Horse Dentist

Checked yearly. One of the barns we board at has the dentist come out to check each horse signed up, if work needs to be done he'll work on those horses.
The other barn for our other horse, had a sign up for the same equine dentist. Now that this horse is at a different barn and uses someone different, I will call the dentist I know.

 

I trailer to the dentist.

 

I have Carter Wilson come to my place once a year for my bunch plus two of my friends haul here as well!!

 

I take my guys to the Vet clinic for the dentist who comes through about every 6-8 weeks..Jeremy Chenowith...appts are set up at the clinic and he only has to set up equip. once..we take our turns having our horses detal work done..work out well for everyone. But he will make farm calls but there is an extra charge for him to come to you...travel time, set up, gas, break down equpiment, etc. SO it is cheaper for us to go to him..

 

Our Vet does teeth so when he comes for Spring Vacs they do the teeth also.

 

I also use Jeremy. But I have to have him come to me.

I have 4 horses and a 2 horse trailer..............it is worth it for me to pay the "house call" fee.

I probably should ask around and see if people want to trailer over and make a day of it, that way we can split the fee and he can knock a bunch out all at onece............I might have to look into that!

 

considering you have to have a vet present this is a smart thing to do Tbitt.
If enough people can make it, then not only the dentists farm call but also the vets farm call fee can be divided up amongst all the participants.

 

Oh, I forgot to post that Jermey does travel with Dr Trigo (sp?) - so ya - we kill all those birds at one stone toss................ >

 

That's what we do, my other client's trailer in. When someone organizes for them, they normally give a slight discount for the person who's farm it is. The bill is much cheaper when they have a ton of horses at one stop, we also make sure to be extremely organized....they always appreciate not having to stand around!

 

Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost up there to get a dentist to work on your horse? Sabella Rush

 

I used Carter Wilson up until last year -- he just got pricey as all get out, does a wonderful job though. I used to go to my vet's for the teeth, but when gas went through the roof that got old really quickly.

 

$85 per horse no matter what he does. I am not allowed to name names!!LOL

 

I use Carter

had Sassy done first with one other horse we hauled to him at Martinsville fairground those two horses were $180 each

the other three I had done here at home and they were $150 he did a total of 9 horses that day!!

hopefully it will be cheaper this year!!

 

MyTeDun,
He is my best kept secret!!! I used to use Chenoweth, but NEVER again will I use them. Way to expensive nd there were other reasons also. My guy just raised his rates last year, from 75 to 85 LOL!! He is great!!

 

I know I was "quaoted" about half of my price for this year we'll see... with having fairly young horses I can only hope they don't need too much work...
