HOW IT WORKS

Identifying your equine has the possibility of experiencing a sleep disorder is the first step. Sleep disorders are rarely diagnosed by your veterinarian and can easily be missed. When you schedule a consultation with Dr. Bertone, you will need to provide detailed information about the habits, nutrition and daily activities of your horse. Dr. Bertone’s consultations are an in-depth look at your horses daily and nighttime patterns.

Once you have established a secure account with Dr. Bertone, you will be able to upload files and videos into your secure portal. Dr. Bertone will be contacting you through this portal so all conversations and documentation will be archived for your specific case. These archives can be accessed by both you and Dr. Bertone if followup is necessary or additional consultations are needed.

The cost for an equine sleep disorder consultation starts at $299

The base consultation includes:

  • Evaluating your horses diet and nutrition

  • Evaluating your horses training protocol based on their age, body condition and environment

  • Observing your horses behavior via specific videos to be provided to Dr. Bertone

  • Consulting with your primary veterinarian for peer review of symptoms

  • A full report sent to you and your primary veterinarian with the diagnosis and protocol to

The Process is Important

To get an accurate diagnosis of your horses sleep patterns and disorders, Dr. Bertone will ask questions that you think will be irrelevant, but they are all keys to finding the root of the problem, diagnosing the sleep disorder and providing a healthy path forward for you and your horse.

It’s important that Dr. Bertone works hand in hand with your primary veterinarian so he can have access to your horses history and their observations as a peer.

You will be required to send Dr. Bertone both video and detailed files regarding your horses current and past health, nutrition and exercise routines. The more information you can provide, the more seamless the diagnosis will be.

Dr. Bertone asked a lot of questions before offering a diagnosis. Turns out, it was as simple as changing a lightbulb to a lower wattage. Now my horse is back to his normal self!
