Routine & Dental Care
Dr. Frehner is available for all of your horses routine medical care-vaccines, well check, worming, foals, etc. And he specializes in Equine Dentistry. All of these needs can be performed at your own home or boarding facility and most procedures are done in the horses own stall.
Emergency & Urgent Care
Dr. Frehner is available 7 days a week to handle any emergency care your horse may have. Emergencies can be things such as colic (belly ache), lacerations or sickness. If you ever feel that your horse needs emergency treatment, do not hesitate to call immediately.
