Equine Veterinary Dental Services (EVDS) are absolute experts at Equine Dentistry – both performing it every day and teaching other vets how to perform it! Dr Oliver Liyou started doing dental work on horses over 35 years ago, and his curiosity on how to do it more effectively and efficiently has never waned!
One of Dr Liyou’s passions is to inspire and serve the veterinary profession on a worldwide basis to embrace equine dentistry. Another passion is encouraging the equine industry to embrace a “Win-Win” relationship between horses, owners and veterinarians. Each party’s short and long-term welfare can benefit from the commitment of the other 2 parties to be part of the relationship.
“The ultimate goal of EVDS is to see every horse in Australia’s mouth maintained on an ongoing basis, by well trained, qualified and passionate Equine Dental Vets”
EVDS is different from their competitors for so many reasons, including:
a. They are fully Australian owned, and not owned by a multinational company,
b. They actually perform equine dentistry on a daily basis in their veterinary practice to serve the equine industry of the NSW North Coast,
c. They continually seek to improve their knowledge and techniques from world experts in equine dentistry,
d. They pass on that knowledge and experience to teach other veterinarians,
e. They offer equipment sales and service to those veterinarians,
f. They do not sell to non-vets and do not support the training of non-vets in equine dentistry,
g. They bring world experts in Equine Dentistry to Australia to teach Australasian veterinarians,
h. In 2018, they led the fight to dismiss the push by non-vets to set up a Diploma in Equine Dentistry at TAFE colleges around Australia, where they would be taught to perform acts of Veterinary Science.
EVDS can make your life easier by offering world-class training, equipment sales and service in Australia, avoiding the need for vets to travel to the USA or Europe, or to send their equipment overseas for service and repairs.
They also offer their loyal clientele technical support on equipment and clinical cases.
With an in-house technician for service and repairs on the equipment they sell, veterinarians have minimal downtime when they need equipment to be sent in.
