Equine and Livestock Vet Care

Whether you have a family farm, livestock, or just love horses, regular vet care is important. It helps keep your animals healthy and happy, ready for anything that comes their way. At Stewart Animal Clinic, we offer the comprehensive care large animals need—from basic check-ups to emergency care.

What is Livestock and Equine Vet Care?

Livestock and Equine Vet Care refers to veterinary services for large animals, particularly those raised on farms or used for work, sport, or recreation.

Just like dogs and cats, horses and livestock need regular visits to the vet. Whether they’re working animals, farm companions, or competition horses, keeping them healthy means catching any issues early and preventing problems down the road.

Livestock Vet vs. Equine Vet

Livestock veterinarians are also known as cow vets, cattle vets, bovine vets, and more. Livestock vets provide veterinary care for farm animals like:

• Cows (Beef and Dairy): Whether herds are raised for meat or milk, vets keep them healthy, manage reproduction, and treat diseases.
• Sheep and Goats: Raised for wool, meat, and milk. Vets handle flock health, prevent diseases, and manage breeding.
• Pigs and Swines: Vets help with herd health, disease control, and nutrition for pigs raised for pork.
• Poultry (Chickens, Turkeys, Ducks): Vets keep flocks healthy and prevent the spread of illness.
• Llamas and Alpacas: Vets provide care for members of the camel family, focusing on nutrition, dental health, and wool production.

Equine veterinarians, also known as horse vets, specialize in veterinary care for horses.

• Horses: Horse care includes routine check-ups, equine dental care, equine reproductive care, horse nutrition, injury treatment in all breeds of horses.
• Donkeys and Mules: These animals get similar care to horses, but with a focus on their unique health needs.

We offer a full range of services to keep your animals feeling their best, including:
