North West Equine Vets Ltd

North West Equine Vets Ltd is an independent equine practice treating horses, ponies and donkeys, with full surgical and hospitalisation facilities and a 24/7 emergency service (365 days a year). The website indicates it’s set up for both first-opinion work and more involved investigations (for example lameness/poor performance work-ups and gastroscopy), alongside routine care such as vaccinations and dentistry. In the latest written reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention clear communication (“kept you informed”) and specific help with an acute problem (treatment of “choke” in an older horse).
