Spring has sprung and summer is upon us. This means warmer weather, flies and shiny coats.

Dryland Distemper could come back. Last spring many horses here in East County were infected with Dryland Distemper. Most of you whose

horses were affected by it have learned how to treat it and have battled it off. Please know that it could come back this year and effective fly

control is your best defense. If possible try to gain your neighbor’s help too in controlling these pests as flies carry the infection from property

to property. Lets help others help us.

Preventicare is a health care program designed to provide financial help (up to $5,000!) in the event of colic surgery for horse owners that follow

 Pfizer’s health care guidelines.  The best part about Preventicare is that many of you are already in compliance with the guidelines set by Pfizer.

 Dr. Sergent feels that this is an excellent program.  Pfizer’s requirements for this program are merely the basics that everyone should be doing

to insure the overall health of their horse.  To register and qualify for the Pfizer Preventicare program, you must do the following:

 

Have an annual physical exam, dental exam and dental “float” done by your

      enrolling veterinary clinic.

Have your veterinarian immunize your horse annually and semi annually.

 

Use Strongid C 2X daily dewormer.  This must be purchased through your vet.

 

Have your veterinarian deworm your horse twice a year with a Pfizer Ivermectin 

      product.

Participate in nutritional counseling with your veterinarian.

 

In return for your compliance with these guidelines, Pfizer will pay up to $5,000 of your horse’s colic bill if it should require surgery.

All County Equine Services requires that Preventicare customers pay for the yearly services at the time of enrollment.  By doing this, clients

receive a free physical exam for their horse and a discount on Strongid C2X throughout the year.

 

 

 

The A.C.E.S Wellness Program is designed to condense all of your annual veterinary costs in to one payment at a discounted price. This program offers three different levels of care tailored to fit your horses’ needs and your budget. Although similar to Pfizer’s Preventicare program, our wellness program is ideal for horses that may not qualify for Preventicare. The A.C.E.S wellness program comes highly recommended for owners who care about their horses’ health maintenance and their budget.
