REPRODUCTION
Equine reproduction is a large part of our practice especially in the spring. We do a lot of artificial insemination with both fresh and frozen semen. Mares are usually brought to our facility and stay until they are bred.
We also collect stallions to do fertility evaluations, prepare semen for shipment or to freeze semen.
We also provide storage for frozen semen.

Dentistry

We provide complete dental care for your horse. Horses should have their mouths and teeth examined once a year, performance horses, twice a year. It is a common misconception that only older horses need their teeth floated when in fact it is the young horse that often needs more dental care. We use a motorized tool called a power float to do most of the floating or removal of sharp points.

Radiology

We have both a portable x-ray machine to do x-rays at your farm and a stationary machine at the hospital which enables us to assess larger structures such as the head and back of the horse.

Ulatrasound

We use ultrasound for mares’ reproductive tracts, for tendon and ligament evaluation, for lungs, hearts and abdomens.

Surgery

We offer a complete surgical facility. Please see Facilities

Quarantine

We are an approved CFIA quarantine facility. Persons importing horses can have all the necessary quarantine procedures completed at our facility.

2. Clients receiving repeated veterinary service may be approved for monthly billing.
3. They will receive a monthly statement on the 25th of each month. Payment due upon receipt of statement. There is a $5.00 monthly rebilling fee and 2 % interest on accounts over 30 days.
4. A $20.00 NSF fee will be charged for any returned cheques.
5. Emergencies: we provide 24 hour emergency care to our clients. If we get two emergencies at the same time, our regular clients will be serviced ahead of the non client. When we are away, we will do our best to leave another equine veterinarian on call, however occasionally that is not possible and clients will have to make there own choice as to who to call in our absence.

7. Coggins tests require 10 days advance notice.
8. Health papers will be taken to the Federal Vet office in Vernon if we are going that way anyhow, otherwise they will be sent on Greyhound at the clients expense (or clients may take the Health Papers for signing themselves).
9. Second opinions: occasionally we will recommend a second opinion from another veterinarian in order to provide the best care possible for your horse. If you feel you would like a second opinion on a particular case we will encourage that too but prefer that you let us know you are getting a second opinion so we can provide the other veterinarian with as much information as possible.
10. Complaints should be directed at the veterinarians and not the staff – please let us know if something has made you unhappy as this is the only way we will know so that we can address the situation. Our goal is always to keep our clients satisfied.
