Over the past few weeks, there has been a noticeable spike in Parvovirus cases in South Auckland, and we are seeing an increase in cases at our clinic as well.
Parvovirus is a highly contagious virus that causes severe gastrointestinal disease, particularly in young and unvaccinated dogs. It can progress rapidly and become life-threatening.

🐾 Common symptoms include:
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
• Fever or low body temperature
• Dehydration
• Vomiting
• Diarrhoea that may progress to blood in the stools
Parvo cannot be cured with a specific medication. Treatment involves intensive supportive care, and sadly, even with the best treatment, some puppies may not survive.
💉 Vaccination is the best and most effective protection.
Ensuring your puppy completes their full vaccination course — and that adult dogs are up to date with boosters — is critical.
If your dog is showing any of the above signs, please contact us immediately for advice.
Let’s work together to protect our South Auckland pups ❤️

As the temperatures rise, it's crucial to keep our pets cool and comfortable. Here are some pawsome tips to ensure your fur babies stay chill during the hot days of summer:
☀️ Hydration Station: Always provide fresh, cool water for your pets. Keep their water bowls filled and consider adding ice cubes to keep it extra refreshing!
☀️ Shade: Create shady spots in your yard or home where your pets can escape the sun's intensity. Trees, umbrellas, or even a cozy blanket can provide relief.
☀️ Cool Treats: Whip up some pet-friendly frozen treats! Try freezing dog-safe fruits like watermelon, berries, or even broth ice blocks (salt reduced). It's a tasty way to beat the heat!
☀️ Morning and Evening Walks: Opt for walks during the cooler parts of the day. Early mornings and late evenings are perfect for exercise without overheating.
☀️Paws Off Hot Pavement: Check the pavement temperature before walking your pets. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws. Stick to grassy areas keep walks to the cooler times of the day.
☀️ Grooming TLC: Regular grooming helps keep your pet's coat in top condition. For some pets, a summer trim can provide much-needed relief.
☀️ Car Safety: Never leave your pet in a parked car, even with the windows cracked. Cars can heat up rapidly, leading to dangerous situations for your furry companions.
Spread the love and share these tips with fellow pet parents! Let's keep our pets safe, happy, and cool all summer long! 🌴🐕❄️

Spring means allergy season — not just for us, but for our furry friends too! 🌸

We often see dogs with skin, ear, and eye irritations during this time of year. If left untreated, these can lead to secondary bacterial or fungal infections that are much harder to manage.

💊 Unlike humans, antihistamines don’t work very well in pets. But don’t worry — there are safe and effective treatments available!

Cytopoint injections – a monthly treatment that helps stop the itch.

Apoquel tablets – help control ongoing itchiness.

Supportive care – including medicated shampoos, low-allergy foods, and good flea control.

🐶 If your pet is itching, licking, or showing signs of discomfort, talk to us today. We’ll help tailor the best treatment plan to keep them happy and comfortable this spring! 🌼

With the cost of living on the rise, it’s more important than ever for pet owners to understand the costs of pet care and veterinary treatment.
"Facing the challenges and uncertainty of an unwell or injured pet can be an incredibly anxious and stressful time, and often occurs
when it’s least expected. Pet insurance provides pet owners with reassurance that they can consent to the recommended treatment plan without it becoming a financial decision.”
Sally Cory, NZVA Head of Veterinary Services (Companion Animals)

Pet Vets team can help our clients to answer any questions related to pet insurance and can also explain the cost of basic treatments for their pets or common accidents or illnesses that their pet may experience in their lifetime.

Pet insurance can help facilitate access to more treatment options and peace of mind that their pet can get the treatment
they need when they need it!

🐾 Carrier: We recommend a carrier that opens from the top. Make the carrier a safe haven for your cat. Leave it out and open, give treats in cage, put a favourite blanket, towel, or toy inside the carrier to make it cosier.
🐾 Help familiarize your cat to the sounds and motion of the car by taking your cat for short trips.
🐾 Spray your cat’s carrier with the synthetic pheromone, Feliway.
🐾 If your cat is a foodie, use a favourite snack to attract her into the carrier, .
🐾 If your cat is very stressed, discuss medication such as Gabapentin with your veterinarian. Gabapentin can make the trip less stressful for everyone.
🐾 In an emergency situation, use the “burrito” trick. Snuggly wrap your cat in a blanket or towel with just their head out

Brrr! As the temperatures drop, don’t forget our furry friends feel the cold too!

❄️Warm Bedding – Make sure your pet’s bed is off the cold floor and away from drafts.

❄️Keep Pets Toasty—not Toasted: Pet's curosity and warmth seeking instincts can lead to the risk of serious scalds from hot drinks, hot water bottles and electric blankets.

❄️Arthritis Alert – Cold weather can worsen joint pain. Book a check-up if your senior pet seems stiff or slow.

❄️Coats for Walks – Short-haired or senior dogs benefit from a warm jacket during chilly walks.

❄️Watch the Weight – Pets may be less active in winter. Keep an eye on treats and portion sizes!
