Excellence in Care
Excellence in care sets us apart.
As a registered veterinary technologist, it's important we walk the talk with our dogs and horses. From everyday care, grooming, bathing, feeding and fun, below are some products that we reach for to keep everyone happy inside AND out!
Our Frequently Used Products
EQyss Marigold Coat Conditioner
This conditioner has REALLY helped Cait, our Irish Sporthorse mare, keep her coopery shiney coat in tip top shape. She has struggled with dry skin in the past, and is sensitive to sweat left on her skin. A quick wipe with a damp cloth and a light spray with EQyss Marigold has kept her sheen all year. Extra bonus when we add it to hot water and do a quick towel steam, removing dirt and grime but protecting the natural coat oils! It's a MUST HAVE
Available through some veterinary clinics and select tack stores or

Purina ProPlan 30/20 Salmon and Rice
We keep our show dogs on Purina ProPlan foods, after they have finished their puppy food or if they need to join the rest of the pack at meal time! Nutrition is a complex topic and everyones got an opinion! As an all life stage diet (meaning a puppy can go onto this and have their needs met), the 30/20 Salmon and Rice helps the Labs stay sleek. Food must be measured and we routinely body condition score everyone to maintain ideal body and muscle mass.
Chuck and Molly, our seniors, do better on the Purina ProPlan 27/17 Lamb and Rice...the 30/20 just is a bit rich for them leading to the pounds packing on...Chuck doesn't want his food restricted any more than neccessary!!
Available at Peavey Mart, several local pet supply stores or

Royal Canin Large Breed Puppy
All our puppies start solids with Royal Canin (RC) Large Breed Puppy food and go home with a bag to help limit tummy upset in their new homes. We recommend they stay on a quality large breed puppy food until 15 months. RC and Proplan are our favorites. Locally available through many pet stores, we stock up at PetsAlive or PetSmart or...

PcEoTllar LED Dog Collar
With fall approaching, and the daylight getting shorter, it's hard to keep track of our chocolate and black dogs!! These collars light up great and help keep everyone safe...and they are super fun!
These collars are best placed on the dog right before they go outside for a walk or play...I do not recommend them for all day wear. And if you try a different brand, check the clip is strong enough for a leashed walk...we would hate for your friend to gallivant into the starry night!

CET Enzymatic Chews - Extra Large
Labs are chewers and I LOVE the CET chews that are enzymatically treated to help breakdown tartar build up, keeping teeth cleaner, breath fresher and satisfying the dogs natural urge to chew. Supervise your dog with all chews...just in case!
CET Veggie Dent is a good option for dogs with protein senstivities or food allergies!
