Sadly not had to lay my mare to rest yesterday. Tina and my other horses, have been under the care of Dr. Paul Duff for over 5 years. Columbia Equine Vets have cared for our horses for over 25 years. Every vet from Columbia has been excellent. However, Dr Duff has been extraordinary. He is knowledgeable, communicative, gentle, compassionate, talented and has such a rapport with horses. He made my worse day better by reassuring me that we were doing the right thing at the right time. As my mare dropped down, her head was in Paul’s lap. He stroked her and talked calmly to her until her last breath. I love that man! Thank you Dr. Paul

Columbia Equine came to our rescue today when our horse got away and ripped her tongue almost in half with her bit. They were out within 45 minutes. They got multiple opinions and gave us sound options and advice. Once we decided to go ahead with the surgery we were able to bring her in immediately and they got right to work. Very nice, clean place and great staff. Thank you Columbia Equine!

I was very pleased with my lameness examine for my mare. Dr Danielle Price was so thorough and explained the findings on the X-rays. Will definitely go to Columbia Equine Again

Leaving our farm and long time Equine Veterinarian behind in Seattle, we were pleased to find another skilled and knowledgeable Equine Veterinarian, one we could put our confidence in. This confidence proved vital when our Tennessee Walker named Possum, was injured from a freak whirl wind ripping her entire 3500 lb Modular Shelter System up off the ground landing upside down. The Alpacas were OK, but Possum had to be rushed to the Hospital where Greg Schmid, DVM calmly assessed her. He was able to verify nothing was broken & her eye was most likely going to be OK with care and stitches. Possum stayed at the hospital for a week while I found a temporary stable to keep her for a few months while ours was being rebuilt, she received tender support and observation by the entire team. Greg Schmid, DVM later came out to Possum's temporary boarding facilities to reassess her eye, bone bruises and gait. During his assessment, as I led her, she slipped and fell. He instructed to not ride at all for at least a few months and also to change her natural Barefoot Hoof Trim to a higher back heel to see if that would help with her slipping in the back- it did! Possum has a long under stride and her heels were too short. She is back home and doing very well, it's been a year now and she's running around in the pasture with her boys as though nothing happened. Thank God and the team, she is still with us and did not lose her life or sight in the event. Vicki Maher

I think highly of Columbia and its Vets and staff. They gelded my horse and took excellent care of him he’s fine he’s eating drinking and looking normal on stall rest I just got him back an hour ago. He looks like he just got back from Disneyland, but was happy to be home.😎👍🏽👍🏽🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
