During the warm weather, the river becomes one of the most popular places for people and their canine companions to cool down.
Did you know owners are more likely to seek prompt veterinary attention when required if they have ways of making vet visits less stressful.
Muzzles are for everyone’s safety, including your dog’s. In situations where you can’t control everything that happens around you, it’s best to protect them. The good news is that your dog can learn to love their muzzle. Getting your dog out and about and helping them to feel comfortable in the presence of others is much more important than what headgear they wear.
Itchy skin is a common problem among cats and dogs. It can be distressing and frustrating for both pets and their owners and can lead to self-trauma, secondary infections and other complications. Identifying the underlying cause is important for effective treatment and management.
Tararua Vets offers a comprehensive on-farm and in-clinic veterinary service. Our branches in Pahiatua and Dannevirke complement this service with carefully chosen animal health products and merchandise with up-to-date advice on their use.
