Veterinary Assistant

Meg Burns is a veterinary assistant and the glue that holds the Dental Vet team together. She supports the clinical team by keeping them organised and ready to deliver seamless, high-quality veterinary and dental care for every equine patient. With nearly a decade of experience working in the equine industry and a lifelong passion for horses, Meg brings her practical expertise and reassuring pats and cuddles to every appointment. Balancing that experience with a calm, perceptive approach, Meg finds satisfaction in ensuring every procedure runs smoothly and every patient feels at ease.

Before joining the team, Meg spent almost ten years working as a saddle fitter, where she developed an in-depth understanding of equine anatomy and the crucial connection between physical comfort, performance, and overall well-being. Her curiosity about how oral health affects that balance led her to pursue a career in equine dentistry, ultimately landing her a role at Dental Vet.

Meg is passionate about the power of preventative care in maintaining equine dental and overall health. She finds it incredibly rewarding to see the difference that proactive dental maintenance can make to a horse’s comfort, behaviour, and quality of life. She especially loves being a part of a young horse’s first dental visit, admitting she melts at the sight of their tiny baby teeth.

It’s so lovely to see a horse that isn’t at all scared of coming into the vet and that check-ups have become such a positive experience
