Mcdermott Veterinary Practice

This is why we do it. 🐑❤️

Nobody gets into farming for the easy days. They get into it for moments like this. A healthy animal, a full barn, and the kind of bond that only comes from showing up every single day.

This month is a good time to pause and appreciate how far your animals have come since winter. The work you put in during the harder months is showing up right now in real, visible ways.

Here's to the farmers, ranchers, and caretakers who never stop caring. 🙌

Did you know? Those pretty wildflowers in summer pastures aren't always as harmless as they look. 🌸

Several common field plants, including some thistle varieties and buttercup, can be mildly toxic or cause digestive issues in cattle and other livestock when grazed in large quantities.

Most animals will naturally avoid them when they have plenty of good forage available. But when pasture is overgrazed or dry, hungry animals are much less selective about what they eat.

Keeping forage quality high and monitoring grazing rotation is one of the simplest things you can do to protect your herd this summer. 🫡

This is what joy looks like, and it's contagious. ☺️

Getting outside with your dog isn't just good for them, it's good for you too. Studies show that walking with your pet can reduce stress, boost your mood, and strengthen your bond.

June is the perfect month to make it a daily habit. 🙌

Collars can break and tags can fade, but a microchip can provide a permanent path back home.

June is National Microchipping Month, and while these tiny tags cannot track location, a battery-free microchip provides a unique ID that stays with your pet for life. This tamperproof safety net significantly raises the odds of a reunion if registry details stay current.

Part dog. Part shark. 100% unstoppable. 🦈💦

Dog life jackets aren't just adorable, they're genuinely important for water safety, especially for breeds that aren't strong swimmers or dogs that are new to the water.

If your pup is hitting the pool, lake, or boat this summer, a properly fitted life vest is a must! 🙌

Stop in and we can help you find the right fit before summer gets into full swing.

There's a certain kind of satisfaction that comes with watching calves out on summer pasture for the first time. 🐄☀️

All the early mornings, the calving checks, the weaning stress, the feed adjustments... it all leads to this. Animals that are healthy, curious, and thriving.

June has a way of paying you back for everything you put in during the harder months. 🙌
