Veterinary Covid Essential Services
As our clients are likely to be aware we will be continuing to operate at Level 3 until further notice.
As an essential service we will still be open and available to look after you and your pets however modifications on how we operate will remain in place.
Fortunately all of our staff have had at least one covid vaccine injection several weeks ago and the team will complete their second in the next few weeks.
Points our clients need to be aware of:
-Please make appointments via phone or online booking through our website.
-Level 3 lockdown now means we need to limit any face to face contact at our premises so please be prepared to be seperated from your pet if we need to examine your pet away from you or run diagnostic tests. Dont worry we care for them just like our own.
-We are able to supply medications and food but please call or email to order them in advance and when you get to the clinic please call us from the carpark to let us know you are here to pick them up.
-As an essential service it is required that you please wear a mask when visiting our business. All staff will be wearing masks.
-We will be spacing out appointments to try and limit contact between people so we may contact you to slightly change appointment times if necessary.
-If you are unwell or have been in contact with someone who is unwell please stay home- if your pet is unwell please call us and we will make a plan to get them seen that keeps everyone safe.
And most of all, be kind and stay safe let's get through this again together!

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
