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! 📅✅

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! 🙀

Did you know it's easy to miss dental issues just by looking at a pet's mouth with the naked eye?

This kitty appeared to have a healthy set of teeth at first glance. However, radiographs revealed significant dental damage! 🦷

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!

🌟 Matariki Observance 🌟

Kia ora, everyone! This Friday, our clinics will be closed as we join in the celebrations of Matariki, the Māori New Year. 🌌✨

Matariki is a special time for reflection, remembrance, and renewal. We hope you all have a wonderful day filled with whānau, friends, and cherished moments.

Please be aware that fireworks may be used during Matariki celebrations. Here are some tips to ensure your pets stay calm and safe:

🐾 Keep pets indoors and in a quiet room.
🐾 Close windows and curtains to muffle the sound.
🐾 Provide comforting toys or blankets.
🐾 Consider using calming aids if needed.

We'll be back and ready to assist with all your pet needs after Friday. If you have any emergencies during this time, please contact your nearest after hours clinic.
