** FOUND/LOST CAT**
A member of the public has brought a lost Ragdoll into the clinic.
He has been hanging around the same area since mid February. He is unfortunately not microchipped, but is desexed. He is mostly white with very small, light brown markings on his back, brown ears, some brown on his face, and beautiful blue eyes. He is extremely friendly so we are hoping that someone may recognise him.
If you believe this is your cat, please contact us at 09 529 2091 or [email protected]. Proof of ownership will be required before he can be returned.

"BUT MY PET'S OLD.. SO NO THANKS" 🧓- Let's play that out! 😉

Your pet is 10 years old. you skip bloodwork this year because they "seem fine".
But what you don't see: Early disease doesn't always show symptoms.
PREVENTATIVE CARE ISN'T "EXTRA" 💲 but the difference between:

🤓Manageable disease
vs
😢 Medical crisis

"But my pet gets too stressed at the vet..." I hear this all the time, and it's valid! 🙂
-WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS FOR SENIOR PETS:
🛋️at home vet visits
🧸bringing things that help (blanket, toy, treats, harness,etc.)
💊Pre-visit meds like Gabapentin and Trazadone
👃pheromone support like Adaptil or Feliway

Woried about cost? 😥
Option exist: - spreading out visits (Exam now, Labs in a month)
- Focus on one priority
- Planning ahead for Senior care with Savings.

We can adapt the plan to your pet needs. SKIPPING CARE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE ANSWER. 🫶

SCREEANING SAVES LIVES!
early detection changes EVERYTHING 🐶🐱

Don't wait for a crisis to find out what you could've caught sooner.

She said - Helping animals is her passion and enjoys the hospital care aspect of nursing, following a patient's journey throught and been there to help them feel less scared and a bit better. 🥰- And if she had unlimited money, she'd buy a plot of land near the beach in a quite little area in Northland, build a house on it, have lots of pets like horses, dogs, etc. and put a little animal shelter for rescue dogs and cats.

Thanks Alannah for being so sweet with your patients and such a hard worker and team player! 🤩

Uncomfortable Fact about your anxious/stressed pet!

-Excesive panting and even tremoring during a particular situation.

FIVE PET SAFETY TIPS FOR PAW-LENTINE'S DAY!!! 💕🐶💋🐱

1. Hide that heart-shape box of chocolate! because it contains caffeine and theobromine. This can cause vomiting, diarrhea, seizures and even death if your pet ingest it.

2. Pets love to chew and play with stuffed toys, lingeri, roses or even small parts of plastic. All this things can cause an obstruction and lead to a very unforgettable time with a very expensive bill.

3. If your favorite person has cats at home. DO NOT GIVE THEM LILIES! We know lilies are nice and romantic but it also contains a toxin that causes rapid kidney failure in cats.

4. If you are planning on turning the passion on with some wine or alcohol, just keep them out of reach from your pets at all times. Alcohol can cause blood sugar and blood pressure to drop dangerously.

5. Remember that cats like to knock things off. So, if burning some candles to help you set up the ambience. Do not leave them unattended!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY FROM YOUR VETERINARY TEAM!🥰😍 .
