Company Description
We are a referral veterinary dental practice, relocated to a purpose built, state of the art, practice in Harrogate. The practice features the latest high-tech equipment (including our own CT scanner) housed in an easy to clean, hygienic environment.
Established in 1988, we see cases (mainly dogs and cats) referred to us from other veterinary surgeons. Pets come from as far afield as London, Kent, Dublin, Cheshire, the Channel Islands and Scotland - but most of our cases are from the North of England. Our aim is to provide excellence in care - for or patients, for our clients and for the referring veterinary surgeons. Cases referred to VetDentist are seen by Bob Partridge (a recognised expert in Veterinary Dentistry) or by his Residents. Together they have a wealth of experience in the field. Cases include fractured teeth, root canal treatment, oral tumour and trauma surgery.
