Cat Friendly Clinic - Gold - awarded February 2019

East Coast Bays Vet Clinic

East Coast Bays Vet Clinic has achieved the internationally-recognised Cat-Friendly Clinic Gold level accreditation

“We wanted to make sure that a trip to our clinic was as stress-free an experience as possible for our cat patients and their owners. Cats can get very anxious when taken out of their usual environment, and this can make owners reluctant to seek veterinary attention when their cat needs it. By undertaking Cat-Friendly Clinic accreditation, we’ve committed to delivering high standards of cat care, with compassion and expertise.”

Best Practice Accredited - awarded in July 2018.

We are proud to announce our Best Practice accreditation! Best Practice is a NZ Veterinary Association initiative to encourage excellence in Veterinary Medicine.

We are the first clinic on the North Shore to achieve this standard and it provides further assurance that you are trusting your pet to safe care. The accreditation involves voluntarily submitting ourselves to a stringent and comprehensive scrutiny of the facility, staff and operational standards every two years by an independent auditor.

Being a voluntary set of standards, it is a clear indication that our team is professional, organised and motivated to provide excellence of care for your pet.

What workplace change would you like to see most?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.

As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.

Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
