🐕🦺🦷Pippa’s Dental 🦷🐕🦺
Meet Pippa, she came in to us for a dental, not because she required one but as a preventative measure.❤️
X-ray’s were taken to ensure nothing was going on underneath the surface, revealing everything was healthy. Her teeth were then scaled and polished and as you can see it made quite a difference.
Not all cats and dogs are so lucky, it’s estimated that without proper dental care 80% of dogs will show signs of oral disease by the age of three.🐕🐈⬛
❤️Providing a good diet - a dry dental food is best as it helps scrape the plaque off the teeth when eaten.
❤️Brushing your pets teeth - check out the oral hygiene kits we have in the clinic, with poultry flavoured toothpaste!
❤️Dental Chews - like Veggiedent can help to control tartar and freshen breath.
Get your pets teeth checked at their next visit or call our reception team to book in for an oral health check up on 07 8492963.Remember prevention is better than cure.🙂
❤️“Your Pet Will Thank You For It!”❤️

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.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
Share your Christmas mishaps below!
⚠️ 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 ❤️
