Wellness / Preventive Care

Preventive care is crucial for maintaining your horse’s health. At Southwest Equine, we emphasize routine patient care as a vital step in preventing illnesses and ensuring your horse’s overall well-being. Each horse receives a free wellness examination during vaccination visits, and our vaccination and deworming programs are tailored to the age and use of each patient.

Our free wellness examination is conducted during vaccination visits and encompasses a thorough assessment of your horse’s overall health. This examination allows our veterinarians to identify any potential health issues early on and tailor preventive care measures accordingly.

At Southwest Equine, we understand that each horse is unique. Our vaccination programs are customized based on the age and specific use of each patient. This ensures that your horse receives the necessary vaccinations to protect against prevalent diseases relevant to their lifestyle.

We offer both routine and STAT Coggins tests, as well as health certificates for domestic and international travel. Whether you’re planning a local trail ride or international transport, our team ensures that your horse meets all necessary health requirements for a safe and stress-free journey.

Coggins tests are recommended annually.  Some states or countries may require a negative Coggins test within 6 months of travel.  Our veterinarians can provide guidance on the recommended testing schedule for your horse.
