Stillwater Equine Veterinary Clinic

What Stillwater Equine Veterinary Clinic does

Stillwater Equine Veterinary Clinic is a 29-employee equine veterinary practice headquartered at 9550 60th St N, Stillwater, Minnesota, operating as a member of the PetVet Care Centers national network. The clinic serves horse owners across a regional service area spanning Stacy, MN to Hastings, MN and east into Wisconsin to Baldwin, WI, combining a state-of-the-art fixed hospital facility (padded surgical suite with recovery stall, heated treatment bay, in-house diagnostic laboratory) with a fleet of fully-equipped mobile equine units that deliver on-farm care. Services span routine wellness (vaccinations, dentistry, deworming, Coggins/health certificates), specialty care (lameness evaluation, board-certified equine surgery, ophthalmology via referral partners, breeding and neonatal care, pre-purchase exams), complementary therapies (chiropractic, regenerative laser therapy, extracorporeal shockwave, IRAP and PRP regenerative medicine), and 24/7 emergency response. Diagnostic capability is anchored by digital radiography, Aloka color-flow Doppler ultrasound, one-meter and three-meter endoscopy, and a full in-house lab (CBC, cytology, urinalysis, fecal egg counts) with SAA readers deployed on every mobile truck.

The clinic generates revenue through professional service fees for both in-clinic and mobile farm-call visits, with payment required at time of service, deposits required before diagnostics, and CareCredit accepted as a financing option. A secondary revenue stream comes from an FDA-regulated online pharmacy powered by Covetrus, selling pharmaceuticals, supplements, and compounded medications with AutoShip recurring ordering and home delivery. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, with patient acquisition driven by a content-marketing blog covering equine health topics, Facebook and LinkedIn social channels, community-organization partnerships, and word-of-mouth referrals within the regional horse-owning community. The team includes 9 veterinarians (two Medical Directors, a board-certified DACVS-LA equine surgeon, associates, and an intern), supported by a hospital manager, veterinary technicians, and client services staff. Operational hours run Monday-Friday 8:00 AM-4:30 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM-12:00 PM, with after-hours emergency coverage routed through an on-call paging system.
