🐾 Happy Vet Nurse Appreciation Week! 💙

This week we’re celebrating the incredible veterinary nurses who keep our clinic running every single day.

From monitoring anaesthetics, taking bloods and caring for hospital patients, to comforting nervous pets, supporting worried owners, cleaning up the less glamorous messes and somehow keeping everything moving behind the scenes — our nurses do it all. 🩺🐶🐱

Veterinary nursing takes a huge amount of skill, knowledge, compassion and resilience, and we’re incredibly lucky to have such a dedicated team.

A massive THANK YOU to our wonderful nurses for everything you do for our patients, clients, vets and each other. We appreciate you more than you know! 💙

Drop some love for our amazing vet nurses in the comments! 🐾✨

Happy Mother’s Day from your furry little family 🐾💖

“Thanks for the cuddles, the treats, the clean bowls, and all the love you give us every single day. We may not say it in words, but we show it in purrs, tail wags, and following you everywhere. You’re our whole world.

Love,
Your pets 🐶🐱”

Tomorrow morning, as we pause to remember and reflect on ANZAC Day, we will not be operating our usual sales until after 1pm.

ANZAC Day is about honouring those who served and sacrificed, and we join our community in taking a moment of respect.

We will be open for consultations throughout the day.

Lest we forget.

⚠️ Parvo Alert – Hutt Valley Area ⚠️

We’ve been informed of a confirmed parvovirus case linked to a local clinic dog that has recently been walked in several Hutt Valley parks.

Parvo is highly contagious and can be fatal, especially for puppies and unvaccinated dogs. The virus can survive in the environment for long periods, including on grass, paths, and even shoes.

Please take extra precautions:
• Ensure your dog’s vaccinations are up to date
• Avoid high-traffic dog areas if your pup is not fully vaccinated
• Keep a close eye on your dog for symptoms (lethargy, vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite)
• Practice good hygiene (clean shoes, wash hands after walks)

If your dog shows any signs of illness, contact your vet immediately.

Let’s help keep our community dogs safe 💛
