to date on this vaccine. If horses remain at home in a closed herd, this vaccine is elective. However, be aware of potential risks from visitors or in case of emergency hospitalization or travel.
