Raising Adolescent Dogs
Raising your dog through adolescence can be a challenging period in your relationship. Don’t worry, we’ve all been through it and know the frustrations of dealing with ‘teenagers.’ This opinion piece article is meant to lend a sympathetic ear to those going through this stage with their pup and has a few tips on making the adolescent journey a little easier.
Nutrition for Dogs
A key element for helping our pets live long, active and healthy lives is to provide them with a nutritionally complete and balanced diet. So, what exactly is a nutritionally balanced diet?
Behaviour
Behavioural problems can be due to behavioural causes, medical causes, or both. Our veterinarians will investigate behavioural problems by obtaining a full history and conducting a full examination to accurately diagnose a problem.
Nail Clipping
Regular nail clipping, or trimming, should be part of the routine care of your pet. It is essential for elderly and indoor pets, whereas outdoor pets may wear their nails down naturally.
Dog Care
Owning a dog provides companionship, loyalty and affection for people of all ages and is an invaluable addition to families and individuals. However, it is important to find the breed of dog most suitable to your particular lifestyle and be aware of the responsibility that comes with dog ownership before you adopt or purchase a dog.
Boarding Advice
An ideal boarding facility for your pet has a relaxed, calm atmosphere, created by having fewer kennels/animals, a design that minimises stress and allows maintenance of a high standard of hygiene.
Pet Insurance
Pet insurance is becoming more and more popular in New Zealand. It offers you peace of mind as it covers some or all of the treatment costs if your pet was ever involved in an accident or suffers a sudden illness.
