DESERT HORSE'S UPDATED SERVICES FOR 2025
We've had some inquiries about services and prices for 2025; hopefully this will help! If you have additional questions, please let us know. The best way to reach us currently with questions is to email us at [email protected]. We have a hard time keeping track of Messenger, text, calls, FB comments, and emails. To schedule an appointment for your horse, please contact my fabulous assistant, Noell Devenny, directly using Messenger.
1. Maintenance Dental Floats (including brief exam, sedation, reduction of sharp enamel points and minor irregularities, and Banamine for seniors): Start at $235 for horses up to 19 years of age. A maintenance float for a senior (20-30 years of age) starts at $285.
2. REGULAR Maintenance Dental Float: Starts at $210 for horses up to 19 years of age, and $260 for horses 20-30 years of age. This price is for horses that we have floated teeth on within the prior 15 months.
3. Wolf Tooth Extractions: This is $75/tooth if your horse is already with us for a dental float.
4. Additional Sedation and/or Correction of Significant Malocclusions: If your horse is particularly resistant to sedation, or has serious dental issues requiring extended work, additional charges will apply.
5. Wellness Exams: This is a full physical exam to check your horse's general health. This is $50 when added to a dental float appointment. As a stand-alone service, we offer full exams for $75.
6. Online Prescription Authorization: If your horse needs prescriptions, we can authorize these for you at the online pharmacy of your choice if your horse's wellness exam (required for this service) warrants it. We offer this service for $25/prescription/year.
7. Vaccines: These are offered on a limited basis, and must be pre-paid. We are happy to administer them to horses having full wellness exams. We don't stock these, so please let us know if you want these well in advance so we can order them for you. We offer EWT (Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Western Equine Encephalitis, Tetanus), WNV (West Nile Virus), EHV/EIV (Equine Herpes Virus ("Rhino"), Equine Influenza Virus ("Flu")), and rabies vaccines.
A. EWT: $21
B. WNV: $30
C. EHV/EIV: $31
D. Rabies: $32 (10 horse minimum)
8. Sheath Cleaning: We can get that yucky sm**ma out of your gelding's private bits so you don't have to! We do this for $30 when added to a dental appointment. If your gelding objects to this service in a dangerous fashion, we will be unable to proceed.
9. We can no longer work on draft breeds or horses that bite/kick/rear/strike/run us over when sedation is attempted. I no longer have the upper body strength to work on your really large friends, and neither myself nor my assistant can afford to get hurt trying to work with dangerous patients.
Having our clients trust us to look after their equines is a true privilege. We are looking forward tp another season of caring for your equine friends in 2025!
