BEVA Launches Healthy Mouth Campaign
BEVA has introduced a new campaign to help horse owners understand the possible problems and risks of diseases in the horse’s mouth, including dental diseases.

The BEVA Equine Healthy Mouth Campaign is the first in a series of planned educational initiatives that belong to the Association’s new Equine Health Project. This project aims to increase awareness of a broad range of important health and welfare issues affecting horses, ponies and donkeys.

Primarily focussed on informing horse owners, The BEVA Equine Healthy Mouth Campaign will also assist BEVA members with the practical delivery of oral and dental veterinary work. It supplements the three CPD courses already available to veterinary surgeons in the BEVA continuing education calendar, as well as the comprehensive dentistry programme included at BEVA Congress this year, to which members of the British Association of Equine Dental Technicians (BAEDT) have been invited.

The BEVA Equine Healthy Mouth Campaign is supported by downloadable educational resources for its members to inform horse owners as well as promotional materials to help vet practices raise awareness of the campaign. The information is available from the BEVA website: www.beva.org.uk
