I highly recommend Dr. Etheridge for all your equine dentistry needs! All branches of medicine, both human and veterinary, are becoming more and more specialized. You wouldn’t ask a podiatrist to fill your cavity, or your dentist to set a broken bone. Even though for many years veterinarians have been qualified to address your horse’s total health, sometimes it’s best to rely on a specialist. Whether for routine maintenance or to address a bitting or performance problem, Dr. Etheridge has the latest equipment and expertise to keep your horse at the top of his game! Courteous, professional, and on time, we have found that he takes the time to do a thorough job, without making too many drastic changes in one sitting. (Such major changes can be dangerous and should be made gradually.)
I trust my horses’ teeth to Dr. Etheridge. Even my horse with an extreme overbite is able to maintain excellent body condition and perform at his best, due to the fact that his teeth are well maintained. My older horses don’t drop feed anymore, and my young horse has stopped tossing and lifting his head in his turns. I couldn’t be more pleased!
