❤️🩺🐈🐕🦺World Spey/Desexing Day February 23rd 2021 🐈🐕🦺🩺❤️
Annually the last Tuesday in February is internationally known as World Spey/Desexing Day. This initiative started back in 1995 in the USA and has since spread to 41 countries around the world.
❤️It is a day to highlight and promote the desexing of companion animals world wide.
We have many rescue centre’s throughout the Waikato and New Zealand that work tirelessly to help rescue, desex and rehome the many unwanted kittens and puppies born in New Zealand every year.🐈🐕🦺
We encourage and support the importance of desexing dogs and cats to help combat the overbreeding of unwanted animals, not only that but there are health benefits also:
•Risks of infections, cancer and other diseases of the reproductive organs in our precious pets are lowered.
•Improved life expectancy
•Eliminates unwanted behavior
Please help support these wonderful organizations. ❤️
If you require any further information on desexing or need to book your pet in, please give our team a call on 07 8492963, they will be happy to help you out!😀

Poll: Do you think an age check is required for these drinks?
Stores are checking IDs for fancy soft drinks and not everyone is happy about it.
One shopper, who asked not to be named, bought some zero alcohol branded drinks at his local supermarket and was asked to “step around into the thoroughfare so a supervisor could see me and make sure I was over 18. I couldn't believe it."
Do you think an age check is required for these drinks? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
