🐾 Did you know? When puppies come in for their 8-week vaccinations, it’s not just about the needles! 💉

Our vets also carry out a full health check to make sure your pup is off to the best possible start.

That includes:
Listening to their heart for any murmurs or abnormalities
Checking jaw alignment and mouth structure
Assessing eye symmetry and head shape
Feeling for umbilical hernias
Confirming both testicles are descended in males
Examining their skin and coat condition

It’s a full nose-to-tail check to ensure your puppy is healthy, thriving, and ready for the next stage of life.
These GSP pups passed with flying colours—some are still looking for their forever homes! 🏡💙

🐾 Bean’s Journey: Lost, found, and finally home🐾

Bean’s adventure is a testament to the power of microchipping and keeping pet details updated!

While backpacking in New Zealand, a French couple met a cozy little cat at a Cromwell campground. Days later, they returned to find him still waiting, cuddling up in the cold. Sensing he needed help, they brought him to Vetlife Wanaka, where we quickly discovered he wasn’t just any cat—he had a family!

His microchip led us to NZCAR, where we learned his name was Bean, missing from Queenstown since Easter. One phone call later, his family was overwhelmed with joy, and his kids were crying happy tears—Bean was finally coming home!

This heartwarming reunion proves how vital microchipping and updated records are. Without them, Bean might never have made it back.

📸 Pictured: Bean reunited with his dad at the Vetlife Wanaka clinic, ready to head home where he belongs.

✨ Is your pet’s microchip info up to date? This small step can make all the difference. https://hubs.ly/Q03t5Ljv0

Just like us, pets can experience gradual health changes that might go unnoticed. By establishing a health baseline through routine vet visits, you create a reference point for what’s normal for your furry friend.

From weight trends and heart rate to bloodwork and behaviour patterns, tracking these details helps vets detect subtle shifts early—before they turn into major health problems. Early detection means faster treatment and a better quality of life!

Pets are masters of disguise when it comes to hiding pain or illness. By the time symptoms become obvious, it may be too late to prevent serious health issues.

That’s why routine vet visits are so important—they allow for early detection of hidden illnesses, giving your furry friend the best chance at a healthy, happy life.

Whether it's spotting early signs of kidney disease, heart problems, or detecting silent infections, vets have the expertise to catch what we can't see.

🐾 CC is Ready for Her Forever Home! 🐾

Meet CC, a stunning calico who’s been part of the Ashburton Vetlife clinic family for the past year. Now, this playful and loving girl is looking for a stable home where she can thrive!

At 2 years old, CC is speyed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated—ready to bring joy to her new family. She has a sweet personality with a fun feisty streak when it comes to playtime. A true treat-lover, she enjoys cozying up on your lap when the mood strikes her.

CC does have a couple of medical considerations that we’ll discuss with potential adopters, but nothing requiring ongoing medication. She would do best in a home without other pets or on a farm/lifestyle block, where she can enjoy her independence while still getting plenty of love.

📞 Interested in giving CC a forever home? Call the Ashburton Vetlife clinic at 03 307 5195 to learn more! Let’s find this beautiful girl the perfect place to call her own. ❤️🏡
