Meredith provides routinely provides dental care for horses across the state of Virginia, as well as horses in West Virginia and Maryland. She works exclusively with veterinarians to ensure your horse is provided with the best care possible. Most horses are sedated so that dental procedures can be done correctly and thoroughly. Sedation is ALWAYS done by the veterinarian. The veterinarian can also determine, in the event that more than routine care is needed, whether to prescribe pain management, antibiotics or other medications.
