Our reproductive services include breeding soundness evaluation for mares, artificial insemination with cooled or frozen semen, and mobile ultrasound for pregnancy checks.

Dental Care

Horses only get one set of teeth that continue to grow throughout their entire lives. As horses eat, their teeth grind and wear down, leaving harmful sharp points and other abnormalities.  Allow us to ensure your horse’s oral health by performing routine, sedated oral exams and dental floats to remove these abnormalities. Not only are all three of our large animal veterinarians skilled in dental floats, but one of our large animal technicians is certified to perform dental floats as well.
