To celebrate our accreditation, over the coming week all patients will be getting a little present when they come in, even if it is just to say hello. For any queries or appointments ring us on (09) 424 7752.

BEST PRACTICE is currently a voluntary programme, so you know when you choose an accredited clinic, your veterinarians stand by their excellence, because they volunteer to undergo an extensive 4-5 hour audit every two years. Whangaparaoa Veterinary Centre just had their audit last week, passing with flying colours, and are currently the only practice on the Shore with accreditation.

Whangaparaoa Veterinary Centre is located in the Centre of Whangaparaoa, opposite the Plaza, next to the Police Station. With 4 Veterinarians, (Dr Shanti Scott BVSc, Dr Emma Gerber BVSc, Dr Monique Veen DVM, Dr Erin Cassie BVSc) and 7 experienced, qualified Veterinary Nurses, there are always plenty of staff members to see to all the patients coming into the clinic.

All of our staff are very excited about the recognition by the New Zealand Veterinary Association of their continuous superb level of professionalism, care and service to our furry animals on the Hibiscus Coast.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Is it fair to pay for landline calls to Auckland

Reporter Rodney Times

Auckland's free-calling area stops north of Muriwai Beach, Hobsonville and Albany.

This saw around 90,000 Hibiscus and Bays residents and around 55,000 Rodney residents reliant on toll calls to ring outside their area.

But around 70 per cent of people now have smart phone access.

This saw around 90,000 Hibiscus and Bays residents and around 55,000 Rodney residents reliant on toll calls to ring outside their area.

But around 70 per cent of people now have smart phone access.

Older people are most likely to only take the landline option. Others will often take the landline option on a broadband package for computers or tablets, but only so older relatives can still reach call, or as an emergency option.

Free call apps have also become popular.

Do you think it's fair to have to pay for phone calls to Auckland numbers?
