Services
Wellness Care
We create customized wellness plans addressing vaccination, deworming, and dental care tailored to your horse's lifestyle. Annual fecal testing identifies appropriate dewormers, while comprehensive exams detect early health issues. Our Zoetis vaccines include an immunization guarantee, ensuring protection against core equine diseases while supporting preventive healthcare budgets.
Equine Dentistry
We perform annual dental exams and corrective floating to address sharp points, hooks, and wave mouth deformities affecting chewing efficiency. Performance floats enhance athletic responsiveness by improving oral comfort, while advanced diagnostics address severe dental issues requiring specialized treatment plans for optimal equine health.
Lameness Evaluation
Our comprehensive lameness exams combine physical assessment, nerve blocks, and imaging technologies to diagnose mobility issues. Digital radiography and ultrasound identify musculoskeletal abnormalities, enabling targeted treatment plans that restore performance capability and improve quality of life for affected horses.
Emergency Care
We provide 24/7 emergency services for colic, trauma, birthing complications, and other acute conditions. Our mobile capabilities allow immediate on-site assessment, while established client relationships enable rapid decision-making for critical cases requiring urgent intervention outside regular business hours.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our state-of-the-art digital radiography and portable ultrasound equipment enable immediate on-farm diagnostics. This technology supports rapid fracture identification, soft tissue evaluation, and reproductive assessments, facilitating timely treatment decisions without transporting horses for diagnostic imaging.
