Services
Equine Dentistry
We provide comprehensive dental care for horses including power floating, sharp enamel point removal, and corrective dental equilibration. Our sedated procedures address performance-related discomfort and structural dental issues using modern equipment. Regular dental maintenance prevents weight loss, improves feed efficiency, and enhances overall animal comfort while riding.
Emergency Care
Our 24/7 emergency response covers acute injuries, colic episodes, and reproductive emergencies for horses and livestock. Equipped mobile units enable immediate on-site treatment of critical conditions while maintaining communication with owners about next steps and facility transfer options when needed.
Vaccinations
We administer core and risk-based vaccines following AAEP guidelines with tailored schedules based on individual animal exposure risks. Our protocols include rabies, tetanus, West Nile, and respiratory disease prevention, combined with education about vaccine effectiveness and herd health strategies.
Reproductive Services
Comprehensive equine and livestock reproductive care includes pregnancy diagnosis, artificial insemination, and fertility management. We offer frozen semen storage, postpartum exams, and neonatal care for mares and foals, supporting successful breeding programs through advanced reproductive technologies.
Lameness Diagnosis
Our lameness evaluations combine physical examination with digital imaging and diagnostic nerve blocks to identify musculoskeletal issues. Treatment plans may include joint injections, shockwave therapy, or corrective shoeing prescriptions that improve performance and comfort in sport and pleasure horses.
