Services
Equine Breeding
Our equine reproductive specialists manage all aspects of horse breeding from mare preparation to foaling. We offer ultrasound monitoring, estrus synchronization, and pregnancy management for optimal outcomes. With advanced facilities and experienced veterinarians, we support breeders in producing healthy foals while maintaining mare health throughout the breeding process.
Dental Care
Comprehensive equine dental care includes routine floating, oral examinations, and treatment of dental abnormalities. Our veterinarians use specialized equipment to smooth sharp enamel points and correct malocclusions. Regular dental maintenance prevents pain, improves feed efficiency, and enhances overall health in horses through biannual checkups and emergency dental treatments.
Emergency Care
Available 24/7 for life-threatening conditions including trauma, poisoning, and colic. Our emergency team coordinates immediate diagnostics and critical care interventions. We stabilize patients with intravenous fluids, pain management, and surgical interventions while keeping owners informed throughout the treatment process for improved patient outcomes.
Vaccinations
Custom vaccination programs protect against core equine diseases and region-specific pathogens. We administer rabies, tetanus, EEE/WEE, and West Nile vaccines following AAEP guidelines. Our veterinarians create tailored plans considering each horse's travel history, use, and exposure risk factors for comprehensive disease prevention.
Wellness Checkups
Annual health assessments combine physical exams, parasite control, and bloodwork to detect early disease indicators. Our comprehensive wellness plans include nutritional counseling, hoof care evaluation, and dental screening to maintain optimal health across all life stages for working horses and companion animals.
