Perth Equine Vets was established in 2020 to provide a dedicated equine veterinary service to horse owners in Perthshire and surrounding areas.
Continuity of care is our practice ethos – we believe a trusting relationship between client, horse and vet is essential.
Where possible, the same veterinary surgeon will attend your horse for every visit – whether for vaccinations, lameness work-ups or other care. This helps build consistency and confidence over time.
We recognise that veterinary care is individual to each horse and owner, so we take time to explain treatment options clearly and support informed decision-making tailored to your horse.
We are based at Inveralmond Business Centre, PH1 3FX (what3words ///dime.pipe.wanted). Please feel free to drop in and say hello if you are passing.
At Perth Equine Vets, your horse receives high-quality, tailored care with a strong focus on continuity and trust.
Designed to keep your horse healthy and costs predictable.
Our Health Plan & Free Visit Scheme provides a set of annual services for a small monthly fee.
Alongside annual vaccinations, dental care, worm monitoring and other preventative treatments, the scheme gives our vets regular hands-on contact with your horses. This allows us to identify potential issues earlier and offer practical advice to help optimise their care.
On top of this, our innovative “free visit” scheme provides members with the ability to book free vet visits on specifically allocated days each month. Not only does this help with preventative healthcare, but ensures we have a clear picture of all the horses in our care.
This service is popular and has helped a number of our clients with issues that probably would not have been caught had it not been for our regular check-ups.
We are currently 10 strong – from a range of backgrounds but with a single passion for horses!
Our Commitment to Fair Pay
We are an accredited Living Wage Employer, committed to paying all staff above both the statutory minimum wage and the voluntary Real Living Wage.
This reflects our ongoing commitment to fair pay that keeps pace with the cost of living, now and in the future. We believe valuing our team in this way underpins the compassionate, high-quality care we provide to horses and their owners across Perthshire.
It is recommended that all horses are vaccinated, whether they go out competing or not. All horses can succumb to the fatal disease, Tetanus (lock jaw), which is preventable by a vaccination every 2 years.
Dental examinations are a vital part of the veterinary preventative healthcare for your horse. It is recommended that all horses have their teeth checked at least every 6 to 12 months in order to prevent problems building up and causing pain.
FWEC-guided worming is essential to help prevent anthelmintic resistance in horses. Routine blanket worming is no longer recommended; instead, treatment should be based on FWEC results and individual risk factors for higher worm burdens.
As a contributor to our local and the national equine community, we have a YouTube channel discussing various educational aspects of horse health & care.
