Delaware Vets Equine Zone Days
By assigning an equine vet to your area Monday to Thursday, we can offer a discounted visit fee for routine procedures. This allows reduced cost and easier access for our clients to regular routine preventative veterinary care throughout the practice area and allows yards to arrange, on behalf of the owners, a visit for groups of horses requiring routine preventative procedures. We also are able to see you and our patients more regularly.
Areas covered by the Equine Zone Days
Delaware Vets Equine Zone Days operate each weekday except Friday. The visit can be booked weeks in advance, but the latest time to book is 2pm the day before your allotted Zone Day. An appointment time is allocated and we will phone you after 2pm the day before your visit, to confirm the allocated time. (Clients with Monday as their Zone Day are phoned on the Friday afternoon before.)
To qualify for a discounted zone visit, there must be no money outstanding and payment for all work carried out must be made at the time of the visit. You will understand that to allow us to arrange an efficient zone visit list, specific time requests or preference of vet are unable to be complied with.
