Equiconnect Equine Podcast

In this episode, we explore the potential impact of U.S. tariffs on Canadian veterinary goods. While tariffs are often expected to disrupt industries, the veterinary field may be more insulated than anticipated. We discuss how tariffs might (or might not) affect medication prices, service fees, and product availability for horse owners. Additionally, we dive into the challenges of sourcing equine medications in Canada—an issue that goes beyond tariffs. Dr. Mike Pownall sheds light on what equestrians can expect in the coming months.Timestamps:[00:00:00] Introduction to the Episode[00:01:00] Overview of U.S. tariffs and their potential effects on veterinary products[00:02:00] Will tariffs impact the cost of equine medications?
