Equine dentists for optimal dental care in Oxshott or Cobham
At Surrey Hills Equine, we believe that regular, specialist horse dentistry is essential for every horse's routine healthcare. The horse's mouth serves as a crucial channel of communication between horse and rider. Yet, its significance is frequently underestimated, leading many horses to endure oral discomfort without displaying obvious symptoms.
Over the past decade, equine dentistry has undergone significant advancements. Modern practices emphasise a proactive approach, aiming to prevent dental issues rather than simply reacting to them. This involves conducting thorough clinical assessments of the teeth and oral cavity every six to 12 months, enabling the early detection of minor irregularities before they escalate into more significant problems.
By embracing this preventive philosophy, we strive to ensure that each horse receives the comprehensive dental care necessary for their overall well-being and optimal performance.
Thorough horse vettings in Cobham, KT11
Our trusted team of horse vets conducts numerous Pre-Purchase Examinations (PPEs) for clients and insurance vettings on behalf of equine insurance firms. A vetting is a crucial procedure that is recommended before acquiring nearly any horse. Its purpose is to comprehensively assess the animal and identify any factors that might elevate the purchase risk.
We offer two and five-stage vettings, frequently supplemented with X-rays, scans, and scopes to ascertain the horse's suitability for its intended role. Our goal is to collaborate with the buyer to ensure they acquire a horse perfectly suited to their requirements.

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.
