My Prospa Local Business Hero nomination
Te Aroha Veterinary Clinic provide a fantastic service from a team that are dedicated to caring and helping to care for animals both big and small. Just after Christmas one of my mares that had a foal at foot suddenly became seriously ill , vet came asap and treated her and told me to ring back if Blue didn't improve within a few hours . I had to call the vet back at 9.30 pm as Blue hadn't improved ,without hesitation vet came back and we moved Blue and foal into the stable so we could treat her ,vet did everything she could to save her , she even rigged up a drip and stayed for 5 hours monitoring the drip and medicating her ,sadly at 3.30 am Blue passed inspite of everything possible being done for her . I was devastated loosing Blue I bred her 14 yrs ago and loved her dearly and now I had her orphan foal to care for, vet was very supportive and without her dedication staying for hours trying to save Blue I honestly don't know how I would have coped. Te Aroha Veterinary Clinic are a true asset to our community they go above and beyond the call of duty helping to care for our all animals providing around the clock care and service

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
