Veterinary Care for Farm Animals and Equine
Equine
Wellness Exams
Wellness exams are an opportunity to evaluate your equine patient’s health and maximize the fullness of that life, both in terms of what your patient can do and for how long.
During these exams, we’ll discuss vaccination schedules, diet, and lifestyle choices for your equine patients.
Vaccinations
We have different vaccination needs based on species-specific diseases. Our veterinarians will work with you to set up a comprehensive, personalized vaccination schedule to protect your horse.

Parasites, and the diseases they carry, can be prevented with proper medication and vaccination.

Heartworms are a dangerous parasites that can damage the heart muscle, and can be fatal.

Dentistry
Routine dental floating is a critical element in maintaining a healthy horse. Removing sharp points from a horse’s teeth ensures that they can chew correctly and alleviates oral ulceration.
Sharp points and hooks can create painful areas which will cause a horse to resist the bit or begin to head toss. An oral examination can be performed to evaluate the need for dental floating in your horse.
Coggins Testing & Health Certificates
We also offer health certificates required by law. The health certificate states that the horse was free of infectious disease at the time of the examination. Health Certificates are usually good for 30 days after they are issued.
