DENTISTRY SAVINGS!!!
GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR FEED THIS WINTER
With the astronomical cost of hay this winter, make sure you're maximizing you're horses nutrition but ensuring good dental health and parasite control. Why pay $15/bale to see your hay dropped on the ground or left for roundworms to enjoy? This winter, PEV is offering a dentistry and deworming special.
A variety of conditions (head shaking, dropping feed, resenting the bit) may be managed/eliminated with routine dental care.
We offer the latest in equine dental technology with the incorporation of motorized dentistry equipment.
This new technique greatly reduces the time required to perform the procedure and provides the most through and accurate results.
What's New?
Zoetis in conjunction with NZ Equine Veterinary Association, NZ Equine Health Association, and the NZ Equine Research Foundation have published a guideline for vaccination. Many fatal diseases are
