Agria Vet Guide aims to provide a very high standard of veterinary advice for every species. This is why only experienced small animal vets provide consultations on small animals and likewise with regards to horses. Therefore, as the demand for horse consultations is relatively low during the upstart of the service, we are not able to provide advice for horses 24 hours a day and this may occasionally result in a longer waiting time. We will continuously monitor the demand and make more consultations available as the demand is increasing. 

This service is completely optional and offered free of charge to customers who feel that they may benefit from the veterinary advice provided. Your policy is not affected by the use of this service.
