The Village Vet Paihia

24/11/2024

Phoenix Animal Wellness are the veterinary practice that I am recommending to my clients on closure of my veterinary practice on the 13th of December, 2024.
This clinic has an excellent reputation with happy clients and skilled veterinarians. It’s a little bit of a drive to Waipapa Road but well worth a few more kms for the service they provide.
Thank you to all of my wonderful and loyal clients over the years. I will miss you all and your gorgeous animals. Hope to see you at Phoenix when I do the odd locum there in the future.
Wishing you all the best.
Much love
Natalie, Lesa, Tabatha and Kimberly.
PS I have tried to contact each client by email or letter prior to this announcement. Please check your spam folder if you haven’t heard from me. Thank you for all the lovely supportive emails I have received back. It’s been a pleasure to work with you and get to know you.

Calling all Bay of Islands cat and kitten owners!

We are partnering with the SPCA for this Snip and Chip running from the 6th of March to the 30th of June.

Please follow the link in the SPCA post below to obtain your $30 voucher to get your cat or kitten desexed and microchipped. This will be available in both the Paihia and Russell clinics subject to availability.

Help spread the word and let anyone who may be interested in this offer know to book their voucher through the SPCA Desexing site below https://book.spcadesexing.nz/

SNIP ‘N’ CHIP COMES TO NORTHLAND! 🙌 We are excited to be launching a new Snip ‘n’ Chip campaign for cat owners in Kaitaia, Kerikeri, Whangārei, and other areas in the Northland region.

From 6 March 2024 we are working with local participating veterinary clinics to offer this service to cat owners who are struggling with the cost of desexing and microchipping. Vouchers help those in need get their cat desexed and microchipped for $30.

PLEASE REMEMBER – a limited number of vouchers are available to help those who require financial assistance. Please, only get a voucher if you need one, and intend to use it. In the past, we have noticed some vouchers were never used, or bookings were made with vet clinics and never attended 💔 When this happens, it prevents someone else from using the voucher who might really need it.

Bookings are now OPEN, so head over to https://book.spcadesexing.nz/ to check if you’re eligible and register for your Snip ‘n’ Chip voucher. If you know someone who needs help with the online system, you can register on their behalf.

Thank you so much to our participating vet clinics, and Whangārei District Council for helping us to make this important campaign possible.

For more information, check out our dedicated desexing website spcadesexing.nz

DENTAL PROMO FEBRUARY
For the month of February, 2024, we are offering a free nurse dental check, a 10% discount on dental procedures, and a free toothpaste sample and fingerbrush. As dentals are charged based on time, these will only be done by vets that have completed the NZVA sponsored dentistry workshop so that we can do these procedures quickly to reduce costs and with minimal trauma to reduce pain and discomfort. Limited spaces so book now to avoid disappointment.

KARAKA BERRIES are highly toxic to dogs and can be found on the floor of our bush areas right now. I spotted many on a walk with my dog at Harrison's reserve this week. Please keep your dogs on a short leash or use a box muzzle when walking in these areas.

UPDATE on RUSSELL CLINICS
We are making good progress with our shop in Traders Mall, York St, Russell! We will officially open Monday to Friday 8.30 am to 4 pm from 8th of January once we have all our staff back from holidays. However, we could run the odd clinic there for vet appointments over the next 2 weeks if needed so please phone 09 4026155 if you would like to make an appointment. Remember that we still have the Paihia practice at 43 te Haumi drive so please ring if you need us before the 8th, as you could be seen in Paihia.
Merry Christmas

Opening in Russell Soon !
Hey Russellites,
Our Russell branch is going to be opening soon and will be located in shop 4 Traders Mall, York St. ie the salon.
We are hoping to open the doors on the 20th of December ie the Wednesday before Christmas.
Tabitha Bird, who is a much loved local in Russell, will be running the shop 8.30 am till 4 pm Monday to Friday but she won’t be starting till the 10 th of January so our hours will be reduced till then ( they will be displayed on the shop window)
Our Paihia nurses, Lesa and Kimberly will assist the vet when working in Russell, but can also offer nurse consultations by themselves ie nail clips, post- operative checks and stitch removal, basic grooming ie shaving cats with knots, booster vaccinations for puppies (not the first one nor annual ones : the vet does those). They can also administer beransa, solensia, cytopoint and synovan injections (arthritis and allergy medications). They are also a fountain of knowledge on nutrition, preventative care, ectoparasite and worming protocols and behaviour issues.
The vet present will either be myself, Natalie, or Bryan, Meg or occasionally another locum but there’s always the option of going to Te Haumi clinic if you want to see a particular vet.
We are winging this a bit so please bear with us as we get this baby off the ground.
You will be able to book appointments by phoning 0272344490 as this is the number we will use for Russell.
We will be doing some surgeries in Russell too but X rays will be only available in Te Haumi.
Thanks for your patience and ongoing loyalty. We appreciate you.
