Testimonials
Thank you so much for your patience with him Steve Welsh. Hopefully he will be better behaved when you next see him.
Cruise feeling very chilled today as always in the very experienced hands of Equine Dentist Steve Welsh. It’s always a great pleasure to see our horses looking so relaxed whilst having there teeth done. I’ve used Steve for around 12 years now & I can highly recommend him. 5*****
