Hello everyone!

As those who follow our facebook would well know, Dr David is currently overseas, finally going on his Churchill Fellowship Tour in Equine Dentistry. He has gone to America and Europe, to study under the top equine veterinarian dentists in the world! Dr Dave will be bringing back the latest philosophies and practices, enriching our dental service, and also the knowledge of other veterinarian dentists he tutors.

Thelwells feature in this month's colour-in, if you haven't come across these horsey cartoons yet, we 100% recommend them, they really are a hoot!

Download and see why we love them here.

Warm regards, 

— Dr David, Dr Kylie, Kelly, 

Carol, Liz & Emily from the VEVS team!
