ZOETIS announced that results from the latest National Equine Health Survey (NEHS) show that dental disease is a significant problem for horses in the UK. Of the horses included in the survey 5.4% were suffering from trouble with their teeth and dental disease was the sixth most frequently recorded individual disease syndrome in the survey.

The results suggest horses in the UK commonly have dental abnormalities and reiterate the importance of raising awareness of equine dental disease.
