Sensory Enrichment

Is all about stimulating your pet's senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, and even taste) to keep their minds engaged and their instincts active. It's a way to make their environment more interesting and varied, which promotes mental and physical well-being.

Examples of Sensory Enrichment:
✔️Engage their sense of sight with moving objects like bubbles
✔️Enhance their hearing with pet-safe music or natural sounds
✔️Stimulate touch with toys or surfaces of different textures

Sensory enrichment strengthens their connection to their environment and keeps their world exciting! Every pet deserves to explore and engage their senses. Tell us in the comments how do you bring sensory enrichment into your furry friend's life?? 🐩🐇🐈🐎

🐶💛 Social Enrichment for Happy, Healthy Dogs! 💛🐶

Dogs are naturally social creatures, and fostering meaningful connections (whether with fellow pups or their favorite humans) is key to their happiness! Social interaction strengthens their confidence, reduces stress, and keeps them mentally stimulated.

Ways to boost your dog's social life:
✔️Join group walks with friends and their dogs
✔️Visit dog parks for playtime and new friendships
✔️Arrange playdates to encourage bonding and fun

How does your dog love to socialize? Share their favorite activities in the comments! 🐕🐩

🐶✨ Enrichment on a budget? Yes, please! ✨🐶

One of the simplest (and most satisfying) ways to keep your pup engaged is letting them unleash their inner shredder! Cardboard destruction isn’t just fun—it provides fantastic mental stimulation and satisfies natural instincts.

Toilet rolls are a perfect choice!
✔️ Fun to rip apart
✔️ Budget-friendly enrichment
✔️ Can double as a treat puzzle—just tuck some goodies inside, fold the ends, and let them sniff, tear, and enjoy!

Here’s one of Vetlife’s own—Lead Clinic Nurse Courtney’s pups—fully immersed in their favourite enrichment activity!

Zoonotic diseases are illnesses that can be transmitted from an animal to a person. They can be bacterial, viral, parasitical, or fungal. Below are some of the main ones:
🦠Salmonella
🦠Rotavirus
🦠Ringworm

Many of the illnesses are picked up due inadequate hygiene and personal care. Some of the ways we can minimise the potential for infection are by regularly washing hands and not eating/drinking while handling animals.

To prevent the transmission of zoonotic illness for our much-loved pets we encourage:
👉Regular worming
👉Vaccination programme
👉Regular veterinary checks
👉External parasite control.

If you have any questions about zoonotic illnesses, please reach out to your local Vetlife Team!

🐾 Did you know that enrolling your puppy in pre-school can set the foundation for a well-adjusted adult dog?
Puppy pre-school offers critical socialisation, helping your furry friend interact positively with other dogs and people.
Structured training sessions cultivate essential obedience skills, making them easier to manage at home and in public.
Moreover, early development fosters confidence, reducing the likelihood of behavioral issues later on.

Give your pup the best start in life—consider puppy preschool today!

🚨There has been reported cases of Canine Parvovirus across the North Island and also around Christchurch City. 🚨

We urge all dog owners in the area to check their pet’s vaccination records and ensure they are up to date. Parvovirus affects dogs of all ages, but puppies under 6 months are most susceptible.

Symptoms of parvovirus include:
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Fever
Lethargy
Loss of appetite

The virus is shed in the faeces of infected dogs, but it can also be carried on food, shoes etc into the dog's environment and can survive in the environment for extended periods, meaning it remains a risk long after an infected dog has left an area.

More info can be found here https://hubs.la/Q03bRYr20

Please give us a call if you have any doubts or need help checking your dog's vaccination records!
