Lifestyle

OUR APPROACH

You may have a herd or flock of 1, but that doesn’t stop us providing the same level of care to our lifestyle clients as to our commercial farmers. 

Along with providing exceptional care for sick animals, we can work with you to form preventative care programmes so your animals remain fit and healthy. We’re also here for you if need advice on rearing “best in show” calf club pets, dealing with your first calving, sick chook or designing a set of yards. 

Our large animal vets have a passion for all species - whether they be bovine, ovine, avian, caprine, camelid or porcine - and can come out to your small block or meet you in the clinic.

Farm and Working Dogs
Farm dogs are just as much a member of your staff as your workers. They can be a critical part of a smooth operation and need to be in tip-top condition for as long as possible. 

We’ve been working with farm dogs for as long as we’ve been with you and your stock, building up experience in preventative healthcare and nutrition, as well as how to combat common injuries and health conditions such as osteoarthritis

We also offer a worming programme, sending worm tablets directly to your letterbox every 3 months, ensuring your loyal workers stay intestinal worm free.
