❤️🩺🐈🐕🦺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!😀

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 ❤️
