Providing exceptional service

Our aim is to provide not only an exceptional service to your animals, but a service that makes life as easy as possible for you. We have a state of the art mobile app allowing us to access clinical records stable-side. We provide clear, personalised invoices and treatment plans to summarise what is discussed at consultations. We can also separate invoice items, for example to ease insurance claims. We routinely provide reminders for visits, vaccinations, dentistry and worming/egg counts, and can also send reminders for repeat blood tests or prescriptions.

Our Core Services

As Nicola works in a university centre we have access to all the latest published research ensuring we keep up to date with the latest developments in new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. This enables us to offer a very high quality, dedicated equine veterinary service. Click to view more information about our services.

Vaccinations

As well as being an important preventative health measure, vaccinations provide a point of contact to discuss overall health and condition.  We include a general health and dental check at no extra charge.

Dentistry

We have kept up to date with the huge advances in equine dentistry that have occurred in the past decade. We have the expertise, experience and equipment to diagnose and manage a wide range of routine and more complicated dental conditions.

Worming

Our worming programmes are carefully designed to keep your horses healthy. We encourage using our targeted worming programme to help prevent wormer-resistance, by reduced use of drugs and monitoring for resistance.

Microchips-Passports

We are able to provide and submit fast-track as well as normal and replacement applications, for standard and breed-society passports, which are a legal requirement for all horses.

Imaging

X-ray – Ultrasound – Endoscope
Our portable digital x-ray system provides instant x-rays for immediate interpretation. Our scanner and endoscope have mains and battery-powered options giving great flexibility even when facilities are limited.

Behaviour

We apply learning theory and humane, scientifically proven techniques including positive reinforcement and over-shadowing to enable needle/vet-shy horses to be treated calmly. We can also help with behavioural problems encompassing disturbances in physical, physiological, nutritional and psychological well-being.

Vettings

As very experienced equine practitioners, following a very thorough examination, we will provide you with our professional opinion on the suitability of a horse for you and the likelihood that the horse will be fit to pursue your chosen activities.

Referrals

We have strong relationships with a network of RCVS recognised Specialists in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Dentistry and Cardiology to whom we can refer. Several of these provide mobile services so you can continue to be fully involved in procedures.

Laboratory

We run worm egg counts in-house and stable-side, and routinely submit other diagnostic samples to a range of Specialist Veterinary Pathologists to ensure the highest level of testing and result interpretation. Urgent tests can usually be reported within hours.

Castration

Colt castration is the most common surgical procedure that we perform. We castrate most colts in the field under standing sedation and local anaesthetic or a short general anaesthetic.

Prescriptions

For horses on long term treatment, we can provide repeat prescriptions for horses and donkeys under our care.
