2020 Equine Preventative Health Care Packages
At Dickinson & Baird Veterinary Hospital we are wellness advocates. Good preventative healthcare practices can help prevent emergencies, intervene earlier in the case of illness or disease, and overall produce a healthier horse. Each year our equine service offers a comprehensive healthcare package that includes many of the components you are familiar with in an annual veterinary visit. Our packages are an annual prepaid health program that ensures your horse receives all of the preventative health care it needs over the course of the year. As a package, you save more than 10% on regular fees. In addition, as a member of the program, your registered horse will receive a 5% discount on all other invoices over the course of the year (including emergencies, medications, dewormers, supplements, exams, call fees, etc.).
