When there's more than the tongue or nutritional food in your dog's mouth, be ready to take a look! If your pet is pawing at its muzzle or showing signs of stress, it may be that something is lodged between its teeth. Here are a couple of examples of potential hazards: Photo #1 - a stick lodged across the bridge, and Photo #2 - a bone that was removed from a dog's mouth, which was in a similar position. Both required our veterinary assistance.

Anaesthesia is essential for clean teeth

You may have seen “anaesthesia-free” dental services promoted for pets, but these procedures are not recommended and can be harmful.

While it might sound like a gentler option, the truth is that proper dental care for pets cannot be done while they’re awake. Without anaesthesia, it’s impossible to examine the mouth thoroughly, take dental X-rays, or clean under the gumline - all of which are essential for diagnosing and treating dental disease.

In contrast, when your pet is anaesthetised, we can:
- Take radiographs to check for disease below the surface
- Use specialised tools to probe and treat the teeth safely
- Clean the teeth thoroughly, including beneath the gumline where bacteria hide

Removing only the visible calculus (as done in anaesthesia-free procedures) is purely cosmetic. It doesn’t treat the cause of dental disease or prevent pain and infection. Worse still, it may mask serious problems and delay proper treatment.

If you have any questions about your pet's dental health, just ask us - we are always here to help. You can also learn more on the NZ SPCA website, which explains why anaesthesia-free dentistry is not recommended for pets.

Purchase your pre-lamb vaccine and go in the draw to win a $50 NCVC voucher. Ultravac 5in1 vaccine is effective in pre-lamb vaccination because it provides protection against major clostridial diseases (like pulpy kidney and tetanus) through maternal antibodies passed to lambs via colostrum. This early protection helps minimise lamb losses due to these diseases.

Every year on July 6th, World Zoonoses Day is observed, commemorating the anniversary of the first rabies vaccine administered to a human on July 6, 1885.

Diseases that originate in animals and can be transmitted to humans (i.e. zoonoses) don't need to be scary - pets and their families can easily be protected by giving them proper vaccinations, monthly parasiticide treatments, and maintaining good hygiene.

If you would like more info, drop by for a chat. We have a wide range of products to suit your needs with varying administration methods and periods of protection.

Zoonotic diseases can pose a significant threat to both you and your pets. Protect your pets by giving them proper vaccinations, monthly parasiticide treatments, and maintaining good hygiene. So, let’s make sure our pets receive the proper care, attention and love they deserve.
