Top dental care for horses in Milford, Cranleigh, or Witley
Equine dentistry is a vital aspect of routine healthcare, aiding our clients in maintaining healthy horses. This holds particular significance for older horses, supporting their well-being throughout their senior years. Additionally, routine dental care is crucial for equine athletes to ensure dental issues do not hinder their performance.
Surrey Hills Equine provides equine dental services to our clients, catering to everything from routine dental maintenance to complex issues. For routine dentistry needs, we offer on-site services at your yard.
During these sessions, we perform a meticulous oral examination under sedation. Our approach prioritises both care and safety. Sedation is administered for all dental procedures to ensure a thorough assessment of all aspects of the mouth and teeth while also providing a more relaxed and safer environment for our clients, patients, and veterinarians. Throughout the process, your horse's head is supported comfortably, aiming to minimise stress for all parties involved.
Five-stage pre-purchase examinations in Milford, Chiddingfold, or Ewhurst
Our veterinarians boast extensive experience conducting thorough five-stage pre-purchase examinations (PPEs). The PPE, commonly known as vetting, involves a recognised examination in two or five stages, with the latter providing a more comprehensive assessment.
This evaluation helps inform your decision to purchase or not and serves as an indication, not a guarantee, of the horse's suitability for your intended use.
The five-stage vetting involves:
Stage 1 – Preliminary Examination: Includes a thorough physical assessment, behaviour observation, passport verification, microchip scanning, eye examination, auscultation of heart and lungs, dental check, and palpation for abnormalities.
Stage 2 – Walk and Trotting Up In-Hand: Observing the horse walking and trotting in hand and lunging on hard and soft surfaces, if feasible.
Stage 3 – Exercise Phase: Assessing the horse under ridden exercise, including walk, trot, canter, and gallop, to detect lameness and cardiovascular or respiratory abnormalities.
Stage 4 – Rest and Re-examination: Observing the horse during recovery to reassess cardiovascular and respiratory parameters.
Stage 5 – Second Trot Up: Repeating the trot up to evaluate any changes in soundness post-exercise.
Five-stage PPEs are recommended for all riding horses. Drug screen blood sampling is advised, and additional procedures like X-rays, ultrasonography, and endoscopy may be included based on horse value, insurance requirements, or specific concerns.

Other Equine Services in Surrey
Our horse vets can provide a complete range of services, including:
Lameness and poor performance
Lameness issues can inflict pain on your horse and cause concern and disruption for you as an owner. Our goal is to identify the cause of the problem and recommend suitable treatment to get your horse back to normal as quickly as possible.
The lameness investigation may involve various procedures, including the examination of your horse's conformation, movement, stride, and limb placement, flexion tests, palpation of the limbs and muscles, examination at walk and trot in hand and on the lunge, ridden examination, nerve or joint blocks, and X-ray or ultrasound.
Gastroscopy
Equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) is increasingly acknowledged as a common culprit behind various clinical signs, including poor performance, behavioural changes, reduced appetite, lacklustre coat condition, and discomfort during girthing.
All horses face the risk of developing ulcers, with contributing factors such as a high-carbohydrate diet, intense training or competition schedules, and stressors like illness or changes in routine, such as box rest.
Using a gastroscope, we can visually inspect the horse's esophagus, stomach and proximal duodenum to confirm the presence of ulcers. Since ulcer treatment can be costly, a thorough stomach examination through gastroscopy is recommended before initiating any treatment.
Mobile diagnostic imaging
Surrey Hills Equine employs cutting-edge portable wireless diagnostic imaging tools, including Digital X-ray systems, Ultrasound Scanners, and Video Endoscopy, delivered directly to clients' premises. This innovative approach allows us to provide the convenience of on-site examinations, eliminating the need to transport horses.
Our horse vets may recommend additional diagnostic imaging, whether it is for lameness investigations, pre-purchase examinations (vetting), dental or head-related concerns, or assessments of upper airways for respiratory conditions or Strangles cases.
Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a valuable tool for assessing the respiratory tract, especially in horses facing respiratory issues or exhibiting poor performance.
The procedure involves passing a flexible camera, known as an endoscope, through your horse's nostril, pharynx, larynx, and down the trachea, with the option to examine the guttural pouches.
