About Our Services

equine surgical, medical and reproductive facility located
in Paducah, Kentucky.

EVS services the equine needs of Western Kentucky, Western Tennessee, and Southern Illinois by both
providing the routine equine veterinary care that is so important to the health of your horse and by treating
the ill or injured horse.

In selecting a veterinarian, your goal should be to find the doctor that best meets your needs and then to
establish a long-term relationship with that doctor. We understand the special bond between you and your
horse and know you want the very best care possible. Whether you have one horse, or a stable of horses,
no one is better qualified to provide the high level of care you expect than Equine Veterinary Service, because
we have made a professional commitment to excellence.

General Care and Treatment.

services designed to maintain your horse's health. Through regular examinations we can help prevent the
development of serious problems by recognizing and treating those problems at early stages. We will help
you learn how to maintain a happy and healthy horse and can advise you on all aspects of horse ownership
