The changes to veterinary care in our province have many horse owners understandably concerned about their ability to receive care. Like the other handful of private large animal practices in the province, we have been inundated with new client requests from horse owners looking to establish a VCPR. We are accepting new clients in the Saint John, Sussex, Fredericton and Moncton regions and are actively recruiting new veterinarians to ensure we can handle this added caseload, and continue to offer the same high-quality personalized care to horse owners in an expanded service territory.
Our base clinic is in Norton with easy access off the highway, short term stabling and safe handling facilities for horses. We make weekly trips to service the Moncton and Fredericton areas and will be continuing to provide after hours care, as always. For clients who keep their horses at a distance of 45 minutes or greater from our home base, we do advise that they be prepared to trailer in the event of the need for urgent care. Of course, in cases such as a down horse, severe lameness or severe colic that would preclude safe trailering, ambulatory care would be provided at your farm. If you are looking to be added to our client list, please send an email to [email protected]
We require all horses to be kept current on rabies and tetanus vaccines at minimum and to see our patients for an annual wellness exam, vaccines and/or dentistry at least every two years in order to be eligible for 24/7 after-hours service.
