Our Services
Basic primary care such as preventive and dental services, laboratory diagnostics, and emergency care for your sick or injured equine companion is a large part of what we do. However, we also offer many advanced services such as digital radiography and ultrasound, endoscopy, EFSWT ("shockwave"), mesotherapy, and regenerative therapies. More recently Dr. Dorothee completed her training in VSMT ("chiropractic") and is adding more "body work" modalities such as dry needling and myofascial therapy. These modalities can benefit horses of all "occupations", from enabling a sport horse to be competitive at the national level to ensuring that your retired buddy of many trail rides can live out his life comfortably. We also provide a large range of reproductive services, from artificial insemination to foaling out mares.
While we offer only a limited number of surgical procedures we prepare patients for referral to more advanced surgical centers.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Shop With Us!
Do you shop online for pharmaceuticals for your horse? Do you think that our prices can't compete with the likes of Chewy and Valleyvet? You may be surprised! While we have to mark-up items which we physically carry in stock, we try hard to price items that never pass through our inventory as reasonably as we can. AND, because we drop-ship directly from our supplier you can rely on that they have been properly stored and handled!
Even better, some manufacturers offer coupons which apply only when you order through your veterinarian, so check out what we have to offer!
Prescription items from the Rivendell Online Store are available only to clients and patients of Rivendell Veterinary Care, PC.
Supplements We Like
While we are generally very skeptical of the plethora of supplements on the market below are those that we DO recommend. Some of them we use with good success on our own horses, like the Accel Lifetime vitamin and EquiThrive Complete Joint supplements. and many items on this list are backed by research, not just anecdotes and testimonials.
