At Perth Equine Vets, we know how important horses are to their owners, so your horse will only be attended by an experienced equine-only vet, whether it is in hours, or in the middle of the night.
In an emergency, dial the practice number: 01738259427 and press 9 to be transferred to the duty equine vet.
Worming based so FWEC results are vital to prevent resistance from becoming a real problem in our horse population. Blanket worming all horse regularly is no longer recommended and should be based on FWEC results,
Having access to state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging equipment to be used at your own yard, is vital to ensure rapid diagnosis. The ultrasound, endoscope, x-ray generator and processing unit are all completely mobile, meaning
It is recommended that all horses are vaccinated, whether they go out competing or not. All horses can succumb to the fatal disease, Tetanus (lockjaw), which is preventable by a vaccination every 2 years.
At Perth Equine Vets, we know how important horses are to their owners, as everyone is just as horse-mad as you are.
Continuity of care is our practice ethos – we know how important it is to establish a trusting relationship between clients, their horses, and the vet. Therefore, we will ensure, that as much as possible, the same vet will attend your horse for recheck examinations. This vet will always be an experienced, equine-only vet. Veterinary care is individual to both owner and horse circumstances, so a blanket approach or a “one size fits all” is not appropriate in the majority of cases. Our clients trusting their vet is something that is very important to us.
We strive to offer a service where care, compassion, and excellent veterinary care are delivered in one package.
All appointments require horses to be registered with us, which is free and can be done here. Registration ensures we are familiar with the horse’s condition before treatment. It also helps maintain accurate records, which could be crucial in emergencies.
To register, you’re welcome to ring us on 01738259427 or use one of our contact forms to send an enquiry via email at info@perthequinevets.com
For emergencies, please call 01738259427 and press 9 for the duty equine vet.
For preventative procedures, and spreading the cost of preventative care, our health plan is an excellent way to keep on top of your horse’s care in a regular, controlled and reliable way.
Our plan includes the following benefits: –
It is priced at £18.97 per month, with no joining fee.
This allows for maximum coverage (even for the tightest budgets!) with a fully qualified equine vet providing assurance, support and advice on best to maintain the health of your horse.
Of course, surgeries and extraneous procedures will cost extra but, as the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure – it is far more effective to catch issues before they become significant problems, than having to dig deep into your pockets for emergency surgery later.
Typically, we suggest registering your horse before attempting to set up an appointment. This provides us with most of the details we would request anyway, and ensures the speediest response. If you have an emergency, please call us using the number highlighted above.
If you have already registered your horse, please use the button below to submit an appointment request form. We will contact you with further details!

📣 Let’s Talk Vaccinations! ❤️🐴
Keeping your horse healthy starts with prevention, and vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect them against serious disease.
Here’s a quick guide to the core vaccines currently available in the UK and what we recommend at Perth Equine Vets:
Tetanus
Tetanus bacteria live in the soil, and even tiny wounds can allow them in. Unfortunately, tetanus is nearly always fatal - but completely preventable with vaccination.
This is why we strongly recommend that all horses are vaccinated for tetanus.
Strangles
Strangles can cause severe illness, yard lockdowns, and around 10% of cases develop complications, including the potential for death.
We recommend the strangles vaccine for:
• Horses that mix with others
• Young or older horses who may be compromised
• Horses living with companions who regularly travel and could bring the infection home
Equine Influenza
Flu spreads easily, and not just by nose-to-nose contact - it can travel on the wind!
Even horses who stay at home should be vaccinated if they live near others who go out and about. While influenza isn’t usually fatal, it can cause a severe, prolonged cough and significant downtime.
We recommend flu vaccination for all horses who mix with others or live in busy environments.
Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1 & EHV-4)
Vaccination is especially important for:
• Broodmares – to reduce the risk of pregnancy loss
• Competition horses travelling to stay-away shows – to reduce respiratory symptoms and virus spread
💡 Want to learn more?
We have lots of information available on our website, including up-to-date guidance on vaccination schedules.
Recommendations do evolve as new evidence is published, and at Perth Equine Vets our two in-house internal medicine specialists ensure we stay fully current with the latest research.
If you’d like to book vaccinations or chat through what’s right for your horse, just get in touch ❤️🐴

Farrier CPD for Anna
Business co-owner and vet, Anna, attended a farrier CPD last week.
CPD (Continuous Professional Development) is a vital part of being a vet. The world of veterinary is ever-changing and staying up to date is not only something all of our vets love but is also a requirement set by the RCVS. 🤓
At the CPD, they looked at the use of new materials that have been 3D printed and how they may be of benefit in different cases.
There is a new type of shoe and insert that has been designed with laminitic horses and ponies in mind, something which Anna is very keen to try out in the future.
Here she is pictured with the wonderful, Jim Ferrie, master farrier and all-around legend!
If you have any questions regarding these new shoes and pads and if they would be of benefit to your horse, please do get in touch.

❤️ Throwback to this time last year! ❤️
Camilla travelled all the way to Melbourne to gain more hands-on experience in reproductive mare scanning 🇦🇺🐴.
She spent time at the world-renowned Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital, learning from some of the best in the field - and bringing that knowledge home to share with our clients (and mares!) here in Scotland.
Our stud medicine service is led by Anna, an Internal Medicine Specialist and Certificate holder in equine stud medicine, who previously taught vet students about equine reproduction. Her expertise helps ensure every breeding case receives the highest level of care and insight. 🌟
It’s never too early to start planning for the 2026 breeding season - speak to our experienced team today to start making a plan for your mare.
