🚨 Toxic algae warning 🚨

Red alert level warnings are in place at Ruamähanga River from Double Bridges to Kokotau, due to the presence of moderate amounts of toxic algae mats on the river's edge.

Greater Wellington Regional Council advises people not to swim or let dogs near the water from Doubles Bridge to Kokotau, including Te Ore Ore and The Cliffs. Dogs should not be allowed to scavenge on riverbanks where algal mats may accumulate.

Even a small amount of toxic algae, the size of a 50-cent piece, can potentially be fatal for your dogs if not make them very ill!

🩺🏥 CLINIC UPDATE 🏥🩺

We have to admit, this year has absolutely flown by! We love updating you all on all things clinic life and well, we’ve been a little slack! So here’s a wee update for you all before we really enter the busy season!

There has been some amazing cases, opportunities for learning and our team have quite simply had a really big year! This all wouldn’t be possible without you all. Your trust, support and loyalty makes a difference.

We know you have a choice, so we thank you for choosing us to be your trusted vet clinic.

• After 10 amazing years, we're evolving to better serve our community. As part of this change, come February Louisa Broughton will be starting her own equine veterinary business.

• The clinic sponsored and attended an amazing event Paerata Abraham and Llyr Jones attempted the 8 hour strong wool lamb record at Whitespurs Station - this was an amazing experience and effort by all involved.

• The clinic has experienced many different species over the last few weeks. From helping moreporks to magpie leg amputation, horses stuck in sewer drains and kittens..lots of kittens oh and a baby piglet got her hernia removed!

• We have worked really hard with our suppliers to create discounts or promotional offers to help our community during the hard season, with our vaccination promotion helping over 147 animals receive a vaccine in the month of November. Massive shout out to the team Zoetis for helping us make this possible.

• We had team members graduate, complete marathons, move over the ditch and as of last Friday we farewelled Kate who was a valuable member of our team for 10 years.

• The team has completed more faecal egg counts than you would believe! These are a crucial factor for our rural communities and our team work super hard smashing these out. Again, not every day is kittens and puppies !

• We have had a great amount of training and education from our supporting business including Southern Cross pet insurance, Royal Canin and Hill’s Pet Nutrition and our friend pip from Dogs101NZ took us through some training on the great use of muzzles for safety! This ensures we can provide you all with up to date knowledge and trusted information.

Keep your eyes pealed for our Christmas / New Years hours! 🤍

Adventurous morning for our team on Friday!

An early morning call about a beautiful wee Rosie who had fallen and was stuck in a septic tank!

Thankfully her owner noticed her in and he had the best neighbours in the world with incredible front end loader skills! The team worked hard to get her out and had a successful removal!

Days like this just prove that no day is the same around here!

Great Job Sara and Louisa and all who was involved.

Congratulations to the Ravenwood team over at Fernglen Farm. What an achievement! 👨🏻‍🌾🚜🐑

🏆 The 2024 Gallagher Animal Management Innovative Farming Award goes to… Fernglen Farm 👏

The Ravenwood family, who own Fernglen Farm, has incorporated a 1300-strong milking ewe herd into their sheep and beef operation and in doing so, have enabled all members of the family to be part of the business.

The judges said the Ravenwood family have combined courage with science and talent to develop a new business and diversify within Fernglen Farm.

They said diversifying into sheep milking, processing and marketing addressed the issues of adding value, succession and financial security to their family farming business.

Congratulations to the Ravenwood family!

The award was presented by Darrell Jones, General Manager for Gallagher.

It is important to understand that feeding your pet the recommended product helps to combat issues relating to coat health, dental health, diabetes, digestive health, joint health, sensitive skin and stomach, urinary tract health, kidney disease, weight management and more.
👁️🧠🫁🫀👂🏻🦷💪🏻

We appreciate that times are currently hard and the cost of these special diets can be a little daunting, but providing your pet with high quality food (veterinary/prescription diets) will make sure they are receiving the right level of nutrients for their age, breed and health issues, which will hopefully reduce longer term medical attention and help them live a healthier life.

🐶🐱: Puppy/kitten diet
In the early months of your pet’s life it’s important they are on the right diet to support their rapid growth and help develop their digestive and immune systems. Their diet needs to be more energy dense than adult food to support their growth, but also have the right balance of calcium and phosphorus to support their bone development. Choosing the right diet at this stage will lay down the foundations for a healthier future.

🪨: Urinary diet
For animals that are prone to certain bladder stones. The use of the appropriate diet can help to dilute the urine and adjust the pH in order to try dissolve the stones or help reduce the formation of them.

🤢: Gastrointestinal diet
Food intolerance and food allergies are quite often associated with diarrhoea, vomiting, poor appetite, excessive gassiness etc. We have a wide range of food that offers support for treating and reducing these symptoms while maintaining a healthy gut digestion.

🫘:Kidney diet
Prescription food is an important part of therapy if your pet has been diagnosed with kidney disease. The diets are normally low in phosphorus and sodium to reduce the workload on the kidneys, but they also contain a moderate amount of high quality protein, omega 3s, essential amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to help promote kidney function.

Come and chat to us if you have any questions or would like any more information on these diets, we are more than happy to help you choose an appropriate diet for your pet!

Plus start a rewards card with us in store - Buy any 10 bags of Royal Canin or Hills food and receive your 11th Free! (Food must be from the same supplier within an 18month period)

🐈‍⬛ Senior Cat Wellness Promo Update!!🐈‍⬛

At the beginning of August we started our senior cat wellness promotion. We have been absolutely blown away with the support on this and it’s really great to see our geriatric patients get the check over they need. We have seen many cats over the last month with owners who have been extremely suprised at the blood test results, clinical findings from the health exam and owners who are envious on how we master a nail clip! 😂 (We definitely think our nurses are smashing this)👩🏻‍⚕️💅💁🏻‍♀️

In the Last month from this package alone we have found or diagnosed:
🐈: 2 Cats with chronic inflammation
🐈: 2 Cats with hyperthyroidism
🐈: 1 Cat with arthritis
🐈: 6 Cats who required urgent dentals
🐈: 4 Cats with no abnormalities
🐈: 1 Cat with FIV
🐈: 1 Cat with Eye disease
🐈: 1 Cat with Chronic Renal Failure

Each one has left with owners stared in the right direction for medication, pain relief and information on how to help our senior cats with some of the issues they face as they get older.

We have 1 more month of this Package deal so make sure you book in and make the most of a half price saving! $135 gets you a full blood panel including glucose testing, a thorough health exam, a nail clip, monthly flea and worm treatment applied and a free dental gift pack!

Also…keep your eyes peeled for next months promotion.. 🐕🐩🐈‍⬛🤫🤫🤫

WOW! How crazy is this thunder we are having!! 🌩️⛈️⚡️

Thunder is a very frightening time for our loved ones so make sure you have them wrapped up in a safe place indoors. A bathroom, bedroom or somewhere they can have the ability to hide if needed.

Keep calm and reassure them - keep talking to them!
Distract them with toys or treats. Music or a TV playing is also really soothing.

Theres a lot of great resources and tips online so research if you need some help!

Be safe and keep them safe ❤️

For emergencies call our on call vet on 06 3782662
