🌼 Allergy Season is Here – Let’s Keep Our Pets Comfortable! 🌼

Just like us, our pets can suffer from seasonal allergies and reactions. With spring blooms, long grass, and environmental allergens around we’re seeing more itchy, scratchy pets than ever.

👉 Signs to look out for: constant licking, chewing, scratching, or rubbing. If left untreated, these can quickly turn into raw skin, painful infections, and ongoing discomfort.

Ways to help them:

💉Cytopoint is an incredible treatment option that can give long-lasting relief from itching.

💊Keeping your pet’s flea treatments up to date is also crucial fleas are a big trigger for allergy flare-ups.

🧴We also stock a range of over-the-counter solutions including medicated shampoos, mousses, and creams to soothe irritated skin and support healing.

⏰Acting early makes all the difference in preventing bigger problems down the track. If your pet is showing signs of allergies, now is the time to get them checked.

📞 Call us today to chat with our team or book an appointment. Let’s help your furry friend enjoy the season itch-free!

Pet lambs make awesome companions they are smart, affectionate, funny (even if they do eat your rose bushes) At The Vet Clinic Wairarapa, we offer a full range of services to keep your lambs happy and healthy.

🐏 Sheep hide illness well, so if your lamb seems off it’s likely serious. We’re always here for advice, check-ups, and urgent care 🩺.

💉 Vaccinations are essential and timing matters. We can supply individual doses so no need to buy a full pack, talk you through giving them or do it for you in clinic or on farm.

✂️ Tail docking and castration don’t have to be painful. We offer special pricing including pain relief and vaccination in clinic or on-farm with a vet or tech.

⚠️ Bloat is the most common killer of pet lambs. Don't stab, it's outdated and dangerous! Prevention is key, and bloat is always an emergency. Call us right away.

🍼 Orphan lambs need colostrum early. We can test immunity with a quick blood test (up to 10 days old).
If needed we now offer plasma transfusions to boost their immune system..a game-changer!

🌿 As your lamb grows, we can help with drenching, worming and long-term health plans. Ask about our Lifestyle Block Animal Health Plans for year-round care

We’re here to support you every step of the way – just not with the rose bushes! 😅🌹

Over the past little while we’ve received some truly beautiful messages, cards, and gestures of support from our clinic community. We keep these in our tea room with each one being read by all of us, it reminds us why we do what we do.

Caring for your beloved pets and being trusted with their health and happiness is a privilege we never take for granted.

Even on the hardest days your kindness and trust keep us going — and we are so grateful to be part of your family and pets journey. ❤️🖤🤍

🌿 Gentle Goodbyes at Home 🌿

We understand how difficult saying goodbye can be, which is why we offer compassionate home euthanasia services allowing your beloved pet to pass peacefully in the place they feel safest. Whether that’s under a favourite tree, curled up in their well-loved bed, or stretched out in their favourite sunny spot.

Our team offers home euthanasia services with the same compassion, dignity, and gentle care you would receive in clinic. We take the time to be there for you and your family, answering questions, supporting you through the process, and ensuring your pet’s passing is as calm and stress-free as possible.

While the cost for home visits may be higher than in-clinic appointments, this reflects the extra time, travel, staff, and equipment required to give you the personalised care you and your pet deserve during these precious last moments.

You are welcome to stay with your pet as long as you need. When you’re ready, you may bring them back to the clinic for cremation, or we can gently take them with us and handle all arrangements on your behalf.

🌟 We Want to Hear From You! 🌟

As your local vet clinic, we’re always striving to grow, improve and better serve our amazing community of pet lovers. We’d love to know what would you like to see from us in the coming months? 🐶🐱💬

Would planned visits to the communites living out at areas such as the Local beaches be beneficial? More home visit options for those tricky travel days? Or free educational evenings covering topics like dental care, nutrition, or puppy/kitten basics?

We’re genuinely open to your thoughts and suggestions!

But please rememeber even though we’re incredibly passionate about what we do it’s important to be transparent and as much as we’d love to offer even more free services like all small businesses we do have to cover costs to keep our doors open and our team caring for your pets. Every service we provide helps keep our clinic running and your animals healthy and happy.

That said, we’re always looking for meaningful ways to give back and connect with our community, so let us know what matters most to you. 💙

At our veterinary clinic, your pet’s emotional well-being and yours matters deeply to us. That’s why we’ve thoughtfully designed one of our consultation rooms with a private exterior entry and exit, offering a calm, low-stress environment from the very beginning of your visit to the moment you leave.

For pets who experience anxiety or fear, avoiding the busy reception area and direct interaction with other animals can make a world of difference. This quiet, discreet access point helps create a smoother, more peaceful experience from start to finish.

And during the most delicate times such as saying goodbye to a beloved pet this special room allows you to exit the clinic privately, at your own pace, without feeling rushed or exposed. It's a small but deeply meaningful way we try to make emotionally difficult moments a little more bearable.

Because veterinary care isn’t just about treating animals—it’s about caring for the people who love them, too. 🤍🐶🪴
