Annual dental examinations by an Equine Veterinarian are as important for your horse as they are for you and me.  While a horse doesn't necessarily need floating yearly, it is important to assess the mouth to catch abnormalities early and prevent future problems.  We are always available to discuss any concerns you have regarding your horse's teeth.

Drs. Barrow can make sure your horse is orally sound for purposes of wellness, but can also let you know if your horse's teeth are the reason he might not be performing his or her best. Comprehensive dental care is one of the services provided in our Wellness Program Packages.
BVS uses the state of the art TeraFloat for routine dental work (see images at right). For the atypical mouth, corrective procedures, or dental injuries we have a variety of specialized hand tools at our disposal.
