Rangiora Vet Clinic
Hi there,
I am not one to grumble regarding our local businesses, but sometimes they forget that the small lifestyle block holders are of value and reliable clients.
It has never been an issue seasonally to purchase 5 in 1 Vacs. for under 40 sheep.
(Noting $70 plus for 100mls and has to be used within 30days.)
Popped in today to get the Matrix $195 for worming and 5 in 1Vac.$70 ready for the Autumn Ewe/Lamb tidy up. Been a regular for 7 years, never been an issue, but today RVC told me I could get 10mls. only or buy the full pack.
Really it is time these companies realized, lifestyle blocks are growing, there is a place for smaller quantities of product.
Happy to receive feed back and any suggestions regarding helpful vets, for the smaller farmer.
Maybe go halves in a pack.
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.4% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.5% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
-
31.7% Yes!
-
68.3% No thank you.
