💩Test more treat less!💩
Did you know drench resistance is becoming more prevalent. It's always a good idea to test before and after drenching. Firstly to see if drenching is required and then after to see if it has worked. We are able to test horses, cattle, sheep, goats and alpaca/llama samples. Multiple samples for a composite test must be delivered to us as individual samples.
Here at the clinic we can give you a result in 10-20 minutes on our Parasight machine, just long enough for you to pop down to the Dunsandel cafe for a coffee.

💩💩The most expensive drench is one that is not needed or doesn't work !💩💩

Edited: Will be desexed before going to new home.
We have been asked to help rehome this wee dog "Hei Hei". He is a Border Collie Huntaway Male Dog born on the 14/2/2024. He is currently on a farm and would make a great farm dog. He is micro chipped, vaccinated and wormed regularly but not desexed. The reason for rehoming is he has too much energy for his young family. Please message the clinic in the first instance.

Dunsandel Family Fun Fest☀️
Last Monday we were lucky enough to be able to invite our customers to the Dunsandel Family Fun Fest with special guest and Multimin ambassador Scott Barrett.
Congratulations to Selene from Protein Producers who won a Virbac Multimin prize pack. Selene had to run a race with Scott Barrett under her arm.
This event would have not been possible without the efforts from both Vetlife Dunsandel and the team at Virbac New Zealand, we were pleased to have been invited along for the ride.

These puppies were booked in one after the other for a vaccination. It just so happens that they were litter mates and the owners had never met.

🐮🐮Calf Disbudding🐮🐮

Did you know that you can debud your calves from 1 week old?

5 reasons to disbud calves early?
1️⃣ Safety - Calves with horns can injure people and other animals.
2️⃣ Cost - The older they are the more drugs needed.
3️⃣ Health - the horn bud is not attached to the skull yet.
4️⃣ Ease of post operative care - Calves should be kept in indoor pens after disbudding to keep the wound dry.
5️⃣ Handling - Calves are easier to handle when young.

Why choose our vet clinic to disbud your calves?
✅Trained technicians do thousands of calves every season.
✅We have well-maintained equipment and are efficient
✅You can leave our team to get on with the job, saving you time.
✅Calves can be fully sedated for ease of handling and recovery.
✅Calves are given local anaesthetic and pain relief to aid in recovery.
✅Our technicians are trained to notice any health issues and can arrange a vet for any follow up problems.


We can also castrate calves and give vaccinations at the same time if required.

☎️Give us a call to ask about our prices and availability.
