The expense of treating horses with colic can often present financial stress to the client. Consequently, many horses that would otherwise carry a good prognosis with treatment are being euthanized due to a lack of available funds.
We recognize this problem and have created a solution for our clients: affordable equine colic assistance. This includes hospitalization, fluid therapy, supplies, medications, and intensive care.
- For all Owners
- For all Horses
- For all Colic situations
- Medical care at the Clinic for a fixed flat fee
- Enrollment sign up fee (see attached figures)
- Examination and enrollment form needed ($75 fee for both)
- 30 day waiting period to become active
- BRING HORSE TO CLINIC and …
- $500 deductible covers $3,000 of treatment!
A few restrictions do apply; these are listed below.
If we can address any questions or concerns that you may have regarding the program and/ or if you would like to participate, please stop by the clinic, call the office at 781-585-2611, or click here
