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!

Wow! What a night!
Thank you so much to you all for coming to our evening at Netherton Equestrian last night. We hope you learned something, and enjoyed it as much as we did. Together, we raised an incredible £980 for World Horse Welfare.
This evening could not have happened without the support of our wonderful speakers: local coach extraordinaire Diana Zajda, our very own director and internal medicine specialist Anna Hammond, and fabulous RAMP registered physios, Kim Gunstone and Catriona Goulding - who all donated their time and expertise to the cause. Also huge thanks to our veterinary supplies company, IMS for sponsoring the evening.
The sun is shining, spring is here and we are excited to help support you throughout the season ahead 🐴.

FWEC time 💩🐛
We have survived the winter and come out the other side into spring, which means one thing - time for FWEC to begin at the end of this month.
FWEC tests are done 3 times a year, at the start of the grazing season, in the middle of the summer and at the end of the season, roughly 8-10 weeks apart from each other. FWEC are really important in the fight against wormer resistance as it stops us from using wormers unnecessarily.
For all health plan members, you get 3 counts a year included in your plan. If you aren't on the plan we are more than happy to do the counts for you for £11.97 each.
To collect your packs, please pop into the practice or give us a call or visit our website and we can post them out. If your horse is on a large yard that we look after we do deliver a box of packs for the tack room, if this is running low, let us know and we will top it up. Alternatively, Netherton Equestrian and McCashes also have some in.

How to rehab your horse evening 🐴🏃♂️➡️
Only 1 week to go to the ‘how to rehab your horse evening’ at Netherton Equestrian.
Our last but in no means least member of experts is Diana Zajda, BHSI, BDCC3, UKCC3.
Diana is excited to give her input as an accomplished rider, well-qualified instructor and judge.
A little about Diana:
I have been coaching for a lifetime, beginning at a Hertfordshire riding school where I developed my early skills and love of competing, particularly in show jumping. After gaining my BHSII, I moved to Scotland to work at the Gleneagles Mark Phillips Equestrian Centre, where the mentorship of William Micklem FBHS helped me progress to achieving my BHSI.
During this time, I examined for the BHS, competed my event horse to advanced level, and developed a strong passion for dressage, producing several riding school horses to advanced level.
As Senior Coach and later Centre Manager, I trained staff and students while competing my horse Chablis, who won multiple Scottish titles and reached the National Championships. I coach riders of all levels, from novices to GB team athletes, and now focus mainly on dressage. I hold UKCC3, BDCC3, List 3 judging status, and para qualifications, and remain committed to continual learning and developing riders with a sympathetic, enthusiastic approach.

Member of RAMP IAAT ESMA
Catriona is currently undertaking a Post-Grad Certificate in Equine Performance and Rehabilitation.
Catriona says, in a constantly evolving world and industry our horses deserve the best we can give and standing alone we can not always achieve this.
Over the past few years I have pushed hard for collaboration - built a great team of professionals - coaches, saddle fitters, vets, dentists, farriers - that are all willing to adapt and work together and whom all have the horses welfare at the forefront.
Working on my own strengths and passions- having coached, ridden and competed to an ok level, worked in various yards and rehabilitation centres - and been a physio for over 20 years - biomechanics, rehabilitation, posture and way of going are my fortes.
Combining my strengths with other professionals strengths provides our clients and most importantly our horses with the best of all worlds throughout the rehabilitation journey.
