Horses enrolled before age 20, and up to age 24, are eligible to participate in PreventiCare–the unique, veterinarian-administrated equine wellness program offered by Pfizer Animal Health.


Horses between the ages of five months (and fully weaned from their mothers) and 20 years are eligible to enroll in the program. Those that are officially enrolled before age 20 may now re-enroll each year until age 24.


The extension of this program demonstrates Pfizer Animal Health’s commitment to equine wellness. If a horse on PreventiCare should need colic surgery, Pfizer Animal Health will reimburse the operating surgeon for the surgical costs and three days of aftercare-up to $5,000, as part of PreventiCare’s Colic Assistance Plan.


Since the launch of PreventiCare in March of 1997, over 230 horses have been able to receive life-saving colic surgeries thanks to PreventiCare’s Colic Assistance Plan. “We began the PreventiCare program because we have confidence in the value of a veterinarian-assisted equine wellness program,” said Dan Kramer, Pfizer’s Equine Product Manager
