Health Checks
Pets, on average, age five to eight times faster than humans. By age two, most pets have already reached adulthood. At age four, many are entering middle age. By age seven, many dogs, particularly larger breeds, are entering their senior years.
Cat Vaccination
Vaccination has revolutionised the control of infectious diseases in our pets. It is essential that all pets are adequately vaccinated to help protect the pet population as a whole.
Dog Vaccination
Vaccination has revolutionised the control of infectious diseases in our pets. It is essential that all pets are adequately vaccinated to help protect the pet population as a whole. Responsible pet care requires puppies to be given their initial course of vaccinations
Flea Control
Fleas are most often seen during the warmer months but as we keep our homes nice and warm throughout winter, we see fleas all year round. Only a small part of the adult flea population actually lives on your pet.
Intestinal Worms
Worming is one of the first health care issues pet owners need to address as pups and kittens are the most susceptible. As their name suggests, intestinal worms are parasites that live inside your pet’s intestines.
Microchipping
A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is injected under your pet’s skin. It can be done during a normal consultation. The microchip is embedded with a code unique to your pet and is the most effective form of permanent identification.
Dentistry
Dentistry is a rapidly growing area of veterinary science. We have seen a greater awareness over the last 25 years of its importance to the overall health of the animals we treat.
Digital radiography
Our hospital is fully equipped to take digital radiographs (often called X-rays) of your pet. Our veterinarian will discuss your pet’s case and conduct a thorough physical examination to determine if your pet requires radiographs. Radiographs are a very important tool to help us diagnose diseases in animals, particularly for conditions involving bones, the chest or abdomen.
Specialist Referrals
When an animal develops an unusual illness or injury, there is often a need for specialised expertise and equipment to properly diagnose and treat the problem. If your pet has a problem that requires this level of expertise we can refer you to a specialist that has earned our trust and confidence in order to give your pet the optimal chance of recovery.
In-house Laboratory
Our Clinic is equipped with an in-house laboratory that allows our veterinarian to quickly perform diagnostic tests, results are normally available within an hour. Some more specialised tests may need to be performed by an external veterinary laboratory.
Pet Insurance
Pet insurance is becoming more and more popular in New Zealand. It offers you peace of mind as it covers some or all of the treatment costs if your pet was ever involved in an accident or suffers a sudden illness.
