Clive Cottage Vet Clinic had a blast at the Mitre 10 Mega Walk! The sun was shining, the vibe was buzzing, and the dogs were ready to strut their stuff! Fynn, Nina the Husky, Charlie, Teddy, and Nina the Foxy led the pack, wagging tails and spreading smiles all along the route. Every year, this awesome event raises funds for the Acorn Project, supporting young people and families living with cancer right here in Hawke’s Bay. Thanks to everyone who walked, wagged, and volunteered for such a fantastic cause! 🐾💙”

“How is everyone doing? With fireworks in full swing, we’d love to hear how you keep your furry friends safe and happy during this time

Here are a few of our own tips:

• Keep them inside – Keep pets indoors and away from doors and windows.
• Provide a safe space – Create a quiet, cozy spot with bedding and toys to keep them calm.
• Reduce noise and lights – Close curtains and play some music or TV to help mask the sounds.
• Microchip your pet – In case they get spooked, a microchip helps ensure they can be safely returned.
• Never use fireworks around pets – They can be dangerous for our pets and contain hazardous materials.

We’d love to hear your tips and tricks, too! Let’s all work together to keep our pets happy and secure. ❤️🐾”

🌱 Grass Seed Alert 🌱

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that grass seed season is upon us. While out on a walk yesterday at Te Mata Peak, I noticed the fresh new grass seeds starting to sprout. These tiny seeds can cause big problems for our pets – working their way into paws, ears, and fur, leading to painful infections and vet visits.

What can we do to keep our pets safe?

🐾 Brush your pets: After each walk, take a few minutes to brush them thoroughly, especially in areas like paws, underarms, and ears where seeds like to hide.
👀 Do a check-over: Look over your pet’s body after every walk to spot any seeds before they become an issue.
✂️ Regular grooming & trimming: Regularly groom your pet and consider trimming longer fur, especially around their paws and belly.
🚫 Avoid long grass: Try to steer clear of areas with tall grass where seeds are more likely to be present.

Stay safe out there and enjoy your walks! Let’s keep our pets happy and out of the vet clinic this season.

Big shoutout to Lynne Anderson, Marilyn Scott, and all the amazing volunteers who work tirelessly to protect the dotterels in Hawke’s Bay!

My son Jake has had the privilege of following Lynne over the past couple of months as she patrols the Awatoto, Westshore, and Bayview areas. Lynne is incredibly dedicated, going above and beyond to safeguard these precious birds by cordoning off nests, monitoring and recording their locations, and so much more. Equally dedicated is Marilyn Scott, who patrols the Waitangi and Clive areas with the same level of care and commitment.

Last week, we were lucky to have Luke from the Max Planck Institute in Germany and Katie from DOC in Christchurch join us! Katie, who completed her master’s on Banded Dotterels in the McKenzie Basin, was contracted for the dotterel study with Luke. They spent about two weeks in the South Island before coming here and then headed to the volcanic plateau near Waiouru to continue their work. Luke and Katie came out to band/tag the Banded Dotterels/Pohowera, place small trackers on the adults (Not all Dotterel’s), and check their health. This vital information helps us learn more about the movements and well-being of this endangered species.

Help us protect the dotterels! Every little bit of awareness and support makes a difference. Here’s how you can help:

• Keep your cat inside at night.
• Walk below the high tide line on beaches, and keep dogs on a lead.
• Avoid fires/fireworks and vehicles on beaches.

Thank you to everyone who plays a part in protecting these precious birds!

This One Health Day, we urge you to consider the impact have on people, animals and the environment.

🔥 Since 2019, Fire and Emergency NZ has seen 676 fires caused by fireworks, 513 of which were vegetation fires.

🧓🏼 Fireworks can be a source of anxiety for many people, especially those with PTSD, autism or other conditions that cause sensitivity to light and sound.

🐎 Every year, vets are called to see horses that have been badly injured from fireworks-related stress. Horses often panic from the loud noises and try to run through fences, or onto roads (endangering themselves and motorists).

🐕 Cats and dogs often get anxious and try to flee when fireworks are going off. As a result, many pets are injured or go missing each year.

🐄 Large animals suffer from fear and stress related to fireworks.

🕊️ Fireworks can have a huge impact on surrounding wildlife, who can't retreat indoors when they're scared.

🐈 Around Guy Fawkes Night, vets often see cats that have developed stress cystitis because of the noise.

🐕 After a long day, there’s nothing better than a cuddle with some adorable, well-socialised Dachshund puppies. Our amazing vet nurses beside me, Amy and Laura, couldn’t resist the chance to share some love with these little ones. It’s the small moments that make all the hard work worthwhile ❤️

❤️ Lucian, the lovable Labrador cross, came by to visit our Vet Alistair today for a sore ear. Despite his discomfort, he was still his usual friendly self, saying hi to everyone with tail wags and happy energy. Here’s hoping his ear feels better soon—he’s such a trooper!

🐾 Member of the public found injured cat 🐾

A female, medium hair, tabby cat, likely mid to older in age, was found near the Pakowhai roundabout. She has a distinctive shorter Manx tail, and seems like she may be missing her home. Unfortunately no microchip. If anybody is missing their cat with this description please contact Clive Cottage Vet Clinic on Monday or send us a private message. 🧡 ❤️ 🧡
