UPDATE #2

The internet outage across parts of Porirua is still affecting our clinic.

We are able to receive phone calls as we have a diversion in place. ☺️ But please continue to be patient with us as we’ll only have one phone line instead of our usual two.

We will have access to our emails but we may be a bit slower to respond. We’ll do our best to continue to respond same day.

We’ll continue to keep you updated as we receive updates ourselves.

Thank you for your patience 💕
Kind regards
Porirua team

Did you know oral disease has become a top health problem for dogs? 🐶🦷

Here are our top tips for preventing dental problems and keeping your canine’s smile in tip-top form:

✅ A nutritious diet
✅ Chew treats can help remove plaque and provide stimulation for the gums.
❌ Watch out for wood – throwing sticks to dogs or letting your dog pick up a piece of wood can result in splinters and gum damage.
❌ Don’t let your pet chew on hard materials like stones or even some types of bones. They can wear down and even break teeth, damage gums, and lead to infection.

Until the end of August, we're offering FREE dental checks with a nurse at our clinics. Bookings are essential, get in quick! 📅✅

UPDATE - We understand there has been an unplanned fibre outsge across Porirua. We are one of at least 6 other companies affected.

We have been advised this may be resolved by this afternoon. We are working to get your calls diverted. So please bear with us a little longer.

If you’re experiencing an emergency with a sick or injured animal and can’t get through to us please call our sister clinic. They can help triage your pet, support you with a consultation or help you get in touch with our staff here in Porirua.

Ugh - That Breath!

Have you ever regretted smooches with your cat or dog? Recoiled at the fish breath? 😵🐟 Many people think it's normal. Well, it's not!

Bad breath in our pets, often called halitosis, is most commonly caused by periodontal disease. This can and should be treated as it will continue to get worse, can lead to other health issues, and most importantly, can be causing your pet pain that you may not be aware of (dental pain can be some of the most uncomfortable, as I'm sure you'll agree).

If you think your pet has bad breath, let's talk about it - we're here to help you help your best bud. 🐶🐱💕

For the rest of August, we're offering FREE dental checks with a nurse at our clinics. Bookings are essential! 📅✅

Let's Talk About Dental Discomfort

Have you experienced dental pain? It's often touted as one of the worst. Just by looking at you, most people wouldn't know anything was wrong. You might still eat fairly normally and carry on with some painkillers until your dentist appointment.

But what about your pet? 🐶🐱 How can you tell if they're experiencing dental pain? They can't just tell us! 🦷😔

Periodontal disease is widespread among pets and can cause serious discomfort, often without us even noticing.

Your pet is there for you when you're in pain, so let's make sure they're not hiding any of their own. Let us help check out those chompers - here's to no more dental pain! 🐾💕

For July and August, we're offering FREE dental checks with a nurse at our clinics. Bookings are essential! 📅✅

Hidden Surprises! 🙀

Thanks to this advanced imaging, we know exactly what needs to be fixed - no more dental pain for this cat! 💕

Don't forget, we are offering FREE dental checks with one of our fantastic nurses for all of July and August. Bookings are essential!
