Why Equine Care Group is unique?
The veterinary landscape is evolving, with large corporate groups acquiring equine practices worldwide. Consolidation can be rewarding for the patient but we need to respect certain principles. In this changing environment, Equine Care Group (ECG) offers a different path—one that keeps veterinarians in control while fostering collaboration, innovation, and excellence in equine medicine.
At ECG, we believe the best veterinary care comes from those who are truly passionate about the profession. That’s why we are founded and led by veterinarians, ensuring that medical decisions always prioritize the horse’s well-being.
