About Equine Veterinary and Dental Services

Equine Veterinary and Dental Services is:

• An equine only veterinary practice which caters for emergencies, afterhours, preventative and elective procedures — such as dentistry, stud work, lamenesses, foot problems, skin disease, eyes, branding.
• Three experienced equine veterinarians on call — with 39 years of combined experience in clinical practice!
• Located on a 13 acre property at Clarenza, via South Grafton.
• One vet lives on site at the practice.
• The leading training centre in Australia for equine vets wanting to learn and master equine dentistry.

The objectives of EVDS are to:

1. Maintain the highest possible standards by focussing on only one species — the horse.
2. Provide first class comprehensive equine veterinary services in the Clarence Valley and surrounding areas.
3. Continue our passion to help to promote and teach equine dentistry to other professionals around Australia and the world - in order to aim for greater welfare in the horse.
4. Continue to service clients outside of Grafton, including Coffs Harbour, Bellingen and north to the border, who seek the services of vets who only treat horses.
5. Conduct more seminars for local horse owners — similar to the reproduction seminar in 1999, the equine dentistry/parasite seminar in 2003, and the two held in 2009.
6. Continue to grow and develop our service as a 1st class equine vet practice — which will help support existing industry and also to attract more equine owners and trainers to the area.

Oliver Liyou B.V.Sc.(Hons) MACVSc: — founder of EVDS

"It is with great relief and pride that we have finally reached our goal in 2010 to be able to offer our clients a serious 'equine only' vet practice — with the luxury of having three experienced horse vets, an office and stables set on thirteen acres, great diagnostic equipment and lab, a comprehensive mobile vet service, and also offering a 24 hour emergency service to our existing clients who have supported us. We've worked hard since 2002 to achieve this dream, utilising a high quality dentistry service to attract responsible horse owners as clients, and hope that we can become a long term part of the horse industry on the North Coast.
