Have you noticed bug season starting earlier and finishing later? Have changes in the weather caused more standing water in your paddocks? If you answered yes to these questions and wonder how climate change may impact your horses, not to mention your vaccination program, read on!

Each year, Equine Guelph declares March as Vaccination Education Month. Before the vector borne diseases get their wings, it is a good time to visit the Vaccination Equi-Planner (TheHorsePortal.ca/VaccinationTool) kindly sponsored by Zoetis. The interactive healthcare tool helps you start the conversation with your veterinarian by exploring what a customized immunization schedule looks like for your horse.

“Vaccination is an incredible tool for enhancing a horse’s level of protection against infectious disease. Zoetis’ portfolio of equine vaccines can be tailored to meet the needs of YOUR horse, with products providing coverage against core and risk-based diseases in a range of convenient formats designed to elicit optimal levels of protection,” says Tamara Quaschnick, DVM, Veterinary Services Manager, Zoetis. “Your veterinary care team can help you best utilize this tool, ensuring that your horse is getting the right coverage at the right time.”
