What does your pet mean to you?

December 5, 2025

It’s been a tough year but a couple of gnarly questions remain unanswered for NZNO members: What is the best pet for the modern health professional? And do you own it?

Kaitiaki is asking proud pet-owning members to send through photos of their beloved pet, with a few words about what makes them special. Maybe it’s a pooch that went out on the picket line this year. Maybe it’s a stay-at-home turtle. We’d love to publish our members’ pets and share their photos.

If you want to share a pic and some words about your animal friend then email us at [email protected]. Be sure to include your name and what kind of work you do. Pictured are some NZNO pets, asking for your help with this summer feature. Don’t break their hearts…
