🎙NEW Podcast - A Conversation about Equine Dentistry – Updated❗️
🦷It’s been 5 years since The Podcasting Equine Vets released our original episode on equine dentistry so we thought an updated edition was well overdue. Even in the last 5 years things have progressed, we’ve learned more, developed better techniques and invested in our dental kit and equipment.

💡Whilst we still have some way to go, more and more horse owners are understanding the benefits of using qualified and experienced people to look after their horses and ponies teeth.

🐴In this updated episode Liz Somerville is joined by Jenny Croft MRCVS to discuss dental qualifications, who to use to exam your horse’s teeth, what should be involved in a proper dental exam, the different equipment and techniques and why sedation is so important.

❤ Have you seen our new Four4Free Visit Scheme to help our clients reduce their veterinary costs.
🆓🆓When you book a visit for 4 or more horses there will be no visit fee.

You are welcome to get together with others on your yard to book our Four4Free visit or if you have your horse at home, ask your friends to box up and come to you so you can all benefit.

📞When you book the visit we will need the details of all the owners and horses and what it is you would like the vet to look at so we can block out enough time. Appointments can be used for all non-urgent/routine work and are available Monday-Friday.

📞Call us on 01577 841010 to book.

🪰It might seem a bit early to start talking about sweet itch - but if you have a horse with sweet itch and would like to try the vaccines or find out more about them, then now is the time to organise this so that we can vaccinate before the sweet itch season begins.

ℹThe vaccine course comprises of two injections two weeks apart and must be given before the midges and flies hatch. This is then followed by a booster injection in August.

💡We have had a number of clients that have used the vaccines with success, and we are now looking to order this year's stock so it arrives in plenty of time.

📅New Dental Clinics including a FREE Oroscope📅
🆕We are delighted to have expanded our dental resources and have recently purchased an Oroscope.

🦷The oroscope is a dental endoscope that provides high-quality, magnified live images of the horse's mouth, allowing our vets to examine the oral cavity and the occlusal surface of the teeth.

➡It's a vital piece of equipment for equine vets to identify and treat dental problems, such as:

🦷Tooth fractures
🦷Diastema (gaps between teeth)
🦷Periodontal disease
🦷Infundibular caries
🦷Soft tissue damage
🦷Dentinal defects

The new dental clinics will take place at the practice on a Wednesday, and cost just £80, including sedation and a free oroscope.

This service is open to clients and non clients. Contact our office team to confirm a date and to book your horse in.

🎁Just for fun, we would love to know: What was your best Christmas present?

24/12/2024

💕2024... what a year it has been!
💕It has been an absolute privilege to look after and care for all of our wonderful clients and their horses and ponies over the last year. Whether it was just for a routine vaccine and dental examination or something more serious, being part of their care, keeping them fit and healthy or looking after them when they are unwell is what keeps us coming to work every day.

📅Next year is already shaping up to be an exciting one. We've got lots of talks planned, have some new pieces of equipment to share with you all (see below) but perhaps the most exciting bit of news is that LLEP will be 20 years old!🥳🥳

🛻We've come a long way since the beginning with Hugh and Liz working out of their cottage and pick up truck, and we feel incredibly lucky to still be here surrounded by an amazing team of people and our wonderful clients. Still independent and long may it continue!💕

🎅🎅Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas and New Year and we'll see you all in 2025.. unless of course you need us over the festive period!

Hugh and Liz x
