West Metro Wellness Programs
Our West Metro Wellness Programs are designed to help optimize your horse’s health in 2015. From pasture pets to
performance horses, it is important to consider your horse’s lifestyle and needs in the coming year when choosing a
program. Please review both options to see if one could suit your horse’s health care needs while saving 15% or more.
Please call to speak with one of our veterinarians if you have questions about which program is right for your horse.
We will contact you in early spring to schedule the appointments described in the wellness program you have selected.
Appointments are determined by your geographical location and every attempt is made to accommodate client
schedules.
To ensure we are offering your horse the best care for the best price we have made slight changes to each program.

This is a basic health program for horses with lower-risk lifestyles. Horses in a closed herd that are not frequently
exposed to other horses through travel, horse shows, etc. fall into this category. The program is typically completed in
two visits with a veterinarian performing physical and dental examinations of your horse along with the included
immunizations and internal parasite management. A physical exam is one of the most important diagnostic tools your
veterinarian utilizes to determine the health of your horse. At both visits the veterinarian will make specific
recommendations based on the examination findings and your horse’s needs. Additional discounted services are good
for one year from the date of enrollment.

This advanced health program is for horses with more frequent contact with other horses through boarding, travel or
competition. The program is typically completed in three visits with a veterinarian performing physical and dental
examinations of your horse along with the included immunizations and internal parasite management during two of the
visits. A physical exam is one of the most important diagnostic tools your veterinarian utilizes to determine the health
of your horse. During these visits the veterinarian will make specific recommendations based on the examination
findings and your horse’s needs. Routine dental care is also an important part of every horse’s well-being. This program
also includes routine dental equilibration (float) and sedation along with a detailed oral exam using visual dentistry
technique to assess your horse’s teeth and entire mouth. A dental report card will be provided to allow discussion of
exam findings with your veterinarian. If any dental problems, such as loose or fractured teeth, are identified the
additional treatment for these problems are not included in the wellness program and will incur additional charges.
Additional discounted services are good for one year from the date of enrollment.
Program Additional Details:
If the enrolled horse is sold, remaining services may transfer to a new owner, but only if horse is located within the
West Metro service area. Please notify West Metro Equine Practice in advance to confirm and arrange transfer.
These wellness programs are nonrefundable and nontransferable between horses, and included items cannot be omitted
for discount or substitution. Horses not previously vaccinated will require additional boosters and visits which are not
included in the wellness program. Stable Call Fees and Emergency Fees are not included in either program.
Horses must be at least one year of age to participate in the wellness program. Broodmares are eligible to participate,
but may require additional charges for services not included in the wellness program. Additional vaccines and
preventative health services which are not included in the wellness program may be recommended based on history,
stabling, and/or show schedule of each individual horse. Please alert us when scheduling your appointment of any
additional services your horse may need to assure the veterinarian has adequate time to spend with you and your horse.
Account balances on all of Owner’s accounts must be paid in full prior to enrollment in the wellness plan and future
prepaid services may be denied if account balances at either West Metro Equine Practice or the Veterinary Medical
Center are past due.
