Ambulatory Services
Our ambulatory veterinarians provide on-site equine care for wellness exams, reproductive services, and emergency treatment. Utilizing mobile diagnostic equipment, we deliver acupuncture, dentistry, and lameness evaluations directly at client facilities. Complex cases receive immediate referral to our hospital specialists for advanced care.
Equine Dentistry
Comprehensive oral health services include routine floating, endodontic procedures, and advanced imaging diagnostics. Our specialists use power instruments with irrigation for precise treatments, addressing performance issues caused by dental abnormalities while preventing systemic health complications in horses of all ages.
Diagnostic Imaging
We employ CT, MRI, PET scans, and digital radiography for accurate equine diagnostics. Our imaging specialists perform standing endoscopy and ultrasonography to detect lameness causes and internal conditions, enabling targeted treatment plans for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
Reproductive Medicine
Advanced equine reproduction services cover fertility management, embryo transfer, and stallion semen processing. Our theriogenology team provides pregnancy monitoring, neonatal care, and specialized facilities for high-risk pregnancies, supporting successful breeding programs for performance and companion horses.

Took my grade trail horse there for evaluation of neurological issue and they treated him like a champion race horse. The Vet and all the employees were very professional, helpful and took time to explain all our options and answer all of our questions. Thanks to all of you.

We get our cat meds called in here. Great place with friendly staff. They also have a lot of stuff for dogs. There is an added bonus of the driving tour, ummer months are best for it.

The tour was amazing! I took my daughter (13) and she found it so interesting. It's amazing on what they all do there at their location. Watching the surgeries was super cool. It is worth going and taking in all they have to show you. They do amazing things there and glad they are able to help the animals in need. The tour guide was very informative and knew her stuff. It was an amazing tour and probably take it in again in the future!

Great clinic. Dr. Tanner was our doctor today. Him and all the staff working with my mare were spectacular. I will be switching over to Rood and Riddle as my main vet for all my horses.
