April Special - Teeth and faecal egg counts

APRIL DEAL: BOOK A DENTAL EXAMINATION AND RASP - GET A FREE FAECAL EGG COUNT

It's that time of the year again - winter's coming! We had a great response to our deal last Autumn, so we thought - why not do it again? Horses all need regular dental checks and rasping to make sure that small points do not turn into big problems, such as weight loss, poor performance or head shyness.

Worm burdens can make horses colic, lose weight, cause a dull coat or just not perform up to expectations - but resistance to modern drugs is a real problem in the horse world, and will continue to be so. Worm egg counts are a really good way to decide on whether your horse actually needs worming or not.

So we figured, why not combine the two in a deal:

Routine check and rasp of teeth, including a light sedation, is $110 inc GST. If you pay within 2 working days of invoicing, you get 10% off so it would be $99.

If you book and have the visit done during April, then you will also receive a free worm egg count, worth $15. This includes free advice on management and worming.

The visit charge depends on where you are located but as an example, you can get a visit to the immediate Carterton area for $15 on a Thursday or the Upper Hutt area for $65 on a Friday (less the 10% for prompt payment).
