Supporting the health and performance of working dogs

Working Dog Vet Services in Hawkes Bay

Our Working Dog Performance Partnership is an umbrella programme that brings together a wide range of working dog focused services, initiative and education under one name.

 

Our Working Dog Performance Partnership recognises our farming clients with 25% off working dog fees*.

This partnership is designed to support your working dog team—and in turn, your farming business—through consistent, practical veterinary care delivered by a team who understands rural work and the importance of a high-performing dog team.

Our Working Dog Performance Partnership operates as an annual programme, allowing us to take a proactive approach to your dogs’ health, performance, and longevity.

Rather than a single vaccination run, the programme enables us to provide:

  • Targeted on-farm working dog health checks
    Comprehensive nose-to-tail examinations focused on common areas of concern, allowing early intervention and supporting longer working lives
  • Preventative and proactive health programmes
    Including monthly dosing for sheep measles, flea and tick prevention, and tailored worming schedules
  • Tailored, farm-specific advice
    Practical guidance on nutrition, environmental challenges, behaviour, and day-to-day management
  • Ongoing support as your dogs’ needs change
    From breeding and whelping advice, through to ensuring young dogs are set up for long-term work, and managing arthritis and care in their later years
  • Loyalty benefits through the programme
    Rewarding your commitment to proactive working dog care 

 

 

Built by our Working Dog Group for the Working Dog Community.

WOOF is run by a dedicated group of people who are deeply connected to working dogs. Our team includes:

  • Veterinary professionals with a strong interest in working dog medicine
  • Farmers and working dog owners
  • Members of Dog Trialling communities

This means decisions, programmes, and initiatives are shaped by real-world experience, not just theory. The team is constantly thinking about new ways to support working dogs and the people who rely on them every day.
