As New Zealand transitions from spring to summer, warmer weather brings joy to pets and owners alike — but it also means an increase in fleas, ticks, and allergies. These pests thrive in humid conditions, making spring to summer pet care more important than ever.
At The Vet Clinic, we believe prevention is the best form of protection. Our team provides complete pet wellness checks, flea and tick prevention, and personalised care plans to keep pets healthy through the warmer months. Whether you visit our clinics, we’ll guide you on how to protect your pets from parasites, heat, and seasonal allergies.
This blog shares essential summer pet care tips, allergy advice, and grooming recommendations to help your furry friends stay comfortable, cool, and safe all season long.
Spring and summer bring longer days and more outdoor adventures, but also common health challenges for pets. Fleas, ticks, and mites become more active, often leading to itchy skin, infections, and allergic reactions.
Regular vet check-ups for pets are key to spotting these problems early. During your visit, our vets may recommend flea treatment for dogs or tick prevention for cats, depending on your pet’s exposure and coat type. Allergies are another growing concern, many pets develop reactions to pollen, grass, and insect bites. If your pet shows signs of scratching, hair loss, or red skin, talk to our team about pet allergy care Manurewa to relieve discomfort.
If you notice scratching, hair loss, or skin redness, consult us for professional pet allergy care to ease irritation and prevent infection. With consistent grooming, hydration, and preventive care, you can ensure your pet enjoys the best of summer — safely and happily.
Fleas and ticks thrive in warm weather, making prevention a year-round responsibility. Left untreated, they can cause severe skin irritation and transmit dangerous infections. At The Vet Clinic, we recommend ongoing flea and tick prevention using vet-approved products that protect both dogs and cats safely.

Heat stress is one of the biggest dangers during the summer months. Always provide fresh water, shaded spaces, and avoid walking your pet during peak midday heat.
Grooming also plays an important role — summer pet grooming helps remove loose fur, allowing better air circulation and temperature control. Our vets often include grooming tips as part of each pet wellness check, helping pet owners maintain coat health at home.
