A friendly reminder that our clinic is closed today for the King's Birthday public holiday.

A large animal vet remains on call today for farm and equine emergencies.

We hope you're enjoying a relaxing day with family & friends, and we'll see you back in clinic tomorrow.

🎙 On Air with Radio Kahungunu – Let’s Talk Desexing

Emmie recently sat down with Rahina at Radio Kahungunu to chat about the benefits of desexing our pets 🐶🐱

Desexing is one of the most important things you can do for your pet’s long-term health and wellbeing — helping to prevent unwanted litters, reduce certain cancers, and support better behaviour.

🎧 Have a listen to the full kōrero here:

🌳🐄 Acorn Toxicity in Livestock

As acorns drop this autumn, they’re more than just a sign of the season — they can be toxic to cattle, sheep, and deer.

Acorns contain tannins that can cause gut upset and even serious kidney damage if eaten in larger amounts.

⚠️ Risk is higher when feed is tight or stock are hungry.

If something’s not right, don’t wait — early intervention is key.
