🌟 A huge thank you to our wonderful clients 🌟

It’s been almost one month since our clinic was purchased by new owners Alex and Tessa Meban, and we became VetEast. We would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding during the transition, as we have been transferring client and animals details and getting used to our updated computer systems ! We have an amazing team of highly skilled and caring staff, and we are looking forward to an exciting future.

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 - 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐕𝐞𝐭𝐬.

Eastland Veterinary Services is pleased to announce that they have sold their business to Gisborne Country Vets. Alex & Tessa Meban of Gisborne Country Vets are excited to bring these two practices together, combining their passion for personalised care with a strong community focus.

From 31 January our clinic will operate as Gisborne Country Veterinary Services Ltd. John, Tina, and Fiona will all remain on the staff of the new business, and there will be a few new faces as our two staff teams are combined. It will be business as usual with no anticipated disruption to services.

We appreciate your loyal custom over the years, and would love to see you in clinic before the end of January for a catch up. We wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and an even greater New Year 🎄🎄🎄

The EVS team had a fantastic time at the Gisborne Terrier Races last Sunday. This is such a great event that we love to support. It's always a laugh to see the chaos - dogs running in all directions and everyone having a fun day out !

Now that we're coming into hotter weather it's important to be aware of the risk of heatstroke for animals. If you find an animal you suspect is suffering from heatstroke it is important you get them to the clinic immediately, as the effects can be fatal.

Gisborne and Wairoa are unfortunately usually in the "high" category for sheep measles infection stats. It is important that we work towards making a positive change. Ensure all dogs are wormed on a monthly basis, including hunting dogs and any visiting dogs over the Christmas break.

Contact the clinic if you would like to join the Vetserve postal worming program. Worming pills will be mailed to you each month, taking the hassle out of remembering to dose your dogs.

Wairoa ☎️ 06 838 6099

All dogs on farms where sheep graze must be dosed regularly with tapeworm treatments.

We are proudly a ROYAL CANIN® Recycling Program collection hub. Drop off your used ROYAL CANIN® or Eukanuba™ packaging in-clinic to be recycled and together we can not only make a better world for pets, but a greener world for us all.

So far in our Gisborne clinic we have recycled over 50kg of ROYAL CANIN® packaging. Thanks for helping to make this recycling program so successful !

Searching for Owners!

This little guy was found on Back Ormond Road out in the country last night. He may have been hit by a car but seems to be reasonably unscathed. He's only about 7 weeks old and has no microchip.

Please contact the clinic if this little cutie is yours - 06 867 9405

Meet Emma !

Our amazing Head Vet Nurse Emma has a Diploma in Veterinary Nursing, and moved to Eastland Vets almost 6 years ago. She excels in her leadership role, and helps to keep the companion animal department running smoothly.

Emma is a multi-tasker and can carry out her nursing work at the same time as giving John or Garry a hard time, which always gives us a laugh. She organises all of our staff social functions, as well as in-clinic staff competitions and challenges.

Charlie is an honorary EVS staff member, as he pays the most attention at any meetings or staff training sessions he attends. Well done Charlie 😃
