Horse Owners
These are some resources for current horse owners who may need some assistance.
The Vet Direct Program is designed to help owners in need pay for emergency procedures, like:
-
Colic that can be managed on the farm (non-surgical)
-
Stitches or staples
-
Wound management
-
Choke
-
Eye issues
-
Neurologic impairment
-
Diagnosis of endocrine issues
-
Euthanasia and disposal, if recovery is unlikely
Think your horse might be candidate for the program? Contact your vet to ask if they’re enrolled in the Vet Direct Safety Net – the process is simple!
While it’s common for people to regularly think about what they need to do to establish their will and ensure that their property and belongings are taken care of in the event of their death, it’s not common that their horses are included in this process. Without a will, your horse could become the property of your heirs, and these family members may have no interest, or even the required knowledge, to inherit and care for your horse.
