Las Vegas Equine Vet Shortage: A Horse Health Crisis
Update: 2025-09-15
Description
Las Vegas horse owners are feeling the squeeze as a nationwide shortage of equine vets leads to longer waits and tougher competition for essential animal care. Fewer vet students are specializing in horses, opting instead for small animal practices with better pay and hours. This shortage is impacting everything from horse sports to ranch work, with owners driving long distances and facing stressful emergencies. Veterinary schools and equine organizations are launching outreach programs and incentives to attract more students to equine medicine, while the Las Vegas equine community is banding together to keep their horses healthy during this challenging time.
