Equitom provides comprehensive veterinary care for all types of horses, welcoming patients from across Europe. We offer a wide range of dedicated services within the clinic. Our multi-disciplinary team works closely together across departments: including surgery, orthopedics, medical imaging, and internal medicine. This is to ensure each patient receives integrated, high-quality care tailored to its specific needs.
Hospitalization & Communication
During hospitalization, we provide consistent, structured updates so you are always fully informed about your horse’s condition and progress. Our team monitors your horse continuously, and we communicate proactively each day. Medical findings, treatment plans, and upcoming decisions are discussed with you in advance, never as an afterthought, so you remain closely involved in every step of the process. Thanks to our dedicated German-speaking support, communication is clear, personal, and reassuring. We make sure you understand the medical status, the evolution of the case, the next planned steps, and your horse’s overall well-being.
Even if you are hundreds of kilometers away, we strive to make it feel as though your horse is right next door.
Trust & Experience
Equitom is an international referral clinic trusted by horse owners and veterinarians across Europe for everything from routine care to the most complex medical and surgical cases. Our clinic manages a high volume of international patients each year and works closely with referring veterinarians to ensure continuity of care. International treatment can provide direct access to specialized diagnostics and surgical expertise, often with shorter waiting times than expected.
The medical decisions taken by the team of experts at Equitom are taken with evidence-backed veterinary medicine, supported by advanced diagnostic capabilities and modern surgical infrastructure. Each case is approached with a clearly defined diagnostic and treatment strategy, adapted to the individual medical needs of the horse. Beyond the initial intervention, Equitom places strong emphasis on structured long-term follow-up.
Treatment outcomes, recovery progress and next steps are documented and communicated, ensuring clarity for owners and referring veterinarians alike. This commitment continues even after the horse has left the clinic, with our team remaining available to monitor progress and support the ongoing recovery.

Many German regions are within a short and manageable transport distance of Equitom. For many owners, cross-border veterinary care is therefore more accessible than initially expected.
For example, Equitom is approximately 150 km from Köln, 120 km from Aachen, and around 200 km from Düsseldorf. This makes our clinic an accessible option for both routine visits and more specialised care.
Our team is happy to support you throughout planning and coordination of the care traject of your horse, including transport preparations, scheduling and practical logistics, to ensure a smooth and predictable process.
