Whangaparaoa Veterinary Centre awarded 'best practice' accreditation
The New Zealand Veterinary Association’s BEST PRACTICE accreditation programme was set up to promote and maintain the highest standards of veterinary practice in New Zealand. To celebrate our accreditation, over the coming week all patients will be getting a little present when they come in, even if it is just to say hello. For any queries or appointments ring us on (09) 424 7752.
BEST PRACTICE is currently a voluntary programme, so you know when you choose an accredited clinic, your veterinarians stand by their excellence, because they volunteer to undergo an extensive 4-5 hour audit every two years. Whangaparaoa Veterinary Centre just had their audit last week, passing with flying colours, and are currently the only practice on the Shore with accreditation.
Whangaparaoa Veterinary Centre is located in the Centre of Whangaparaoa, opposite the Plaza, next to the Police Station. With 4 Veterinarians, (Dr Shanti Scott BVSc, Dr Emma Gerber BVSc, Dr Monique Veen DVM, Dr Erin Cassie BVSc) and 7 experienced, qualified Veterinary Nurses, there are always plenty of staff members to see to all the patients coming into the clinic.
All of our staff are very excited about the recognition by the New Zealand Veterinary Association of their continuous superb level of professionalism, care and service to our furry animals on the Hibiscus Coast.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
