Sustainability at North West Equine Vets

At North West Equine Vets, we’re committed to providing top-quality care for your horses while also minimising our environmental impact. As a practice, we recognize the importance of sustainability in equine veterinary medicine and are continually working to reduce our carbon footprint.

What We’re Doing to Help:

Reducing Waste – We’re actively working to cut down on single-use plastics and responsibly dispose of medical waste. We encourage clients to return unused medications to us for safe disposal.
Eco-Friendly Products – Where possible, we use biodegradable or recyclable materials and seek sustainable alternatives for everyday veterinary supplies.
Optimising Travel – Our vets cover a large area across the North West, so we carefully plan visits (where possible!) to reduce fuel consumption and emissions while still providing prompt, efficient service.
Responsible Medicine Use – We follow strict guidelines to prevent overuse of antibiotics and anthelmintics. We also ensure medicines are disposed of safely to protect both horse health and the environment.
Energy & Resource Conservation – We’re taking simple steps to reduce water waste, improve energy efficiency when using equipment, and make our practice more environmentally friendly.

How You Can Help:

Return unused medications to us for proper disposal.
Book routine appointments in advance to help us plan efficient travel routes.
Reduce waste on your yard by recycling and disposing of medical products responsibly.

By working together, we can ensure equine veterinary care remains both effective and environmentally responsible.

Small steps to protect the future of our horses and our planet.
