Lifestyle Farmers
The team at The Vet Clinic Wairarapa are committed to assisting with lifestyle farmers with preventative care to maximise their animal’s health and welfare. We offer a wide range of services, products and equipment to make your life on the farm more enjoyable.
Lifestyle block support
Overwhelmed or unsure where to start with animal health needs and husbandry on your lifestyle block? We are here to help!
We understand that lifestyle farming can be challenging and time consuming.
We are now offering tailored support for lifestylers from animal health plans through to technician visits to provide preventative care and husbandry, allowing you and your animals to enjoy the lifestyle you always dreamed of!
Animal Health Visit and Plan
An animal health plan helps guide you in the knowledge and timing of essential preventative care treatments that your animals require each year, allowing your animals to live their best and healthiest lives.
Our animal health package includes:
- A 1 hour farm visit with a vet and rural animal technician to meet your animals and give practical advice on preventative care to maximise animal health and welfare.
- Advice about husbandry facilities and equipment.
You will receive:
- A personalised animal health plan and calendar for all of the livestock on your property
- Text reminders for animal husbandry procedures year round
Our animal health plan will advise you when to vaccinate, drench, provide supplements, prepare animals for breeding and much more.
This is all included in a one-off cost of $250
Lifestyler Subscription Visits
Struggling to find time to perform the required preventative care treatments?
We are starting up a lifestyler subscription programme where our technicians will come out to your property up to 4 times per year to perform:
- Vaccinating
- Drenching
- Docking / castration
- Body condition scoring
- Lice and fly treatment
- Disbudding
- Feet trimming
The cost for subscription visits is individually worked out depending on the number of animals and range of species on your property as well as the treatments required. An initial $250 animal health plan visit is required to sign up for the subscription visits and you will receive $100 off your first visit.
Rattle your dags, ewe won’t regret it!
