ALERT! There is
currently an EEE ( Eastern Equine Encephalitis) outbreak
in our area. Confirmed cases have been seen in Calhoun,
Barry, St Joseph, and Cass counties. there have also
been several horse deaths in Jackson county believed to
be from the EEE virus. Unvaccinated horses in or near
the affected areas should be vaccinated immediately .
Horses who have been vaccinated should receive an EEE
booster. EEE is nearly always fatal, but the vaccine is
very effective at preventing infection.
Summer! The grass is green, the
mosquitoes are biting and its hard to remember the
bitter cold of winter as you are sweating in the saddle.

We are a mobile clinic located in the Jackson MI area. We serve
the surrounding areas of Parma, Spring Arbor, Munith, Stockbridge, Chelsea,
Dexter, Ann Arbor, and beyond. We are a full-service
equine clinic, entirely mobile/stall side.
We place a real emphasis on the horse-owner
bond, and on trying to develop strategies to make
veterinary care less stressful for the horse and the
owner.
 We have some unusual hours--Mon, Thurs, Fri from 11 am to 8pm, and Sat
and Sun 10 am-4 pm. With the current economy, we hope
not having to take an extra day from work for horse care
will help horse owners out!
We offer emergency services
24 hrs/day 7 days a week |
