🦷 Before & after a scale & polish procedure 🦷

✨Daily and weekly oral hygiene is so important for preventing the various stages of dental disease. The oral health of your pet can also have an impact on their overall health as it can be a cause of inflammation and infection.

While brushing your pets teeth is the gold standard for prevention as it is with a child, we know this can be a difficult and sometimes scary task. Some other ways to look after your cats or dogs teeth are:
- Specialty dental diet food
- Dental chews
- Dental chew toys
- Oral wipes, gel and dops

Things to avoid:
- ONLY feeding your pet wet food
- Rotating chew toys as moving parts can break and cause obstructions

Keep an eye on our page for more details about various stages of dental disease and what you/ we can do to prevent it.

🌳🌿 Our annual planting day was a huge success! With this year's efforts, our team has now planted a total of 7,000 trees over the last three years. Beyond earning carbon credits, these trees boost biodiversity, create food and habitats for native birds, improve the water quality of the Ruamahanga river and strengthen our community bonds. We’re already looking forward to next year’s planting day! 🌱✨

🤩 All of this has been made possible with the support of Ruamahanga Restoration Trust - Southern Cross - The New Zealand Veterinary Association - Manawatu & TRC Toyota - Zoetis New Zealand - Greater Wellington - Fortis 🙏🏼

🎀 Introducing Chessie! 🎀
🐴Our newest vet to join the Equine team at SW Vets!

Chessie has had an interesting career so far, working in both NZ and UK in areas of ambulatory equine and lifestyle block work, as well as working with rare breeds of ponies and sporthorses. Chessie is eager to learn more and is pursuing further studies in equine internal medicine. 🐎

🍒The 'cherry on top' is Chessie lives in Wellington, so will be a key part of the equine team servicing the wider Wellington region with ease. 🔑 But don't worry, you will be seeing her around the Wairarapa, so please give her a warm welcome when you do meet her! 🌟

🌱 2024 PLANTING DAY 🌱

On Friday 17 May we held SWVets 3rd annual tree planting day! It was a huge success thanks to so many who helped- 1500 wetland species in and putting their roots down

The area of planting is part of the Ahiaruhe Eco Area Catchment Group who are doing phenomenal work locally and recently being recognised for how active they are in creating positive impact.

Many many thanks to all who gave up their time to come along and plant with us. 🙏

🙏 A special thanks to TRC Toyota for donating $500 worth of trees to the cause and delivering all the trees to our planting area.

🙏 Another special thanks goes to the Ruamahunga Restoration Trust who donated a large portion of the tree cost alongside the Greater Wellington Regional Council. Their support and financial assistance in providing trees for planting continues to help us push forward with our climate change action plan 😊

❄️With temperatures dropping have you noticed your dog slowing? Could they have Osteoarthritis❔❓

🐩What is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a form of arthritis that progressively causes erosion of the joint cartilage, changes to the
underlying bone and low grade joint inflammation.
Osteoarthritis is very common and can affect any age, breed and size of dog, with 40% of all dogs suffering
from this condition.

🩺How do I know if my dog has arthritis?
Arthritis pain can show in subtle ways, like your dog sleeping more,having difficulty going up or down stairs, or generally taking more time. Signs of stiffness after a nap, or not
playing as much, could also be signs your dog is suffering from chronic arthritis pain.

🩹Although Osteoarthritis is incurable the good news is that Arthritis pain can be managed! Dogs don't have to suffer the pain of arthritis -no matter their age.

If you have noticed any symptoms, or have any concerns about your dog, please give our veterinary team a
call on 06 379 6767 to make an appointment or make a booking online @ www.swvets.co.nz

Going to the vet doesn't have to be nerve-wracking for your pet. You can lend us a paw to make their appointments a breeze. Here's how you can help:

🐾 Train your pet - Help your furry friend become more tolerant of vet visits by training them to feel comfortable during handling and examinations.

🎒 Prepare pet supplies - Organize your pet's supplies in advance. Have their vaccination records, medications, and any necessary paperwork ready to go.

🚗 Come prepared - Have your pet in a carrier or on a short leash - this ensures their safety. Bring any relevant information about their health, behavior, or recent changes that could help us provide the most accurate diagnosis.

💩 If we asked for a stool or urine sample, please don't forget to bring them!

By working together, we can create a stress-free experience for your pet and make your appointments smoother and more efficient. ❤️
