General Info

The intake process is built around rhythm. Pets get the chance to watch from room corners and lobby areas. Appointed sessions start with environmental setup, involving light positioning and voice tuning. Physical exams follow a specific order where joints are checked before the mouth, and fur is inspected before touching the belly. Caregivers are asked to note the actions during the early morning hours together with any changes in resting breath and food interest. Santa Barbara Equine Practice Karen Blumenshine uses health mapping to develop strategies for diagnostics, injury recuperation, vaccine schedules stress, geriatric mobility, and customized pain tracing. The implementation of treatment delivery changes when pets have looping and freezing behavior, along with gaze avoidance.

Families observe the pet over the decompression period and receive guidance on the next steps after their consultation appointment. Some animals thrive through direct interaction, such as being walked and spoken to gently, while others need to be left alone in a warm place or repetitively petted. The clinical procedure in Karen’s practice entails considering caregiver education on the effect of caring for the animals as a part of the clinical process rather than a follow-up consideration.

I have had Karen Blumenshine as my equine vet for 30 years, in fact right out of vet school in San Diego California. She is a wonderful compassionate knowledgeable vet, not only for horses but wildlife animals as well. When I moved to Santa Barbara, Ca and found out that Karen Blumenshine was here as well I immediately contacted her to be my vet. Some facts that you might not be aware of, she was the vet for the Olympic three day trials and was most trusted to escort "I'll Have Another" to Japan where he is living out his life breeding. What isn't there to like and trust in Karen Blumenshine. Read Less

Karen Blumenshine has been my equine vet for over 24 years. She cared for the first horse I owned as an adult and all the horses I have owned and loved since. She has been there for us from acquisition (pre purchase exams) through well-care (love her prepaid wellness plans), injuries, illnesses and when the time comes she is kind and caring at the end of life. I feel very fortunate that my horses have had her as their vet all these years. Read Less
