Guarding the Health and Well-being of Your Equine Companions

Equine Wellness

We understand the importance of proactive healthcare in safeguarding your equine partner’s health and ensuring their longevity. Vaccinations and Coggins testing are integral components of this preventive care. Our dedicated team of equine veterinarians is committed to providing you with comprehensive vaccination protocols and Coggins testing to protect your horse from infectious diseases.

Our approach to equine vaccinations includes:

Booster Shots

Timely booster shots are administered to maintain your horse’s immunity.

Customized Schedules

We work with you to develop a vaccination schedule that is tailored to your horse’s age, lifestyle, and potential exposure to diseases.

Core Vaccinations

We provide essential core vaccinations that protect against diseases such as Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis, Tetanus, West Nile Virus, and Rabies.

Risk-Based Vaccinations

For horses at higher risk due to factors like travel or exposure to other horses, we offer additional vaccinations against diseases like Influenza, Rhinopneumonitis, and Strangles.

Coggins Testing

Protecting Against Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA), also known as “Coggins disease,” is a serious viral infection that can be transmitted by blood-feeding insects, primarily horseflies. It is essential to detect and manage EIA, as it can lead to chronic illness or, in severe cases, the euthanasia of infected horses.

Our Coggins testing services include:

Regular Testing: Coggins testing is typically required for travel and events, and should be performed annually or as recommended by our veterinarians.

Rapid Turnaround

We provide efficient and timely Coggins testing to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Consultation

Our veterinarians will discuss the test results with you and offer guidance on managing and protecting your horse from EIA.
