Equine Area Visits

We offer routine equine area visits across Angus and East Perthshire on set days throughout the year.
These zoned visits are designed to reduce travel time which helps keep visit costs lower and allows our vets to spend more time with your horse.

Visit fees vary depending on the area and whether the visit is to an individual client or a shared yard.
Some areas have a reduced fixed area visit charge on zoned days while others offer lower rates when multiple clients are seen together.

Full details of visit dates and fees by area can be found below.
