Dr. Sarah’s Essentials

08/28/2026

This week Dr. Sarah is putting in work at the AABP's 59th Annual Conference in Minneapolis, learning alongside bovine practitioners from across the country.

But for her, it's never just about checking a box. Every session is a chance to bring sharper, more current care back home to Arcadia, for the herds she treats and the family products she formulates. 🐄🔬

Staying current for the barn means staying current for your family too.

That's the full Barn Medicine Cabinet: seven products, not fifty. Season after season, these are the ones Dr. Sarah actually reaches for on her own farm - nothing kept around because it "sounds good on a label," only what's earned its spot through repeated use.

Wound & skin: Arnica Salve Hooves: Foot Fix Spray + Hoof Healer Cream Udder health: Savvy Udder Salve Bruising & soreness: Arnica Ointment Fly season: Shoo-Fly Hydration & appetite: 'O' PectiLyte™

Barn Medicine Cabinet, Part 6: Fly Season 🪰

Dr. Sarah recommends keeping at least one Shoo-Fly product on hand; the concentrate works well for larger operations, while the 50/50 is built for direct daily application. Whichever fits your setup, it's one of the seven essentials she never runs out of.

Not just for humans. 🐄💪

Dr. Sarah reaches for Arnica Ointment on her animals just as often: bumps, strains, inflamed tissue, everyday soreness. It's a staple, not an afterthought.

Barn Medicine Cabinet, Part 4: Udder Health 🐄

Savvy Udder Salve does more work than almost anything else in Dr. Sarah's cabinet, udder conditioning, cracked teat care, and support for mastitis prevention, plus double duty as a general skin ointment anywhere on the animal.

One product, a lot of coverage.

Barn Medicine Cabinet, Part 3: Hooves 🐄

Dr. Sarah keeps two hoof products on hand, and each has its own job:

Foot Fix Spray goes on preventatively; she uses it every time cows come through for milking.

Hoof Healer Cream comes out once an issue is already established and needs more targeted care, especially for a wrapped hoof.

Barn Medicine Cabinet, Part 2: Wounds & Skin 🩹

Dr. Sarah's go-to for cuts, scrapes, and sores is Arnica Ointment. It's formulated to work directly on open wounds and skin irritation, one product that covers most of what shows up on a working farm.

Every farm has a version of a medicine cabinet, a shelf in the tack room, a bin by the barn door, a pile of half-used bottles nobody remembers buying. 🐄

The problem isn't having one. It's that most get built reactively, something's purchased the day a problem shows up, used halfway, then forgotten until the next emergency.

Dr. Sarah keeps her own barn cabinet stocked with just seven products, the ones that have earned their spot through actual, repeated use on her own farm. Over the next week, we're breaking down what's in it and why, one category at a time. First up: wound and skin care. 👇

Dr. Sarah's daughter has been part of the DSE production line for years now — measuring, mixing, and getting every batch just right. Small-batch and USA-made, made by hands that have been at this a while. 💚
That's what farm to family really looks like.
