Summer safety for our pets
January 19, 2024
With the arrival of long sunny days, it’s a good time to touch upon some points to help our 4-legged family members stay comfortable and safe this summer.
Unfortunately, we tend to see an increase in heat stroke cases over the summer months. There can be a few contributing factors but the main causes we see are pets being left in vehicles and pets exercising in the heat of the day. Heat stroke can progress very quickly and is, in some cases, fatal.
By following some simple guidelines, we can decrease our pets’ chances of overheating.
- NEVER leave your pet alone in a parked car, even if temperatures feel tolerable to you. Temperatures rise in parked cars incredibly quickly and our pets have minimal abilities to sweat and cool themselves down, resulting in increased panting and subsequently, overheating.
- Exercise pets in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler and if possible, stick to shaded areas.
- Always provide clean, fresh water both inside and outside and if possible, take water on walks.
- Provide access to as much shade as possible if dogs are outside – trees, kennels, garage, porch etc.
- Provision of a paddling pool. The clam shell pools are great, even for larger dogs that cannot lie in them. Dogs can cool down quickly via cooling their paws so many large dogs also enjoy simply standing in cold water.

“I have been having problems with my Labrador Archie’s ears since he was born 4 years ago and have been to numerous different vets and specialists. Since coming to the Matamata Vet Services small animals over a year ago, nothing has been a problem and the care and effort put into Archie has been amazing!! The communication from the staff and timely effort with appointments has been outstanding. Archie’s ears have improved significantly, and he is now a happy dog. Thank you for your amazing service and I highly recommend”.

Latest Facial Eczema Spore Count Results 30.4.21
April 30, 2021
Grass samples tested this week from the MVS Monitor Farms have shown the following:
- Hinuera Monitor Paddocks – 10,000 spores/gram
- Matamata Monitor Paddocks – 11,600 spores/gram
- Te Poi Monitor Paddocks – 1,600 spores/gram
- Tirau Monitor Paddocks – no samples tested this week
- Walton Monitor Paddocks – 21,600 spores/gram
This week we have seen spore counts continue to hold with some monitor farms showing moderate to low risk. If you do not have spore counts for your property we recommend that you continue to supplement stock with zinc.
Note that for spore multiplication to slow the temperature must remain under 12 degrees C for an extended period.
We anticipate these counts to continue to decline in the coming week as the cooler weather rolls in.
Remember that spore counts vary from farm to farm and the only way to know your risk to check your grass for spores.
REMINDER IF YOU BRING IN THREE GRASS SAMPLES FOR TESTING YOU CAN HAVE A FOURTH FREE!
