Patients include race and performance horses of all types and owners who want the best for their "partners". They expect innovation in treatment combined with an instinctive understanding of their horse.

Major fields of interest in our practice include:

The state-of-the-art clinic houses an extensive examination area containing digital fluoroscopy, digital radiography and digital ultrasound diagnostic equipment. Shock wave therapy and standing procedures are also done here. The sterilization and scrub room has a laboratory for processing IRAP, PRP and other specialty items. The operating and recovery rooms are now complimented with a new area for minimally invasive surgery which has stocks for standing laparoscopy. Lameness and pre-purchase examinations utilize non-slip paved surfaces and the indoor arena for jogging / longing and riding.

Lameness diagnosis is a specialty at Kleider Veterinary Services.	The clinic's operating theater includes a padded recovery room.	Dental care is vital to a horse's well being.
