Equine Guelph offers a new online tool for horse owners

Guelph, ON – Live and online now, Equine Guelph’s new Vaccination Equi-Planner, sponsored by Intervet Schering-Plough, is a tool designed for horse owners to generate personalized immunization schedules for their horses.

Horse owners are asked to complete six questions that help us determine individual farm differences and risk factors, including: age, use, sex, exposure to outside horses and geography. This data is then compiled in a program, and a printable customized vaccination schedule is provided for each horse.

“Vaccines are an important part of a horse’s preventative health program,” says Dr. Richard Conrad, Technical Services Consultant for Intervet Schering-Plough. “This new tool is a great starting point for horse owners and veterinarians to discuss the appropriate use of vaccines for their horses.”
