Happy Matariki!

Wishing everyone all the best for the weekend, we are getting super excited about the Super Rugby Pacific Crusaders v Chiefs sold out final tomorrow - we have some avid Chiefs followers in the clinic, all getting excited for the big game! So sorry you can’t be there Dan as you are on call, but proud that you have got into the spirit at work anyway! 🤣

Go the mighty Chiefs!! It’s gonna be a cracker of a game and we are all behind you! (Well most of us 😜)

Our super special one-day only, discounted cat castrate day on Tuesday went incredibly well, with the community now having 28 less entire males in it! A big thank you to all for spreading the word and those that reached out and booked them in.

Desexing is important for numerous reasons - it eliminates or reduces urine spraying, decreases aggression (we see a lot of cat fight wounds), and not to mention the massive effect it has on cat population control!

Thanks again for all of your support, who knows - maybe we will have to do another one in the future - watch this space!

We are now fully booked. 14/6/25

📣Spread the word - $60 Cat Castrates - One day only!!

Limited spaces available. Phone the clinic to book 075737606

📣Calling all dogs with arthritis in the Bay of Plenty! TPVC is excited to be part of this clinical trial that is going to be happening in clinic over the next couple of months.
If you have a dog with arthritis and would be keen to participate in this trial (which will require some time and recording commitments from you as the owner) then click the link on the post below so we can assess your eligibility. Feel free to share to friends in the Bay of Plenty that may not use TPVC for their pets - this trial will be separate from day to day vet work so the super important normal vet-client relationship will still be maintained.

We’re looking for dogs in the Te Puke, Rangiora, Hamilton, and Waipa areas with diagnosed or suspected osteoarthritis to take part in a veterinary clinical trial. The study is investigating a new and exciting treatment that is not a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
