Emergency Coverage & Policies

We are thrilled to announce that we are now uniting together with veterinarians from several local clinics to provide weekend and holiday emergency equine coverage through an equine emergency co-operative. This ensures that you, as a horse owner, always have an on-call veterinarian on weekends and holidays. Please keep the following information handy so that you are prepared for emergencies and have a plan in place.
