Equine and large-animal vets near Fort Worth
33 veterinary practices are mapped within about twenty-five miles of Fort Worth. Not all of them see horses: call and ask whether they are equine or mixed practice, whether they make farm calls, and what their after-hours cover is. Register before the first colic.
Around Fort Worth the summer problem is humidity: once air temperature plus humidity passes 150, a horse cannot shed heat, so work early, hose after, and keep electrolytes and shade in front of them. Winters are mild enough that most horses go unblanketed with a shelter.
The 33 veterinary practices, closest first
Before you go
- Ask: equine or mixed practice, farm-call fee and radius, emergency cover (their own or a referral hospital), and whether they do dentistry and lameness work-ups.
- A farm call runs $50–$120 plus the work; annual vaccines, Coggins and a dental about $300–$600 a horse in most of the US.
- Have the horse caught and in a well-lit, dry spot with power nearby for the dental or ultrasound.
What works
- Split farm calls with barn-mates on vaccine day.
- Keep the vet's number, the nearest equine hospital and your trailer plan on the stall card.
- Know your horse's normal temperature, pulse and gut sounds; the vet will ask.
- Dental once a year, twice for seniors and young horses.
- Ask about a care plan if money is tight; a plan beats a surprise.
