Another awesome day at Valley Equine Veterinary Centre yesterday. Lovely clients with some challenging dental cases. Looking forward to the next dental day next week.

✨✨ DENTAL DAYS AT VEVC ✨✨

Another great ‘Dental Day’ done and dusted thanks to Mick Field from Equident 🙌🙌

Mick has an excellent reputation as a professional non-veterinary equine dentist and the synergistic relationship between Equident and the VEVC team is a perfect example of our favourite saying - ‘teamwork makes the dream work’ 👌👌

We certainly had a lot of very happy horses and clients yesterday thanks to Mick’s dental expertise and exceptional attention to detail, and due to popular demand we now have several more ‘Dental Day’ dates locked in with many more to be added over the next couple of months.

All bookings have to be made in advance so for more information and/or to get your horses booked or added to the wait list give us a call on 92963884 📞📞

A bit about Mick…

Mick Field is a professional non veterinary equine dentist with international experience and accreditation. He is licensed by the WA Veterinary Surgeons Board to perform category 2 corrective dental procedures and administer sedation with Dr Donna Colvin BSc BVMS (Hons) as his supervising veterinarian.

Mick's Field’s interest in horses began aged 7. He later rode track work in both the UK and Germany and was jump racing until the age of 21 when his weight got the better of him and so he searched for another career.

Dentistry has taken Mick from the UK to Sweden, Ireland, USA, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, New Zealand. He has called WA home since 2007.

Mick has attended numerous equine dental conferences in the USA to obtain qualifications and update on new techniques and equipment. He also regularly works with two current examiners of the International Association of Equine Dentistry.

When he's not attending to horses teeth, you can find Mick at the beach, gym or camping with his two kids.

Does this mouth look like it has had regular dental care?
The answer is NO, but alarmingly it actually has received recent dental treatment.
DON’T be afraid to ask questions.
DO Ask your dentist to show you inside your horse’s mouth before and after treatment and explain what the issues are and how they intend to resolve them.
Know what you are paying for, and know when to get a second opinion.
In this era, with the knowledge and equipment available we should not still be seeing mouths like these.
