Last weekend we had the pleasure of sponsoring the Supreme Champion Holstein Friesian class at the Canterbury A & P Royal Show. The weather wasn't flash but it shined when needed. Laura was on hand to give out the ribbons.

๐ŸฉบIf you suspect a barley grass, it's best to contact your vet rather than remove it yourself. Ask your vet during a consult where to check for the grasses if you're unsure. Did you know that we can also shave your dogs paws? Contact the clinic to book in a time!

The early mornings, late nights, missed lunches, and cancelled plans โ€” theyโ€™re always worth it in the end.
We do it for the patients, rain or shine, no matter the size.
And for the hardworking people who give their all, day and night, to do the best for their animals. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

We would also like to acknowledge our casual tech staff who come and help with teatsealing and debudding. It's great to be able to have regular casuals who fit right back in with our teams, we know our techs enjoy the banter and experience they bring.
