“I had the opportunity of working with Southwest from all ends – as an employee and a client. As a client – they are wonderful, treated my horse with the utmost care and saved his life. I was kept aware of everything they did and ever need of my horse. As an employee they were equally as wonderful to work for – I learned so much and completely enjoyed my job!”

“I have had the privilege of using Dr. Ashley Alward as my horse’s vet for a number of years, and couldn’t be more pleased. She is knowledgeable, intelligent and very kind. Cindy, the Office Manager at Southwest Equine, is also amazing and very responsive to any concerns or needs. I HIGHLY recommend Southwest Equine for any medical needs of your horse!”

Shelly C

“My horse developed severe allergies/asthma upon moving to AZ. We went through a few vets and weeks of him battling this (but didn’t know what it was). Another vet referred us to SW Equine, Dr. Alward Specifically. She had his condition figured out in just a few days and got him on the right treatment plan. We are headed home with him today. Dr. Alward is hands down the smartest, most compassionate vet I’ve ever met. The secretary Cindy is so sweet and helpful. The vet techs were all amazing and spoiled my boy. I can’t say enough good about this practice. Your horse will be in the best hands.”

“When my mare had a hind end lameness that needed to be pin-pointed, I turned to the vets at Southwest Equine. Dr. Gazzerro and Dr. Alward were extremely thorough in her lameness exam, spending a lengthy time evaluating her. They took the time to explain everything to me, so I understood all the implications and next steps. They’re professionalism, knowledge, compassion and communication with the horse owner are outstanding. I highly recommend Southwest Equine if your horse has a medical need!”

“When I moved to Arizona I started my veterinary career at Southwest Equine and I have been involved with the veterinarians and staff there since 1985 and it is still and has always been a great place. I still refer cases there all the time and feel confident that they will handle the horses and their problems in the most appropriate way. I will continue to be involved with them as long as I am a veterinarian.”
