GIVEAWAY 🐶🐱

Want to win a flea treatment for your pet?! Post a pic of your pet making you smile in the comments below and you could win a Nexguard flea treatment. We will pick both a dog and cat winner at the end of March.

Here are two of our Otaki team family members entertaining their guardians. Venom, the cat, decided to forgo all the gorgeous comfy beds her Mum purchased and chose rather an egg box as her bed. While the lovely Lola likes to spread out in the lounge and display her tummy to the world. How lucky are we to share our world with these special creatures. 💚

Summer safetly - protect their paws 🐾☀️

Don't forget to check the tempertaure of the pavements or sand before heading out for a walk with your dog. If it's too hot to rest your hand on the pavement or sand for more than seven seconds, then it's too hot for their paws to handle a walk on it!

We recommend walking them first thing in the morning or waiting until the evening when it's a bit cooler.

A friendly reminder that our clinic will be closed on Monday 22nd January for Wellington Anniversary.

If you require emergency afterhours care, you can ring us on 06 364 6941, your call will be directed to our dedicated afterhours clinic.

Enjoy your long weekend! 💚

We’re back with some more summer safety tips! ☀️🌊

During the warm weather, the river becomes a popular place for people and their dogs to cool down.

Unfortunately, many waterways have lingering toxic algae (cyanobacteria), which can make you and your pets very sick. It is important to actively consider if your favourite swimming spot is a safe place to be by looking for signs of the blue-green algae in the water, and you can also refer to www.lawa.org.nz/swim before setting out.

We have certainly seen some warm days recently, which calls for some summer safety reminders 🥵☀️

Did you know that unlike us, dogs and cats do not sweat? They release heat through their tongues and, to a lesser extent, their foot pads and nose. As you can imagine, this is much less effective than sweating – so even if your comfortable, your pet may be too hot.

This means that when you leave your pet in an enclosed space such as a car, even if the vehicle is in the shade and even if the outside temperature is cool, the temperature and humidity build up very quickly once panting begins.

Heat stroke can be life-threatening, so don't take the risk.

🔹 Do not leave your pet in enclosed areas for any length of time, especially the car!
🔹 Big dogs (St Bernard), dogs with flat faces (Boxer, Pug), and overweight, older, dehydrated or anxious pets are more likely to develop heat stroke, so be extra cautious.
🔹If you’re traveling in the car with your dog, make sure they have plenty of ventilation and allow for frequent water stops throughout the drive

With fireworks season quickly approaching, it’s a good time to start preparing our pets for what is often a stressful and frightening time.

The bright lights and loud bangs aren’t something our pets are accustomed to, so sadly, we see an increase in stress-related behaviours during this time.
