A friendly reminder to all our wonderful visitors: Please remember to clean up after your pups when you're outside the clinic. 🐕💩

💲IT’S LIVING WAGE WEEK!💲

Paying a living wage is a commitment to fair pay that reflects the true cost of living and helps our employees to thrive—not just survive.

Did you know that Valley Cottage Vets was the first official Living Wage vet clinic in New Zealand? We’re still one of only two Living Wage vet clinics in the country one year later. 🇳🇿

Being part of the veterinary industry is incredibly rewarding but it can also be pretty punishing, both emotionally and physically. Being undervalued and underpaid for the hard work clinic staff do has gone on for far too long. We’d like to see more clinics join us on the list of official Living Wage employers. 📈

We want to thank all our clients who choose Valley Cottage Vets. Your support allows us to look after our amazing team, who in turn provide exceptional care for the animals we see. 🩷

You can find the full list of employers here:

Every year, fireworks can be terrifying for our furry friends. Sudden bangs and bright flashes cause countless pets stress, anxiety and even injury from unexpected fireworks.

Together we can make a change! By signing the petition below, you’ll be supporting a movement to extinguish the public sale of fireworks - keeping fireworks to organised, regulated events, minimising harm for our furry friends.

🐾💙Happy Vet Nurse Appreciation Week!💙🐾

To our team of amazing nurses - Petra, Caitlin, Amara, Natalie, Chelsea, Ruby, Hollie, and Bex, THANK YOU for everything you do! (Ron Ron loves you guys, even though he doesn't look impressed in the picture!) 😻

Our nurses look after every single patient like one of their own. The amount of care, compassion and love they have for any animal that comes through our door is something you do not see often! 🩺

Historically vet nurses don't often stay very long in their profession, as it takes such a massive toll on their mental health. Not only that, but vet nurses have and still are not paid enough. We are so proud to say we were the first vet clinic in New Zealand to be a registered living wage employer, and are still only one of two clinics who are! We think they deserve this, and hope other clinics will join us! 🙌

🌺 MEET THE TEAM TUESDAYS! 🌺

It’s our pleasure to introduce one of our behind the scenes members, Kerryn!

Kerryn has been with us for a number of years as an animal care attendant. Prior to working with us she had the opportunity to study in Europe for quite some time! In the clinic she makes sure all the behind the scene operations run smoothly, ensuring fresh bowls and bedding for all our furry patients. 🐶🐱

Outside of work she can be found reading some of her favorite books, keeping her garden fresh and beautiful. All with the help of her two adorable fur babies, Griffin and Helix. She also enjoys admiring beautiful works of art. 🖼️ 🪴

🐶 MEET THE TEAM TUESDAYS! 🐶

Today, we’re excited to introduce another one of our nurses, Natalie!

Natalie has been with us part-time for over a year and has recently welcomed her 2nd adorable baby. Natalie assists with a variety of tasks, from administering treatments to providing comforting care for your furry companions. With a kind heart and a gentle touch, she is dedicated to ensuring that every pet receives the best possible care and attention. 🐾🩺

Outside of work, she is a busy mum of her two gorgeous daughters, so the majority of her free time is spent playing with them. She can also be found out walking her two fluffy dogs, Saffron and Scout at the beach. In her spare time she is learning to do embroidery and sewing. 🧵 🏖️

UPDATE: Owner has been found

🐾 FOUND KITTY 🐾

This handsome lad was brought into us over the weekend as he was found wandering around Kaitoke Regional Park.

He does not have a microchip, but he is desexed. We believe he is on the younger side, possibly 2-3 years old.

He is such a sweet boy, so we are sure someone is missing him! ❤️

If you know any information about his family, please call us on 045636826.

🐝 MEET THE TEAM TUESDAYS! 🐝

Say hello to one of our newer nurses, Amara!

Amara recently joined our team at the beginning of this year, after moving all the way up from Dunedin, where she finished her studies. 📓Amara loves working with all types of animals in the clinic, whether it’s assisting with treatments or offering advice on pet health, Amara is here with her caring approach to ensure that every pet feels safe and loved during their visit. 💖🐾

Amara can be found walking her adorable cuddly rescue, Luna. 🐶 When she isn’t walking Luna, she enjoys relaxing at home and playing minecraft. She also enjoys getting creative with arts and crafts, especially hand making bracelets, key chains and bookmarks. 🎊
