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!

Eyes 👁️
Did you know eye issues are classed as an emergency? ‼️
With eyes, we always worry, as very quickly things can escalate and could affect the horse’s vision. Eyes can also be very painful without obvious external signs.
Signs that your horse may have a sore eye include:
👁️swollen eyelids
‼️tiny pupil on one side
👁️holding eye closed
‼️blinking excessively
👁️tearing or discharge
‼️Cloudy eyes
👁️Rubbing eyes excessively
Any of the above denotes that you should call the vet now for advice. If possible, snap a picture and send into us.
Depending on other signs and symptoms, it may be acceptable to wait overnight to arrange a visit.
As always, give us a call if you’re at all worried.

Vaccinations 💉💉
Did you know it’s not just equine influenza and tetanus vaccinations we recommend?
Equine Herpes Virus, for competing horses and studs is a very important virus that can cause respiratory signs, fever and abortions.
Strangles is a disease that is every horse owner’s nightmare. There is now an excellent vaccine available - perfect for horses that go out competing a lot, or for horses that live on busy competition yards with lots of horses coming and going, or at yards where there is not a strict isolation policy.
Remember that health plan members get 10% off additional vaccinations, too.

Tapeworm Testing – Spring Reminder 🌱
Spring is the time when mites become more active, which means tapeworm contamination on pasture starts to increase.
We recommend testing for tapeworm at least once a year. However, on some yards we may advise a different approach depending on individual risk.
If your horse had a high tapeworm result in the autumn, it’s a good idea to repeat the test this spring.
Why test?
Early signs of wormer resistance are now being seen. We want to avoid treating horses that don’t need it, as unnecessary worming speeds up resistance and increases the risk of treatment failure.
It’s also important to remember that as few as 20 tapeworms can cause clinical disease - so this is not something to ignore.
One Equisal tapeworm test can be included in your health plan or purchased separately. Health Plan members also receive detailed risk assessments with our vets to ensure the most appropriate, targeted worming strategy for their yard.

Perth Equine Vets is relocating! ✈️
As many of you will know, Anna spent a lot of time in Australia in her early years as an equine vet and Camilla headed out there with her family in December 2024 to do some stud work and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Following one of the wettest winters on record that we have seen here in Scotland, this has got Anna and Camilla to thinking about warmer climates, thus making a huge decision.
Perth Equine Vets Scotland is moving to become Perth Equine Vets Australia!!
The full team are absolutely thrilled to be joining them in this relocation with their families and Penelope is already checking out which sunscreen will stop her beautiful palomino coat from fading! 🌞😎
If anyone would like to join us in this relocation, please get in touch by the end of the day today.
