"I have never had such an amazing experience with a vet! We are from Florida where we had the same large animal vet for years so when we got to Georgia we were glad to find such a reliable and caring group of people!

Equine dental checkups are a critical component of your horse's overall well-being, often underestimated but essential for their comfort, performance, and longevity. Regular horse dental care, including floating (filing down sharp points), prevents painful ulcers and ensures efficient chewing and nutrient absorption. Contact Carter Veterinary Services, your trusted Lowcountry livestock vet, to schedule a dental examination and keep your equine companion healthy and happy.
Equine deworming is crucial for maintaining a healthy herd, preventing health issues like colic and weight loss caused by parasites. Best practices include regular Fecal Egg Counts (FEC) to strategically target treatments and prevent overuse of deworming medications, along with pasture management to minimize parasite exposure. Prioritizing equine disease prevention and working with your veterinarian ensures the health of your horses.
