For horse owners, the goal is always a happy, healthy horse. At Carter Veterinary Services, we believe in looking at the bigger picture when it comes to your horse's health. While conventional veterinary medicine provides invaluable diagnostic tools and treatments, we've found that integrating holistic approaches can significantly enhance a horse's overall well-being.

Beyond the Basics: Comprehensive Wellness Exams
We see a wellness exam as a crucial opportunity to gain a full understanding of your horse's health. More than just vaccinations, these appointments allow our team at Carter Veterinary Services to assess everything from their diet and dental health to their joint mobility and hoof condition. This comprehensive check-up is our first step in a proactive strategy that helps us to detect potential issues before they escalate into serious problems.
The Role of Nutrition
A proper diet is fundamental to a horse's well-being. That’s why our equine vet team goes beyond just recommending feed. We analyze your horse's specific needs based on their age, activity level, and any underlying health conditions. Our nutritional guidance is tailored to support everything from digestive health to muscle development.
Integrative Therapies and Modern Medicine
We embrace a blend of traditional and integrative medicine using advanced diagnostic tools like digital radiography alongside therapies such as acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments to address lameness and pain. This combination allows us to create a truly personalized treatment plan for each patient, targeting not just symptoms but the root cause of the issue.
Your Partner in Equine Emergencies
Unexpected situations can arise, and when they do, you need a trusted partner you can rely on. Our dedication as a horse vet extends to providing 24/7 emergency horse vet services. We understand the stress of these moments and are prepared to respond with speed and expertise.
