It is hard to believe we are already thinking about spring appointments, but with the way winter has treated us, warmer days will be a welcome sight. Spring is one of our busiest seasons at Oliver Mobile Veterinary Services, and we encourage horse owners to schedule early, as appointments fill quickly once the weather breaks.
We are happy to combine services when time allows, helping you make the most of each visit and keep your horses healthy and comfortable going into the active season.
Annual Wellness Exams Are Essential
To qualify for emergency coverage and prescription refills, every horse patient must have a wellness exam once per year. If we perform an annual dental exam (float) for your horse, that wellness exam is included and will not be charged separately.
Services commonly performed during spring visits include:
Annual wellness exam
Equine dental equilibration / float / sedated oral exam
