I can’t thank the perth equine team enough for the incredible service they provided. After being told by my own vet that my horse had a very loud heart murmur and a high heart rate, he advised it may be worthwhile getting a specialist in to double check with the specific equiptment required. I was extremely stressed. I couldnt find anyone locally who had the expertise and portable equipment or that was willing to travel out to see him.
Then I found this practice, and despite not being a registered client and being quite far away from them in the borders, they were more than happy to help and arranged to visit my horse all the way from Perth. They made him a priority and were able to see him within just 3 days, which was such a relief during a very worrying time.
Anna, the specialist who attended, was absolutely wonderful. She arrived on time, instantly reassured me, and took her time to calm my boy’s nerves. She spoke to him gently throughout the whole examination, which made a huge difference to how relaxed he was. Her knowledge, professionalism and genuine caring manner were exceptional.
The entire experience from start to finish was excellent, and the price quoted was really good value for such a high level of specialised care. I’m so grateful for the kindness and expertise shown to both me and my horse.
I would highly recommend this team to anyone needing specialist equine cardiology services, truly outstanding care! If you want exceptional knowledge and care for your horse you will not go wrong with this team as your vets! Thankyou from my family to everyone in the Perth Equine family.
Welcome back, Dan!
A few of you may remember the wonderful Dan Richardson, who was with us for a couple of weeks in summer 2023.
We are delighted to say that he is joining us again for a week to cover some holidays next week.
A little about Dan:
I studied at Glasgow Vet School, competing alongside Camilla on the riding teams, before spending the last 7 years working in both permanent and locum roles. I’ve had experience working in the Southern Hemisphere as well as closer to home in Scotland, including a stint at the Weipers Centre working alongside Katie.
I’ve just returned from New Zealand, where I was working during the breeding season with all types of horses, from racehorses to mules, and miniature donkeys to trotting horses.
I’m looking forward to catching up with some clients I met back in 2023, as well as meeting new ones.
For those who don't know Dan already, we're sure you'll love him!

Every client who registers with Perth Equine Vets will receive a welcome letter detailing important practice information.
Something that is so important, but something we hope we never need as horse owners, is what do to in an emergency.
The answer is simple - always call the practice number on 01738 259427. This is the same whether it is in hours, or out of hours.
Urgent advice? Not sure if your horse needs a visit or not? Call 01738 259427.
We will always be on hand to discuss your horse - it is better to phone for advice - we can help you remotely if this is possible - and can advise you on what to look out for, and when to call back for a visit.
With Perth Equine Vets, you will always get a horse-only vet, meaning your horse will receive treatment from vets who deal with horses 100% of their time. The on call vet will be ready to respond, and rearrange non urgent visits as required to ensure we get there as quickly as possible.
Our office team are fully trained to answer emergency calls and triage these to the on-call vets. You will find their manner caring and efficient and know when you have spoken to them, your call will be dealt with urgently. They will keep you updated every step of the way with what they have arranged for you based off the vet's guidance.

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.
