ROUTINE DENTAL CARE

Routine dental care is very important to your horse's health. Periodic examinations and regular maintenance, such as floating, are especially necessary today for a number of reasons:

  • We have modified the horse's diet and eating patterns through domestication and confinement.
  • We demand more from our performance horses, beginning at a younger age, than ever before.
  • We often select breeding animals without regard to dental considerations.

Proper dental care has its rewards. Your horse will be more comfortable, will utilize feed more efficiently, may perform better, and may live longer. It is recommended to have your horse’s teeth checked and floated at least once a year starting as a two year old. We perform our dental examinations and work with the most up to date advanced dental equipment.
