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,

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.

Vet Trust Conference 2026
Our wonderful co-owner, vet and internal medicine specialist, Anna had a wonderful day yesterday at the Vet Trust conference where she was asked to be a speaker.
The subject she was speaking about was strangles. Strangles is such an awful disease and can cause so much devastation on a yard so research, treatments and discussing it within the industry is paramount.
Thank you to Vet Trust for inviting Anna to speak.
If anyone has any concerns regarding strangles or would like to find out more about the vaccine that we offer, please do get in touch.

Sarcoids
What are sarcoids?
A tumour! Whilst they rarely metastasise to distant sites, they are a locally invasive cancer. They are the most common skin tumour in horses and can have a significant effect on local function and welfare. Secondary ulceration of the masses may result in infection and further discomfort.
How are sarcoids diagnosed?
Most often we diagnose and classify sarcoids by their appearance and behaviour. The 6 types of sarcoids are: occult, verrucose, nodular, fibroblastic, mixed and malevolent/malignant. Looking at the pictures, you can see how variable they are! Other molecular and microscopic techniques are available in equivocal cases.
How are sarcoids treated?
There is currently no uniformly effective therapy for the treatment of sarcoids. Reported success rates between studies are widely variable and recurrence post-treatment occurs frequently. Treatments range from simple surgical excision, to chemotherapy, radiotherapy or even freezing with liquid nitrogen. The most appropriate treatment depends on the type and location of the sarcoid.
Please contact PEV to discuss the most appropriate treatment for your horse.

Internal medicine at Perth Equine Vets
At Perth Equine Vets, we are incredibly lucky to have 2 internal medicine specialists, business co-owner Anna Hammond and equine vet, Katie Offer, working within the practice.
An equine internal medicine specialist is an equine vet who has undertaken further study to gain more knowledge and a higher qualification. It usually takes between 3-5 years to gain this qualification.
What we can offer:
✅ Cardiology (echocardiography, exercising ECG)
✅ Ophthalmology assessments & standing procedures
✅ Neurology & headshaking investigations and treatment
✅ Respiratory & gastrointestinal investigations
✅ Urinary assessments, dermatology & intradermal testing
Usually, an internal medicine specialist works within a hospital setting so to have 2 specialists working within a first-opinion practice not only allows our clients the very best of care but also allows us to offer an ambulatory second opinion to clients of other practices throughout the whole of Scotland without their horses having to go to a hospital.
For more information about what we can offer, please have a look at our website or give us a call.

Weight clinic ⚖️
Camilla came back briefly from her maternity leave on Friday to run a weight clinic on a local yard with Sam.
We are easing her in gently ahead of her proper return in August 😊
She loved chatting to some of our wonderful clients, seeing their horses looking so well and offering advice on feeding and workload to keep the weight off over the summer months. ❤️
There was also some interesting talks about flu which is quite a subject at the moment and who should look at boosting their vaccinations.
If you are interested in holding a weight clinic on your yard, please do get in touch.
