😁🐾 A healthier smile could start with just 15 minutes.

For September & October, we're offering a Vet & Nurse Dental Health Assessment for just $36 for pets aged 2 years and over.

We'll assess your pet's teeth and gums and let you know whether treatment or preventative dental care is recommended.

And here's the best part:

💙 If your pet needs a dental procedure and you book it during September or October, we'll credit the full $36 assessment fee towards their dental treatment.

No treatment is carried out at the assessment — it's about finding out exactly what your pet needs and helping you plan their dental care.

Available at:

📍 BayVets Edgecumbe
📍 Vets4Petz Whakatāne
📍 Vets4Petz Kawerau

Appointments are limited — book your pet's Dental Health Assessment today.

💡 Did you know...
Many common diseases in older pets develop quietly and don't cause obvious symptoms in the early stages.
A Senior Wellness Check may help detect:
• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• Diabetes
• Thyroid disorders
• High blood pressure
• Arthritis

Early diagnosis often means more treatment options and a better quality of life.
If your pet is 7 years or older, now is the perfect opportunity to have them checked while our Senior Wellness Promotion is running.
Appointments are filling quickly—contact us to book.

Age Is More Than Just a Number

Did you know that a 7-year-old pet is considered a senior?
As pets age, their health needs change—even if they're still playful and acting like puppies or kittens at heart.
Our Senior Wellness Checks are designed to give your pet a thorough health assessment from nose to tail, helping us identify age-related changes early and keep them feeling their best.
These checks include:
🩺 Senior health consultation
🩸 Bloodwork
💙 FREE blood pressure test
🦷 Dental assessment
🐕 Arthritis and mobility check
🥣 Nutrition recommendations
Healthy ageing starts with preventative care.
