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.

Grass Flush Alarm! 🌱
The combination of warm temperatures and recent rain has caused the grass to grow rapidly, with a surge in sugars and nutrients.
We’re seeing the knock-on effects, with an increased risk of spasmodic colic and laminitis.
⚠️ Be extra vigilant with your horses and ponies right now. Those prone to laminitis are particularly at risk, but any horse can be affected by sudden changes in grazing.
Keep a close eye on your horse, monitor grazing carefully and don’t ignore early signs of colic or laminitis.
If you strip graze: Be conservative with the amount of fresh grass your horse is getting this weekend.
Always call for advice if you’re at all worried:

Sponsored rider update 🏇
A lovely, honest update from one of our sponsored riders, Kirsty about how her last month has gone.
"Thank you so much to everyone at Perth Equine Vets for sponsoring me but also allowing me to share my story so honestly.
Rather than asking me to write about results or achievements, they encouraged me to write the real story behind this season and my partnership with Lili..
the highs, lows and everything in between, as that is, of course, the reality of horse ownership. Having phoned Anna initially to ask her to give the sponsorship to someone more deserving, to have this support has meant more than they will probably ever know.
I hope that if one person reads it and feels a little less alone or a little kinder to themselves then it’s worth sharing. Also signing me up for the next year of sponsorship, there’s bound to be some future highs to share too, hopefully featuring my other young mare Heidi too!”. ❤️🤍

🦷 Why does equipment matter in equine dentistry?
Good dentistry isn’t just about skill - it’s also about having the right tools.
At Perth Equine Vets, every dental includes:
🔹 Full-mouth speculum (gag) for proper visualisation
🔹 Head stand for stability and safety
🔹 Motorised dental equipment for precision work
🔹 Dental flushing systems for a clean, thorough exam
This allows us to properly assess every tooth - not just the easy-to-see areas.
Better visibility = better care = happier horses.
☎️ 01738259427 to book in.
