Pacific Crest Equine

What Pacific Crest Equine does

Pacific Crest Equine is a full-service equine veterinary hospital headquartered in Exeter, California, serving horse owners across the Central and South San Joaquin Valley. The practice delivers comprehensive clinical and field services including soft-tissue and orthopedic surgery, dentistry, lameness evaluation, internal medicine, regenerative therapy (PRP, IRAP, ProStride, stem cell), 24/7 emergency care, pre-purchase examinations, vaccinations, and equine breeding and reproduction services including stallion management, embryo transfer, and USDA-approved international semen shipment. Distribution is dual-channel: a fixed hospital facility at 2500 E Myer Ave with surgical suites, an in-house diagnostic laboratory, and a neonatal ICU, supplemented by fully stocked mobile ambulatory trucks that provide on-farm care across Tulare, Fresno, Kings, and Kern counties.

The technology stack centers on specialized equine diagnostic equipment uncommon in general practice: digital radiography, quantitative ultrasound with tendon injury scoring, videoendoscopy, FLIR thermography for lameness detection, and Lameness Locator for objective gait analysis, supported by an in-house lab covering hematology, chemistry, cytology, microbiology, parasitology, foal IgG, uterine cultures, semen evaluation, and Coggins testing. A USDA-approved stallion collection facility and foaling stalls with 24-hour video monitoring extend technical capability into reproductive services. The practice operates an FDA-regulated online pharmacy through Covetrus and uses DocuSign for client forms; CareCredit and Scratchpay are accepted as patient financing.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees across the full equine care spectrum, supplemented by subscription wellness plans (Active Prevention, Equine Essentials, Performance Horse) billed monthly at approximately 20% savings versus à la carte pricing, and pharmacy transaction revenue through the Covetrus storefront. The customer base is segmented into general horse owners, performance and competition horse owners, and breeding operations. The practice operates as a member of the PetVet Care Centers network, which provides corporate back-office, recruiting, and branding infrastructure while the Exeter location retains local operational leadership.
