Our Equine Services include:
Emergency Services
Equine emergency services are available during designated hours to ensure timely, appropriate care while maintaining safe and sustainable coverage. Emergency hours are available from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, as well as the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month, and every other weekend (2nd and 4th weekends of the month).
If you experience an equine emergency during these hours, please call (320) 634-3558 to speak with our designated triage service. The triage team will gather information and notify Dr. Paige, who will contact you shortly to discuss the situation, emergency protocol, and next steps.

This structured emergency protocol allows us to provide focused, high-quality emergency care while ensuring clear communication and expectations for horse owners.

Testimonials
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Paige and the care she provides my horses! She takes her time to get to know each one individually and treats them all like they are her own. I could see the trust instantly. She is incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to answer any questions I have. Her last visit, Dr. Paige took the time to carefully evaluate each of my horses needs and/or lameness. She followed up after her visit to check on them and sent suggestions and recommendations on items to purchase for one of my horses. She goes above and beyond and I highly recommend!!

I have known Dr. Paige for years as we showed horses together when we were younger. When I found out she was in the area offering equine vet services, I reached out to her to do a teeth float on a gelding I had. When she got here I told her about this horse’s past and that he had been abused and may be very leery and potentially reactive to her. She remained calm and patient with him during his entire float, she took her time and was so conscientious in her handling of him, he didn’t have one negative reaction to this experience. I am very happy with the work she did and how she handled a difficult horse. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a professional veterinarian to care for your valued equines.
