Penhale Equine Clinic was established in 2005 as a branch of Penbode Veterinary Group dealing solely with equidæ. Our dedicated team of equine vets, all living within half a mile of the practice, provides comprehensive cover for all equines, including a 24 hour emergency service. We are very ably supported by skilled nursing and lay staff.
Our ambulatory service covers areas including Camelford, Bude, Bideford, Launceston, Hatherleigh, Okehampton and beyond and is supported by our well equipped clinic base in Holsworthy. Our facilities enable us to meet all your horse’s needs, from vaccination and worming to lameness investigation, reproduction work and surgery. We are constantly updating and advancing our services and facilities to ensure we offer all our patients the best possible care.
