From 11th June 2024, the equine branch of our practice is merging with Wendover Heights Equine and rebranding the practice name to Wendover Park Equine.

🌟 Welcome to Wendover Park Equine Vets 🌟

A dedicated equine-only practice opened in 2024 to care for the horses, ponies and donkeys of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas. We offer comprehensive first opinion equine veterinary services on the road backed up with a fully equipped clinic providing inpatient care, diagnostic and operating facilities.

The name may be new but Wendover Park Equine is built on the partnership between two long established practices – Wendover Heights Equine at Halton, founded in 1965, and Park Vets in Watford which boasts over a hundred and twenty years of history. The combined team of caring and professional equine vets, nurses and support staff have a wide range of experience and skills to give the best of care to you and your horses.
We work from both sites with Clinical Director Ben Wakeling and Senior Vet Charlotte Giles leading the team of five further vets, three registered veterinary nurses and an equine technician.
Equine Co-ordinators Michelle and Natasha will still be the friendly and efficient first points of contact when you need us while Practice Manager, Georgina Nixon RVN, will ensure the smooth running of the practice.

🌟You can find out more about the team, facilities and services provided on our new website - www.wendoverparkequinevets.co.uk. Existing Wendover Heights and Park Equine clients should have received a service letter informing them of these changes. If you have not yet seen this, please view the link attached www.parkveterinary.co.uk/equine-practice-merge-rebrand
If you have any questions about the merge please feel free to contact our office and we will be very happy to help.🌟

Horses’ teeth act as a single grinding unit. They should be tightly grouped together and come into direct contact with the opposite teeth in the mouth. If there are any extras or missing

any, then some teeth may not have an opposing teeth to grind against. This can lead to dental overgrowths, fractures or the teeth may come out of alignment. For more information on your horse’s dental health, why not speak to a member of our team on 01923 229 300?

Sometimes, horse’s baby teeth can become stuck above the adult teeth below as they start coming though, so occasionally, these will need taking out. It’s best to start dental checks when your horse is young to get them used to the instruments and what to expect, rather than wait until there is an issue and your horse’s mouth is already sore. Give us a call to book them in for a dental exam on 01923 229 300
