❄️WINTER WELLNESS❄️ - Winter is here!

Hamilton Small Animal Veterinary Centre

❤️Do You Have A Pet Showing Signs Of Old Age?❤️

🐈‍⬛ Is your cat more than 11 years old?
🐕 Your small dog more than 10 years old?
🐩 Or your big dog more than 7 years old?

Then these loyal companions are considered SENIORS.

The older we and our pets get the more predisposed to disease we all are but old age is not a disease itself. Many of the issues that come with getting older are treatable.

We recommend younger animals see their vet a least once a year for a health check up, but senior pets we recommend every 6 months, as things can change faster when they are older.

🥶Winter time and cooler temperatures can bring out the aches and pains, so why not have a Winter Wellness Check for your senior fur family members.

Arthritis is particularly common in our senior pets and is just a part of the aging process. Arthritis can be managed, so if you have noticed your pet is stiff in the mornings, jumping and playing less or your cats fur is matted particularly around their back end, give the team a call on 07 8492963 and book them in for a Winter Wellness Check!💕

🐾❤️Your Pet Will Thank you For It❤️🐾

This handsome gentleman is ‘Scamp’ who will be eleven this year and has been a wonderful client of ours for many years!🥰

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
