Identifying when your furry friend is in pain🐕‍🦺🐈

Hamilton Small Animal Veterinary Centre

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if your pet is in pain, dogs and cats feel pain much like we do but tend to show it in different ways. 🐕🐩💕

Cats in particular tend to hide their pain, this is a natural survival mechanism. So it’s important to look out for signs that they’re unwell or in discomfort. The sooner you can determine there is an issue, the sooner you can seek help, thus keeping minor problems from turning into major ones.❤️

Take a look at the chart below and use as a guideline only to determine how your companion pet is feeling.

If you have any concerns and just require some advice or you need to make an appointment to see one of our vet team, then give us a call on 07 8492963.☎️☺️

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
