Is your horses dental care up to date?
The phrase ‘no foot, no horse' also rings true in the case of teeth. Without teeth a horse cannot chew fibre, the staple part of their diet.
Did you know that all of our equine team are equipped with specialist dental equipment to be able to examine your horse's mouth and provide routine dental care on-yard. We also have powerfloating equipment for those patients with major dental abnormalities such as big spikes at the back of the mouth or those that require advanced treatment.
If you choose not to use your vet for your horse's dental work, please ensure that the person performing the work is a qualified Equine Dental Technician. You may be surprised to hear that by law you do not need ANY qualification to rasp teeth. A full list of current EDTs can be found on the website for the British Association of Equine Dental Technicians (www.baedt.com/?c=5357).
