Post-Surgery Care Reminder!!
We know keeping your pet quiet after surgery can be tough, but it’s the best way to help them heal quickly and comfortably. 🖤 Their recovery relies on strict rest and limited movement—running, slipping, or jumping can damage the repair and slow healing.

✅ Place them in a crate or a small, secure room (like the laundry) with non-slip flooring and no furniture they can climb on.
✅ When they’re out for toileting or brief breaks, always keep them on a lead—a harness is ideal.

A little extra caution now leads to a smoother, safer recovery later. 💛

If having food on your nose is wrong, Dexter doesn’t want to be right 😋

Our second year of the amazing Street Tails event! 🐕🐈

What an incredible day — and what an amazing turnout!

A huge thank you to DCM Wellington once again for generously sharing their venue with us.

With the support of HUHANZ, we were able to offer a range of free services, including vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, general health checks, and desexing arrangements.

We also handed out food, treats, beds, toys, blankets, and jackets — all thanks to the incredible generosity of the businesses and organisations that supported us.

Together, we made a real difference for people and their beloved pets, who are truly part of their families.

A massive thank you to:

This weather has us wishing we were all snuggled up with a blanket like Nigel was after his TPLO surgery last month! 🥰🐕🌧

It’s that time of year when those tiny, harmless-looking grass seeds can cause BIG problems for our pups. 😟 They can get stuck in paws, ears, eyes, and even noses - leading to infections and serious vet visits.

💡 Check your dog after walks, especially in grassy or weedy areas. A few minutes of checking could save them a lot of pain!
