How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Okanagan Equine Veterinary Services
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

I am beyond amazed with Dr. Janice’s compassion, competence and selflessness.. My horse got badly injured during his evacuation out of the West Kelowna wildfire and needed to be sutured back together in multiple spots. Dr Janice, already busy with many horses hospitalized at their clinic at the time, made it to the Peachland Riding Club, where General was staying, within a mere 2 hours of my call. During the 3+ hour procedure she could not have been more kind-hearted, knowledgeable and reassuring that we did not need to worry and he would be back to normal in just a few weeks. With emotions already running high from being evacuated out of our house and barn with a horse, 2 dogs and 6 chickens we really felt like we were in great hands. I cannot recommend Okanagan Equine Veterinary Services enough and we are so lucky to now have her as our permanent go to Vet. With much love and gratitude, Anna, Erik and General

You need more than 5 stars! Dr. Janice Poznikoff and her team are absolutely amazing! They explain things without going all scientific/ medical terminology. And explain the steps of what they are doing. And with being a first-time horse owner(3.5 years later), they have been patient with me and taught me with hands-on... how to administer medications so I don't have to rely on others to do it for me. (Other horse owners have just done it for me as they were showing me. ) Thank you. I will definitely recommend you to others.

Some issues with communication with the office staff to set up my initial visit for a teeth float, but the service went well. The vet was very knowledgeable, made great suggestions and able to answer any questions I had with details and recommendations. I will definitely use them again for my equine.
