Do you wish you could take your horse to slimming world?

Are you worried about the laminitis risk?

Why not join the Barn Equine Surgery's Weight Wise Scheme, just like Archie!

Included with Weight Wise:

• A free starter pack including
  • A weight tape
  • A weight chart
  • A guide to body condition scoring
  • A discount voucher
  
  
• Book two Weight Wise appointments and get the third visit fee free! **
• Weight Wise appointments are available on our Zone Visit scheme.
• A Weight Wise appointment involves a veterinary examination and evaluation of your nutritional management.
• A nutrition plan will be tailored to your individual horse and we will set targets to work towards.
• We will follow your progress every 6-8 weeks and at each visit you will be provided with a weight graph electronically to map your achievements.
• Blood testing can highlight laminitis risk and track metabolic improvement achieved through Weight Wise.
• The seasonal Free ACTH lab fee can be incorporated into your visit, as can dynamic insulin resistance testing.*

Together we can stamp out laminitis.

          *Cushing's Disease and Equine Metabolic Syndrome account for 90% of laminitis cases.

Dynamic testing with an in-feed oral glucose challenge will involve prior planning with your vet, so please let us know if you would like to do this at Weight Wise Visit 1 when you book.
**Your third Weight Wise visit fee will be free of charge if booked on your zone visit day or a £15 visit discount can be applied to a standard visit fee at your convenience.

                 Of course you can incorporate your other veterinary needs into your Weight Wise appointments.
