Ridge Runners Sled Dog Racing Club

No only is the team coming to you, they are one of the best vets for working dogs you could ask for. 🥰

The Only Vet Team in Manawatu Who Comes to You!
Most mobile vets can’t safely do anaesthetic procedures. Most clinics can’t come to your home. We do both — so your pet gets the right care in the right place, without switching vets.

13 years serving Manawatu families, since 2013.
A steady, experienced hand. The newest clinical training. One team, wherever your pet needs us.

Hi all - This Sunday - 1st November 2026 - Fur Flyers will have a gazebo spot at the BARKFEST Dog Day out promoting just how much fun we can have with our dogs in Cani X, Bikejor and Scooter. Feel free to come on over to the gazebo anbd see the gear that is used and have a chat to whoever is there at the time.
Everyone and dogs who went to the RR first Canicross Manawatu River Run had a great time - just a reminder of how good it is to be with other like minded people. - Loved the video of the finish line.

Hi everyone,
looks like we are having a cold snap coming through and Saturday temps looks fabulous. Let's get all together for a final Season club training before Spring well and truly settles in.
Afterwards, we collect all signs for cleanup :-)
For those who may come for the first time after our Canicross event, we have fabulous running trails from 1-2km, 5km, 7.5km, and 10km.

It has been an absolutely fabulous inaugural RRSDRC Manawatu River Run Canicross event.
Thanks again to all volunteers to make this happen and our fantastic vet Kelly from Peaceful Pets Ltd.
The event could not have happened without out human and dog athletes - huge congratulations to everyone, especially those that drove in from further away!
We received so much positive feedback - thank you, you are amazing!
Certainly will look at making this a regular event - maybe Spring and Autumn? If you have any ideas, let us now!

And now...lots and lots of pictures of our Canicross athletes during the run :-)
