💬 How much would you pay for a good bit of advice?
Here at The Vet Clinic, we reckon information sharing shouldn’t cost a thing! 🐮🐑🐕
This post isn’t about pointing fingers — it’s about learning from mistakes and helping others avoid the same ones. Sometimes the fix is simple, but the lesson can save a lot of stress (and money!) down the track.
📖 Let’s be honest — reading drench labels isn’t the most exciting job!
One of our clients recently used the blue drench (pictures below) and thought it hadn’t worked, so they grabbed the orange drench and had another go.
Unfortunately, what they didn’t realise was that the orange drench was actually the same product, just without the “itape” component. 😬
It’s an easy mistake to make — drench names and chemical makeup can be confusing! That’s why it’s so important to read the label carefully and check with us if you’re unsure.
The print’s tiny, it can take ages, and it’s easy to skim over... but it’s absolutely essential to avoid costly — and sometimes deadly — mistakes. ⚠️
We’re always happy to help — give us a call or pop in for a chat any time. 💬

🌱🐄 What are our beef farmers in New Zealand are up to this November 🐄🌱

As spring transitions into early summer, beef farmers across Aotearoa are full on busy gearing up and managing the next phase of the season. Here’s a peek into what’s happening on the ground:

✅ Pasture growth & feed management
With increasing daylight and warmer temperatures, pasture growth is kicking in. Farmers are monitoring pasture quality and making decisions about how stock should be rotated, fed, and managed to take advantage of the growing season.
They’re also planning ahead for feed requirements, especially on hill country farms or where feed demand is higher.

✅ Business review & planning for the year ahead
With strong global demand for grass-fed beef and a favourable export backdrop, many beef and sheep-beef farmers are reviewing their business performance, bench marking, networking and looking at opportunities for growth or diversification.

✅ Events & community engagement
Farmers are attending field days, industry meetings and open days to see what’s on offer in terms of pasture management, diversification (sheep-beef-deer combinations), and new practices. For example, there are open days in November aimed at showcasing research and farm system innovation.

💬 So when you’re enjoying that grass-fed beef, know this:
It’s not just about the animal—it’s about the pasture, the soil, the water, the business, the timing. These farmers are working through a key period where good decisions set the tone for the year ahead.
Let’s give them some kudos for their hard mahi and sustainable practices!

📚 “Knowledge is when you learn something new every day.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today’s fact: from 1849 to 1993, sheep dipping was actually a legal requirement in New Zealand! 😮

The main chemicals used back then were arsenic and organochlorine, and it’s estimated there are now around 50,000 former sheep dip sites across the country — many with lingering soil and water contamination.

Thankfully, today’s companies and farmers are much more aware of the environmental impacts of dipping and jetting treatments, and use much safer, more sustainable options. 🌿🐑

👉 Here at The Vet Clinic, we stock a range of products for all your dipping, jetting, and pour-on needs.
Give us a call or pop in for your supplies — or a quick chat if you’ve got any questions. We’re always happy to help! 👩‍⚕️🐾

💬 Don’t wait until the next drenching day — stop by The Vet Clinic today and make sure you’re fully stocked and ready to go!

🐾 Keep Your Working Dogs Safe This Summer ☀️

Summer brings heavy workloads — and high energy demands for farm dogs.
👉 Feed a high-fat, high-protein diet to support endurance and reduce injuries.

💧 Hydration is critical
Hard-working dogs can lose over 40% of their body water daily.

Huntaways may need 2.5L+

Heading dogs around 1.5L+

🛑 Watch for early heat stress:

Slower to return, ignoring commands

Lying down, seeking shade

Panting, drooling, vomiting, disoriented

🚨 If you suspect heat stroke:

Move to shade

Wet with cool (not icy) water

Use wet towels, remove for airflow

Call your vet ASAP

Never fully submerge or use ice

✅ Prevention tips:

Offer water regularly (day & night)

Avoid the hottest part of the day

Keep coats clean and knot-free

Stay on top of flea/worm treatments

Never leave dogs in vehicles

Look after your team — they give it their all. 🐶💪

Guy Fawkes night is sneaking up on us again! 🎆 The best way to keep everyone safe and stress-free is to start preparing early, giving our stock plenty of time to adjust to any preventative measures we put in place. 🔥🐾
Farmers can take several steps to protect their animals by securing stock, minimizing noise and light, and having a chat with neighbours about firework displays they may be planning.

Here's some tips for horses and livestock 🐄🐑🐎
📎Create a secure area. Move horses and other livestock to a smaller, secure paddock or stable, well away from where fireworks may be set off. Double-check that all gates and fences are latched and secure to prevent panicked animals from escaping and potentially running into traffic.
📎Mask the noise. Play a radio or calming music in barns and stables to help muffle the sound of loud bangs. Introducing this noise in the days leading up to Guy Fawkes can help animals get used to it.
📎Maintain routine. Keep your animals' routine as normal as possible, as predictability is reassuring for them.
📎Check on them regularly. During the firework display, check on your animals frequently. If an animal is distressed, approach it with caution, as frightened animals can be unpredictable.
📎Clear paddocks. After the fireworks have ended, thoroughly check paddocks for debris that could be dangerous if ingested by animals.

For smaller farm animals and poultry 🐇🐥
📎Move enclosures indoors. Move hutches, cages, and enclosures for smaller animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and chickens into a shed, garage, or quiet indoor room to reduce exposure to noise and light.
📎Provide extra bedding. Give small animals extra bedding to burrow into, which helps them feel safe and secure.
📎Cover enclosures. If moving the hutch indoors isn't possible, turn it to face a wall or fence. Then, cover it with thick blankets to block out flashes and muffle sound, ensuring there is still plenty of ventilation.
