💉 Parvo Season Is Here – Keep Your Pets Protected! 🐾

We’re coming into parvo season, and it’s so important to make sure your dogs are up to date with their vaccinations. I’ve already seen a few worrying cases around, and it breaks my heart knowing how preventable this disease is. 💔

Parvovirus spreads easily — especially in warm, damp weather — and it can survive in the environment for months. Even a quick walk in a park or contact with contaminated ground can be enough to infect an unvaccinated dog.

Please take a moment to:
✅ Check your dog’s vaccination record
✅ Book a booster if they’re due
✅ Keep puppies away from public areas until fully vaccinated

A simple vaccine can save their life — and spare you and your family the heartbreak (and cost) of dealing with this awful virus. 💕

Let’s keep our pups happy, healthy, and safe this summer! 🐶🌞

Emma graduated from Massey University in 2005 and joined us in September She works mostly at Tristram Street, but also at the Dinsdale branch. Emma has spent time working in Australia, where she treated exotic diseases like tick paralysis and snake bites. She has also worked at a busy emergency clinic where she developed a special interest in emergency medicine and completed a master's paper in emergency medicine.

Emma enjoys spending time with her family and animals (Jim, Tippy and Lucy), reading good books, trail running, and hiking with friends.

🎆🐾 Keep Your Pets Safe and Calm During Fireworks! 🐾🎆

Fireworks might be fun for us — but they can be terrifying for our furry (and feathered!) friends. With Guy Fawkes Night coming up, here are some tips to help keep your pets safe, calm, and comfortable:

🌙 Before Guy Fawkes Night:
✅ Check ID & microchips: Make sure your pet’s ID tag and microchip details are up to date in case they panic and escape.
✅ Prepare calming aids: Start using calming tools like Adaptil/Feliway diffusers, ThunderShirts, or supplements a few days early so they have time to work.
✅ Secure enclosures: Double-check hutches, cages, and fences are safe and secure — and keep pets far away from any fireworks.
✅ Consult your vet: If your pet struggles badly with noise anxiety, speak to your vet for advice or medication options.

🎇 During the Fireworks:
🏠 Bring pets indoors: Keep cats, dogs, and small pets safely inside to protect them from noise and flashing lights.
🔇 Muffle the noise: Close curtains, windows, and doors, and pop on the TV or radio to help drown out the sound.
🛏️ Create a safe space: Set up a cozy den or crate where your pet can hide and feel secure. (You can use pheromone diffusers or calming wraps if they’re already familiar.)
🐕 Walk dogs early: Take dogs for a good walk before the fireworks start so they can relax later.
🐰 Small pets: Bring hutches indoors if possible, or cover them with a thick blanket to help muffle the bangs.

A little preparation goes a long way to keeping your pets safe and stress-free! 💕🐶🐱🐰

🐾 Planning a Christmas getaway? Don’t forget about your pets’ holiday plans too! 🎄

It’s that time of year again when kennels and catteries start booking out fast, so if you’re heading away, now’s the time to get organised!

Make sure your pets have:
✅ A spot booked at their favourite kennel or cattery
✅ Up-to-date vaccinations (most places need proof before check-in)
✅ Any medications or special diets sorted ahead of time

It’s always a busy season, and we see so many people caught out last-minute — so a quick check now can save a lot of stress later! 💕

Our furry family members deserve a comfy, safe place to stay while we’re away — and a little prep now means everyone can enjoy a worry-free holiday. 🐶🐱✨

Its spring time! 🌳🐦‍⬛

This means we are going to be seeing a lot of baby animals like baby birds!

So what should you do if you find a baby bird?

The best thing you can do is actually leave the bird where you found it 😁

There may be a few different reasons the baby may be out of the nest, check out the picture below for tips on what to do if you come across one. 🐥
