Equine Health Flyer

As a responsible horse owner, you want your horse to thrive—physically, mentally, and emotionally. That’s why Equine Wellness Season is the perfect time to prioritize your horse’s health. Whether you’re preparing for show season, keeping an aging athlete comfortable, or simply ensuring everyday well-being, regular veterinary care is key.

At Uinta Veterinary Services (UVS), we offer a full suite of equine wellness services designed to keep your horse in peak condition. Here’s what your horse needs this season:

Essential Preventive Services Every Horse Needs

Stay ahead of illness with these core vaccinations and protections:

  • West Nile Virus
  • Tetanus
  • Eastern & Western Encephalitis (EEE/WEE)
  • Rabies
  • Influenza & Rhinopneumonitis (Flu/Rhino)

Vaccinating annually helps protect your horse from life-threatening diseases and supports herd health.

Strategic Deworming Plan

A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work when it comes to parasites. We customize a deworming schedule based on:

  • Your horse’s age
  • Environment
  • Fecal egg count results

Avoid random rotation of dewormers—let us help you develop a smart, effective plan to keep parasites at bay.

Annual Health Exam & Dental Float

Routine exams are the foundation of long-term wellness. Our comprehensive check-up includes:

  • Weight monitoring and body condition scoring
  • Nutrition consultation
  • Dental evaluation (including float, if necessary)
  • Vital signs, heart, and lung checks

Regular dental care ensures your horse eats comfortably and digests food properly—critical for performance and longevity.

Joint & Lameness Evaluations

Performance horses and aging athletes alike benefit from early intervention. Our lameness evaluations include:

  • Flexion tests
  • Hoof & limb evaluations
  • Joint injections & therapies
  • Maintenance plans to support mobility and comfort

If your horse is showing subtle signs of discomfort, now’s the time to get a professional evaluation.

Book Your Appointment Today

Equine wellness is an ongoing journey—not just a seasonal task. Whether your horse is a pasture pal, competition mount, or lifelong companion, preventive care makes a world of difference.

Call UVS today at 435-722-9066 to schedule your horse’s wellness check-up.

Let’s work together to keep your horse happy, healthy, and sound all year long.
