Horses have a specific type of teeth that erupt continuously throughout their life.
This, combined with their side to side chewing pattern, can cause sharp, painful points on your horse's teeth.
These points can cause discomfort which can lead to ulcerations, lacerations, and inadequate chewing of their food.

Horse owners will be pleased to know that our clinic can provide the necessary care for their entire menagerie.
Just as dogs and cats require core vaccinations from a young age, so must horses receive certain essential vaccines to protect them against serious illnesses.

Dental care for horses differs significantly from that of humans or even cats and dogs.
Due to their vegetarian diet and manner of eating, a horse's teeth work more like a gristmill, constantly grinding and mashing down their food.
The horse's teeth are therefore designed to keep growing as an adaptation to the manner in which they eat.
Therefore, horses usually need a dental checkup every six months to have their teeth floated (evened out) in order for the horse's bite to remain healthy, and so that their food is evenly ground for healthy swallowing and digestion.
