Our Services

Because VetEquine specialises in equine health care we are able to offer you and your horse a wide range of medical services.

  • Dentistry - We can provide full speculum examinations with a light sedation for your horses comfort. There is the option of hand floating or power floating corrective and routine procedures. Wolf extractions are provided with a local anaesthetic, again offering your horse the comfort that non veterinary dentists cannot provide. Check out our winter specials for your horse's dentistry.
