Parvo cases are on the rise which means unvaccinated puppies are at risk of being infected with the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus. 💔💔

Parvovirus (‘parvo’) is a highly contagious, viral disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract of dogs. Symptoms of parvo are often non-specific to start with - lethargy, lack of appetite and fever. This usually progresses to vomiting and bloody diarrhoea. The disease can progress quickly and severe disease often results in death.

Parvo is spread in dog faeces and is extremely resilient in the environment. It can last in the environment for years. Dogs become infected by ingesting contaminated matter (leaves, soil, other dog faeces). If a dog has been sick with parvo on a property before, the property may stay contaminated for years.

If you haven't vaccinated your dog against this disease, please book in with us ASAP!

🐶Meet Baby, the 5 year old American Bulldog that was stolen from her home 3 years ago. 🙁 Baby was recently found dumped in Northland and was able to be reunited with her owner all thanks to her trusty microchip. Baby's owners kept her details up to date on the Companion Animal Register website. 💙

Baby was found in bad condition and has been spending a lot of time at our Papakura clinic getting treatment on a number of issues including mange and a mammary cyst which needs removing. Have a read of the below NZ Herald article and if you would like to donate to help with Baby's treatment, there is a Givealittle link in the article. 💙🐾

It is so important to get your pet microchipped and details kept up to date. This gives your pet the best chance of being reunited with you if something were to happen like Baby.🐾

Comment below your best wishes to Baby 🐶💙🐾

Frankie came to see us at our Pukekohe clinic after her owners noticed she was chewing her paw raw. Upon examination, they found two grass seeds in her fur. With a bit of investigation, Dr. Melissa discovered a large grass seed lodged deep between her toes. Frankie was a star patient, and the seed was safely removed. 💙🐾🐶

This is a reminder that those pesky grass seeds are a hidden danger! These tiny seeds can embed themselves in your pet’s paws, ears, eyes, and fur, leading to pain, infections, or even abscesses. If you think your pet may have a grass seed embedded, don’t wait—bring them in to see one of our vets. 🐾🐾
