Tierärztliche Praxis für Pferde Dr. Sebastian Lutz

On June 16, 2021, we had to let our old girl, Paloma, pass away with a heavy heart at almost 31 years old. We extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Rapp, who was there quickly and cared for our horse with competence, calmness, and sensitivity. A wonderful veterinarian. We wish her all the best for the future and thank you again!

Thank you for the past years, during which my horse has always received excellent care! From vaccinations and dental work to the past pasture accident that unfortunately required stitches, everything was always to my complete satisfaction. Special thanks to Dr. Meidl for his patience; he always answered all my questions and personally handled everything during my two pregnancies, always with such calm and care that Rufus felt as comfortable as possible. THANK YOU

Due to an acute emergency, I called this clinic/practice to our stable for a lameness examination of a very old horse. I should mention beforehand that this clinic/practice is the only one in the area that has a fully battery-powered X-ray machine and dental equipment, eliminating the need for a power outlet. I had previously inquired about this at other clinics closer to my horse by phone, as I wanted to have the X-ray option covered during the first visit to avoid a second trip for myself and the horse. As a new client, immediate payment (card or cash) was required. I was informed of this over the phone. The estimated price according to the new German Veterinary Fee Schedule (GOT) was also provided to me proactively over the phone, which I appreciated. I'd rather not comment on my opinion of the new GOT regarding travel costs and house call fees, but suffice it to say, for that price, I could personally transport a horse that was fit for transport to the clinic ten times over. The vet and trainee who came to our stable were very friendly. The vet seemed highly competent and experienced, and despite the challenging lighting conditions, she was able to diagnose and treat my horse's problem relatively quickly. My horse is doing well again today. I found the fees charged to be fair, even according to the new German Veterinary Fee Schedule (GOT). Good work should be compensated accordingly. In conclusion: I would use their services again anytime, both professionally and personally, if absolutely necessary. However, due to the travel costs, I would prefer to drive any horse that is able to be transported directly to the clinic myself and save the money or invest it in the treatment.

My absolute favorite: high level of expertise, prompt response, a strong sense of service, and a very friendly approach. In acute situations, they act quickly and professionally, and if necessary, a complicated dental procedure can be performed in a familiar environment upon request. The Schwan practice has cared for my mare for the past six years, right up until the very end. A special thank you to Mr. Lutz, who, after 20 years of togetherness, freed my horse from her acute suffering in an incredibly dignified, respectful, and calm manner. I wish the entire practice continued success. THANK YOU!

My veterinarian of choice for years. Competent, friendly, and approachable. I feel that my horse and I are in very good hands and can recommend the practice without reservation.
