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.

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!

Foaling season is in full swing with this gorgeous little guy making an appearance last weekend. 🐴
Gayle went out and met him as mum had a few wee post-foaling complications and to do an IgG test on the foal to check he had received enough colostrum from mum in his first few hours.
We are delighted to report that they are both doing great now and foal is thriving! 💖
