Trips to the clinic can be less stressful for your cat. Recently, little Ramen here needed to come into the Amberley clinic for some testing. With the distraction of something tasty, he didn't even realise the vet was collecting the samples she needed!
We know trips to the vet clinic can be particularly stressful for cats, and we have a number of ways we can make their visits a more positive experience. This can include treats, feliway spray, using gentle/minimal handling and adapting our techniques to suit each individual feline. We can also prescribe a "chill pill" that you can administer at home before their visit to help reduce anxiety for them before they even step through the doors of the clinic. If you want to know more about how we can make your cat's check-ups easier for them, don't hesitate to give us a call to discuss with one of our team 🐈

The story of Greta the lamb - Vet Brooke went to a lambing call and successfully lambed the ewe. Unfortunately mum didn't want the lamb so Brooke adopted the newborn and took her home to see if she would survive. A few days on and Greta is happy and thriving and sleeps inside by the fire. On occasion she comes to the Clinic with Brooke where she receives more TLC and some lamb recall training, which she's excelling at. Go Greta!
Our CA Vet Hannah shared an incredible moment with Sumatran tiger Senja at the Wellington Zoo last week. Senja, along with her companion Bashii are ambassadors for the critically engdanged species. Earlier this year our friends at Boehringer Ingelheim ran a Nexgard Spectra campaign in conjunction with the Zoo and raised an incredible $50,000 for tiger conservation in Sumatra. Thanks to all our clients who contributed by purchasing Nexgard for their cats during the campaign. Through our participation NC Vets was the lucky recipient of the veterinary clinic prize which allowed Hannah to visit the Zoo and Veterinary Hospital.
Things to know about Sumatran tigers:
• They are found in the wild on the Indonesian island of Sumatra
• There are only about 300-400 of them left
• Their webbed paws make them good swimmers
• They are the smallest subspecies of tiger, with weights ranging from 75-140kg

Take a closer look at Caparinia tripilis, a mite that commonly affects hedgehogs but not your beloved cats and dogs. While they may not be a threat to your pets, hedgehogs can spread infections like salmonella, ringworm, mites, and fleas. Keep your pets safe and healthy by staying informed and bringing them in for regular check-ups at our clinic.
Lipomas are pesky fatty masses that can pop up on our furry friends. They tend to grow slowly and are painless, but can be a real annoyance if they get too big or affect movement. Genetics, age, hormonal imbalances, and obesity can all contribute to their development. If you spot a bump on your pet, it's always better to have it checked out just in case. You cannot diagnose a lipoma just by looking at it! Your vet will perform cytology, biopsy or even remove the lump entirely if needed.
So, don't hesitate to contact us if you notice something suspicious about your fur baby. We're here to help keep them happy and healthy!
