FAQs About Equine Vet Care in Manitoba
How often do horses need a wellness exam?
Most horses benefit from a yearly wellness review. Seniors and horses with ongoing issues often do better with twice-yearly check-ins so problems are caught early.
What records should I have ready for my horse?
If possible, have vaccination history, farrier schedule, deworming details, dental history, and any medication reactions or allergies available. Feed and turnout details also help.
How do I prepare for a mobile vet visit?
Have your horse caught and in a safe area with good footing and lighting. Keep a halter and lead rope ready, and clear the space of obstacles.
Where are injections commonly given in horses?
Many injections are given in the neck region, depending on the medication and the horse. If you need to administer medications at home, we can show you the safest technique for your situation.
Do I pay at the time of service?
In most cases, yes. If you have questions about payment options, ask when booking so we can set expectations before the visit.
