Did you know that Bungendore Veterinary Surgery now offers a dedicated in-clinic equine day once a week?
We love getting out on the road and visiting our equine patients, and we know that for some horses, an on-farm visit will always be the best option. But for many routine procedures, bringing your horse into the clinic can be easier, faster, safer and significantly more cost-effective.
So, before automatically booking an on-farm visit, why not consider bringing your horse to us?
One of the biggest advantages of an in-clinic appointment is the potential savings. When you bring your horse to us, you can avoid the additional costs associated with a farm visit, including higher consult fees and mileage charges.
If you have a horse that is easy to float, bringing them to the clinic can be a great way to access the veterinary care they need while keeping the overall cost of the visit down.
Our dedicated in-clinic facilities include a state-of-the-art covered equine crush, providing a safe and practical environment for both horses and our veterinary team.
It is particularly ideal for procedures such as equine dentals, where good facilities, appropriate restraint and plenty of room for equipment can make the whole experience smoother for everyone involved.
No worrying about the weather, no trying to find the flattest patch of ground and no hoping that the rain holds off long enough to finish the appointment!
We have ample float parking, making it easy to bring your horse in for their appointment.
Simply arrive, unload, let us take care of your horse’s veterinary needs and then head home again. For many routine appointments, it can be a much more straightforward option than waiting around all day for a vet to arrive between other calls.
Our weekly equine clinic day also allows us to offer appointments with greater availability, and in many cases, we may be able to see your horse at relatively short notice.
Because the veterinary team is working from the clinic rather than travelling between properties, we can often make much better use of the day and see more equine patients efficiently.
That means less time spent on the road—and more time actually looking after horses!
Another major advantage of bringing your horse into the clinic is having access to a full team of people.
During an on-farm visit, the veterinarian may have limited assistance available. In the clinic, however, there are often multiple staff members nearby who can assist with procedures, equipment, monitoring and handling when required.
More hands can make many procedures safer, smoother and less stressful for both horses and humans.
While your horse is receiving the attention they need, you might even be lucky enough to enjoy a cup of tea.
We cannot make any promises about the quality of the tea—or whether the person making it has remembered where the good biscuits are—but if you ask nicely, we will certainly do our best!
We understand that bringing a horse to the clinic is not always possible, and our vets will continue to provide on-farm visits when needed.
However, if your horse floats comfortably and requires routine veterinary care, our dedicated weekly in-clinic equine day could be the perfect option.
With excellent facilities, a covered equine crush, plenty of float parking, more staff on hand, improved appointment availability and potential savings on travel and mileage costs, there are plenty of reasons to consider making the trip.
Your horse gets great veterinary care. You may save some money. We have more hands available. Nobody has to drive around looking for your front gate… and if you’re lucky, there might even be a cup of tea waiting for you.
