Before scheduling an appointment, continue reading to learn why vaccinations are crucial for your horse’s well-being!
Equine Vaccines Provide Protection Against Diseases
Vaccines help protect your horse from potentially life-threatening diseases such as tetanus, rabies, equine influenza, and West Nile virus. These diseases can cause severe illness or death, and in some cases, they can be transmitted to other animals or humans. By protecting your horses from serious diseases, you enhance their chances of leading a comfortable life.
Prevent the Spread of Disease
Vaccination not only protects your horse but also helps prevent the spread of contagious diseases within the equine community. Those that travel, compete, or are in contact with other horses are at higher risk of exposure to infectious diseases. When you keep your equine healthy, you're doing your part to keep other horses healthy.
Cost-Effective Care
It's expensive to treat a horse with a serious disease. Keeping your equine animals vaccinated can help to protect their health over time, keeping your horse happy and your veterinary bills down. We're happy to work with you to develop a vaccination plan that makes sense for your budget.
Legal Requirements
In an effort to protect all animals, many states and municipalities have legal requirements for equine vaccination. Ensuring that your horse is up-to-date on vaccines can help you avoid fines while protecting the health of your horse. Additionally, many shows and competitions require current vaccinations for participation, so staying compliant supports your horse’s ability to compete and excel in various events.
