Do you need the services of a Jayes Park equine dentist?
Regular dental care is essential for maintaining horses and ponies' overall health, comfort, and performance. Preventive measures are crucial, as some equines may not exhibit signs of discomfort until dental issues become severe.
Ideally, horses should receive dental check-ups every six to 12 months, particularly when they are young. Our equine dentists are skilled in identifying and addressing sharp enamel points that commonly affect horses. Early detection of conformational abnormalities in young horses is also vital to prevent more significant dental problems as they mature, given their softer teeth composition.
To facilitate a thorough examination, we offer light sedation to ensure your horse remains calm. This allows us to inspect the teeth, gums, crowns, and occlusal surfaces efficiently, reducing treatment duration and minimising stress for the horse. Our approach emphasises proactive care to maintain your horse's dental health and well-being over time.
Neglected dental abnormalities can lead to serious issues such as difficulty chewing, weight loss, pain, infections, and even colic. Regular dental examinations enable early intervention, ensuring optimal equine health and preventing potential complications.
Vettings and PPEs in Ockley
The pre-purchase examination - PPE or vetting - is a thorough clinical assessment conducted for prospective buyers to evaluate veterinary factors that could impact the horse's suitability for its intended role. Our veterinarians adhere to standardised protocols established by BEVA and the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.
We perform pre-purchase examinations on various horses and ponies, ranging from family pets to high-performance athletes. Our veterinarians are available to conduct PPEs for both registered and non-registered clients.
PPEs are conducted exclusively for potential buyers to assess veterinary considerations that may affect the horse's suitability for its intended use. Our veterinary team works solely in the buyer's interest, tailoring their evaluation to the specific requirements and intended purpose of the horse.

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.
