3 Parasites in all animals Big and Small Ok folks, I know that I always talk about the deworming issue. Now is the prime time and the perfect scenario of events to get you to pay a little closer attention to your animals. The grass has stopped growing, the parasites are on the move. The result is that our animals are going to needs our help. Pay attention to their eating habits and their bathroom breaks. And remember, you will not see the worms only the difference in your animal s behavior. We are in the Fall season and is the better time to attack the tape worms in our horses and other grazing animals. If you are not sure consult your vet, otherwise we carry the items that you need and can answer most of your questions. Many of you are coming in with issues of flies, fleas, ticks and even rats. The pests are really bad right now and are getting worst with the wet weather. We can help with ALL of these issues. Stop by and let us help. We have some GREAT new items for the Fly and Rodent problems. We hosted an Equine Seminar on Oct 23 rd Tr icks & Treats for the improvements of the Top Line and Body Condition of the Horse during cooler Weather Conditions. Our Feed Representative with Southern State and Nutrena were here to help address issues that have been concerns for many for some time. We discussed: Overview and Understanding Feedlines Ulcer Issues Digestibility factors Body Condition Scores Improving the Top line Had a great group of people, great participation and questions.
