πŸ•πŸΎπŸ’ Skin Allergies in Pets πŸ©ΊπŸŽ‹

Pet Vets Manurewa from Pet Vets Manurewa

Spring means allergy season β€” not just for us, but for our furry friends too! 🌸

We often see dogs with skin, ear, and eye irritations during this time of year. If left untreated, these can lead to secondary bacterial or fungal infections that are much harder to manage.

πŸ’Š Unlike humans, antihistamines don’t work very well in pets. But don’t worry β€” there are safe and effective treatments available!

Cytopoint injections – a monthly treatment that helps stop the itch.

Apoquel tablets – help control ongoing itchiness.

Supportive care – including medicated shampoos, low-allergy foods, and good flea control.

🐢 If your pet is itching, licking, or showing signs of discomfort, talk to us today. We’ll help tailor the best treatment plan to keep them happy and comfortable this spring! 🌼

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? β˜•

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets βš–οΈ

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? πŸ₯¦πŸŒ±πŸ₯•

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
