Wee Luna had her first visit today, and a busy day

Wee Luna had her first visit today, and a busy day of moving to a new home, meeting her new family (including big sister weimaraner Indie) and a visit to the vet all proved a little too much-apparently a nap was required!

Happy 1st birthday!! Today is a year since we open

Happy 1st birthday!! Today is a year since we opened Companion Vets-and what a year it's been!

We'd like to thank all of our amazingly supportive clients who have been there through this past year, and all the new ones who are still joining us everyday 💕

Although Covid might have derailed our celebration plans a little, here's to many more years of seeing all your lovely faces at the clinic!

And of course a big thank to our awesome team for making the clinic what it is we couldn't do it without you 😊

From the Partners at Companion Vets, Craig, Margie and Juliet

Freddie has been practicing his 🎅 costume for December and would like to know if you think he'd make a good Santa Clause?
(he'd also like you to know that his medication didn't taste very nice this morning thank you but he's glad he'll be feeling better soon!)

We know our fear free approach to our pets is working when the tail wagging starts kicking in.

Yay NZ we've reached 90% first and 80% second average vaccination rates across the country! C'mon Waikato just 1.5% to go for us to reach the first vax milestone and start to get back to a bit more normality...
Here at the clinic we've all had both our shots to keep both ourselves and our clients safe.

Wowza you guys have been keeping us busy the last few weeks! Thank you all for all your support over these strange lockdown times.

Zoe was in for a visit today and since mum couldn't be in to sit in the comfy chairs, thought she better try it out herself 😉💕

This is Khan. Last week he kept his owners up all

This is Khan. Last week he kept his owners up all night, managing to vomit more than 8x in the space of a few hours and being off his food- a very unusual situation for him! They bought him in to the clinic and because he was looking pretty unwell some xrays were done. We weren't entirely sure what he had eaten but we could see on xray that there were some patterns in his stomach (circled) and intestines (snakey bit!) that looked worrying. The most worrying was the part of his intestines that looked like it might have what is called plication- where the bowel concertinas up on itself like a curtain on a rail as a linear foreign body (a long string like something) moves through the gut. This can cause pretty major damage to the gut as it moves through and can even cut through the intestinal wall as the loops get tighter. Luckily, Khan's owner had bought him in pretty early and we were able to remove the foreign material (a blanket it turned out!) without too much damage to the bowel. Khan was in today for his recheck and is doing well and back to eating well again... Just hopefully not eating anymore blankets!

If puppy Delta is brave enough to get her vaccinat

If puppy Delta is brave enough to get her vaccination today shouldn't we all get our vaccination against Delta?
