About Us
At Arlington Equine, we are dedicated to enriching the bond between you and your horse by providing comprehensive veterinary care that keeps your equine companion healthy for as long as possible. Our team of experienced veterinarians, led by Drs. Gregory Dowd and Shannon Guy, is committed to delivering the highest level of service and care to ensure your horse's well-being.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of services designed to meet the unique needs of your horse. From routine 'Wellness' care to advanced diagnostic procedures, we are equipped to handle everything from basic check-ups to complex lameness evaluations. Our spring and fall vaccine protocols include thorough physical exams, including ophthalmological, dental, heart, and respiratory assessments. We also provide dental care, using the latest hand and power tools to maintain and correct dental issues.
Our diagnostic capabilities include digital radiography, ultrasound, and thermography, which help us identify and address various health issues promptly. We are also equipped to perform standard surgical procedures, including wound repair, castrations, and tumor removal. Additionally, we offer extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and mesotherapy for pain relief, as well as regenerative medicine options like Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein (IRAP).
Chiropractic Care
We believe in the importance of maintaining your horse's overall health and well-being. Our chiropractic care services focus on restoring movement and balance to the spine, helping to alleviate biomechanical dysfunction and promote optimal body function. Dr. Guy, certified by the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association, uses a manual therapy approach to detect and adjust Vertebral Subluxation Complexes (VSCs), which can lead to improved mobility, reduced inflammation, and enhanced performance.
Pre-Purchase Exams
Whether you are buying your first backyard horse or a top-level competition horse, our comprehensive pre-purchase exams are tailored to meet your needs. We take the time to discuss your hopes and expectations for your prospective horse and gather all pertinent medical information from sellers, farriers, and previous veterinarians. Our goal is to provide you with all the facts necessary to make an informed decision.
