Guy Fawkes season is almost upon us! Below are some helpful tips on how to keep your pets safe and reduce stress.

- Keep pets inside, with the curtains closed. Have some gentle music playing in the background.
- Create a safe space for them such as a crate with a blanket over the top, or for cats - a cardboard box lined with blankets.
- Have all their favourite toys, food and water ready to keep them occupied. Puzzles, kongs and licki mats can also be helpful distractions.
- Make sure microchips are registered on the NZCAR and that all of your contact details are up to date in case they run off.

We stock a range of products over the counter that can help reduce stress including Thunder Shirts, Feliway and Adaptal (in collars, deffusers and sprays), Calmex, and food options such as Royal Canin Calm.

For anti-anxiety prescription medications give us a call on 09 426 9535 to discuss.

Just a wee reminder, if you have in lamb ewes to check if they are due to be vaccinated or drenched before they give birth.
Ideally vaccinate and drench within four weeks of their due date so they can pass on passive immunity to their babies.

Golden doodle puppy cuteness x9 🐕😍

Fun fact Saturday!
Did you know that all ginger cats are tabby but not all tabbies are ginger!
Around 25% are female.
Personality wise, they tend to be very chatty, affectionate and are perceived to be 'Velcro' cats who love to be with their owners.
There are many famous orange cats in movies etc such as Shrek's 'Puss n Boots' , Breakfast at Tiffany's 'Orangey' and of course Garfield !
There is no correlation between the stereotype of redheads and having bad tempers or attitudes.
Hamish, who belongs to one of our vet nurses, certainly fits the profile of a ginger kitty 😍

Did you know that we provide free dental checks and dental estimates? We are also running a dental promo for the months of June and July which offers generous savings!

Just like humans, your pet’s teeth are always being bombarded by bacteria, leading to the buildup of plaque and tartar. This can start at a young age in some dogs and cats.

The first time that many pet owners know there is a problem with their pet’s teeth is when they catch a whiff of very smelly breath or, more worryingly, when their pet stops eating. You may think that a bit of smelly breath (halitosis) is okay to put up with, however poor teeth and dental hygiene can result in other much more serious health problems.

You might not realise that your pet has dental problems, especially if you don’t get very close to their mouths. Most animals can be very secretive, even if their mouths are causing them pain. Many pets will not cry out, but simply tolerate it.

If you do see any of the following signs, it may indicate dental discomfort:
Reluctance to eat – especially hard food such as biscuits
Their coats becoming unkempt or matted – they may be reluctant to groom
Wetness around their face, chin and mouth – or even drooling
Some animals even ‘paw’ at their faces/mouth areas
Like any disease, the earlier it is discovered the easier it is to treat, and early intervention can save you money!

Cuteness alert! Tillie's owner thought she had eaten 250g of dark hot chocolate powder (which is far more toxic than eating just chocolate). She demanded tummy rubs whilst waiting for an injection to work to make her vomit.
