Kāpiti Coast District Council staff rescued a caged puppy and moved horses and sheep out of the way of floodwaters this week and say it’s a timely reminder for people to plan ahead for care of their animals when big weather events are forecast.

Neighbours alerted the council call centre to the plight of the puppy, which had been left outside in a cage while the owner was not at home.

Emergency operations duty controller James Jefferson said when council animal management staff arrived, they found the puppy still in the cage, perching on the base which was floating on water overflowing from the Waikanae River. Staff had to wade through fast flowing knee-deep water to rescue the pup, which was at real risk of drowning in the cage, he said.

A staff member took it home where his partner dried, warmed and fed it before it was eventually returned to its worried owner.

The council’s animal management staff were also called out to move horses and sheep in flooded paddocks.

Mr Jefferson said staff were pleased at the happy outcome for these animals but said it was a good reminder to people to think about what heavy rain forecasts could mean for their pets and livestock.

“We’d like to think that people are keeping an eye on the weather forecasts, especially orange or red watches and warnings.

“Heavy rain forecast in the Tararua ranges inevitably means flooding for our district. Anyone who keeps animals next to rivers and streams, or in areas where there is high groundwater, wetlands, or a history of flooding or ponding need to have a plan in place to move their animals before things get dicey.

“If you are going to be away from home, talk to your neighbours or other horse owners or farmers, and ask them to keep an eye out. You need to be prepared to move the animals if particularly heavy rain is forecast, as it has been all this past week,” he said.

Parts of the Kāpiti Coast experienced almost 30mm of rainfall between 8–10am on Monday. The monthly average for August in Paraparaumu is 71mm. A MetService spokesperson said 3-4mm an hour was usually considered to be ‘heavy’ rain. At its heaviest, about 310mm fell in the Tararuas on Sunday-Monday, much of which finds its way to the coast via our rivers and streams.

*New products added to our raw fish range* 🚨🐟

Minced Tuna and Whole Pilchards - now available in store!

Fish is loaded with goodness and packed full of Omega-3 fatty acids which is amazing for both your pets skin and joints.

Fish is also an awesome source of Vitamin E. So for those who solely raw feed their pets, fish should be included a couple of times a week to help meet requirements as this isn’t always easy without the addition of seafood in their diets.

You may have noticed these furry items we sell in store! Although they are a bit creepy, they are super beneficial to include in both your cat and dogs diet!

Fur is a species appropriate way of increasing fibre intake in your pets diet. As the hair travels through the intestines, it gently brushes away undigested food, increasing the ability to absorb nutrients and also working as a natural dewormer flushing parasites out along the way. Another bonus is that they also provide great enrichment and dental benefits for your pets!

Deer ears are a good option for larger dogs, whilst both the Rabbit tails and ears are perfect for smaller dogs and cats 🐇

Both Prince and Cronus enjoy there treats a couple times a week 🐈🐾
