We have had a entire male tabby cat (long hair) dropped into the clinic that has unfortunately been hit by a car on Patton Street and has passed away from its injuries. The cat was not microchipped. Please call us if you think this is your cat. We are sorry for your loss.

Last weeks Lameness Day was a success! 🐮

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this fantastic event possible:

• AgriHealth NZ for their invaluable contributions.
• North Canterbury Vet Clinics for Tom’s impressive hoof trimming demonstrations.
• Lauriston School for the incredible lunch.
• Leylands Farm for generously hosting us.
• And of course, to everyone who attended!

We hope you had an enjoyable day and took away some valuable insights to apply on your farm!

Its finally warming up outside ! ☀️☀️☀️

As temperatures rise on warm spring days or during hot summer heatwaves your dog is more at risk of developing heatstroke.

🐕 Only Walk when it is cool and check ground temperature
🐕 Encourage supervised water play
🐕Consider clipping fur on long haired dogs
🐕Provide shade and plenty of water
🐕NEVER leave them in a car
🐕Be extra careful with flat-faced breeds

Enjoy the Sunshine!
