Vet Direct Safety Net: What Horse Owners Need to Know

Would $600 help with an emergency vet bill? 

The Vet Direct Program is designed to help owners in need pay for emergency procedures, like: 

• Colic that can be managed on the farm (non-surgical)

• Stitches or staples

• Wound management

• Choke

• Eye issues

• Neurologic impairment

• Diagnosis of endocrine issues

• Euthanasia and disposal, if recovery is unlikely

Think your horse might be candidate for the program? Contact your vet to ask if they’re enrolled in the Vet Direct Safety Net – the process is simple!

It cannot be used for:

• Colic surgery

• Vaccinations 

• Ongoing medication needs
