Very skinny cat found Hillcrest tralee place

Summa from Frankton

Does anyone own this sweet baby? Tralee Place, Hillcrest. VERY skinny and timid but obviously very hungry because it came up to my back step when my cat was there.

Hi Hamilton,

Does roading infrastructure need an upgrade in your suburb?

Some Hamilton drivers are performing dangerous manoeuvres directly in front of schools, abusing parking wardens and running red lights.

Hamilton City Councillors Sarah Thomson​ and Mark Bunting​ say inconsiderate and dangerous driving around schools is a city-wide problem – and it appears to be getting worse.

“Essentially people are driving and acting like maniacs around schools during the drop-off and pick-up times. People are parking on yellow lines right in front of crossings, or even sometimes on crossings. Drivers are parking right on cycleways and then do dangerous manoeuvres when they pull out,” Thomson said.

Traffic data shows red light running peaks at 9am and 3pm in the city - traditionally around the start and finish of the school day, respectively.

Community advocacy groups have suggested several solutions to curb irresponsible driving behaviour including having reliable bus services along popular commuting routes and safe cycle lanes.

Meet Pippa, she came in to us for a dental, not because she required one but as a preventative measure.❤️

X-ray’s were taken to ensure nothing was going on underneath the surface, revealing everything was healthy. Her teeth were then scaled and polished and as you can see it made quite a difference.

Not all cats and dogs are so lucky, it’s estimated that without proper dental care 80% of dogs will show signs of oral disease by the age of three.🐕🐈‍⬛

❤️Providing a good diet - a dry dental food is best as it helps scrape the plaque off the teeth when eaten.
❤️Brushing your pets teeth - check out the oral hygiene kits we have in the clinic, with poultry flavoured toothpaste!
❤️Dental Chews - like Veggiedent can help to control tartar and freshen breath.

Get your pets teeth checked at their next visit or call our reception team to book in for an oral health check up on 07 8492963.Remember prevention is better than cure.🙂

❤️“Your Pet Will Thank You For It!”❤️
