COVID L2-UPDATE we will be open to see clients from Monday morning, with some conditions.
From Monday, it’s almost business as usual but as we’ll be operating at Level 2, there are a few key changes:
We ask you not to come in if you are sick or showing any symptoms such as cough, sore throat or fever
Increased cleaning of surfaces between clients
Single use or no linen used on beds
Further spacing out of clients and appointments which means less mingling in the waiting room
Our usual level of hygiene for all physio staff including hand washing between each client
PPE will be worn only if appropriate
We ask clients to sanitise or wash their hands wherever possible upon arrival and prior to departure from the clinic
Please book appointments in advance so we are ready for you
Please note, staff schedules may have changed a little to allow for social distancing. If you have trouble finding a time to suit with your physio, please give us a call
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
