I can’t thank the perth equine team enough for the incredible service they provided. After being told by my own vet that my horse had a very loud heart murmur and a high heart rate, he advised it may be worthwhile getting a specialist in to double check with the specific equiptment required. I was extremely stressed. I couldnt find anyone locally who had the expertise and portable equipment or that was willing to travel out to see him.
Then I found this practice, and despite not being a registered client and being quite far away from them in the borders, they were more than happy to help and arranged to visit my horse all the way from Perth. They made him a priority and were able to see him within just 3 days, which was such a relief during a very worrying time.
Anna, the specialist who attended, was absolutely wonderful. She arrived on time, instantly reassured me, and took her time to calm my boy’s nerves. She spoke to him gently throughout the whole examination, which made a huge difference to how relaxed he was. Her knowledge, professionalism and genuine caring manner were exceptional.
The entire experience from start to finish was excellent, and the price quoted was really good value for such a high level of specialised care. I’m so grateful for the kindness and expertise shown to both me and my horse.
I would highly recommend this team to anyone needing specialist equine cardiology services, truly outstanding care! If you want exceptional knowledge and care for your horse you will not go wrong with this team as your vets! Thankyou from my family to everyone in the Perth Equine family.

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.
