Highly recommended- compassionate and kind but also practical and pragmatic. Their priority seems to absolutely be what is best for the animal, not only what will most line their pockets (as was the case with a chain/corporate vet practice visited recently).

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr Eckhard and his team at Takanini Vets. He is truly one of a kind. Every visit reminds us why we travel from far just to see him! The care, compassion, patience, and genuine love he has for animals is unlike anything weβve ever experienced. Today was especially heartwarming. We went in to introduce our new fur baby, and to see if her nails could be trimmed (something that has been impossible anywhere else). Yet somehow, Dr Eckhard just speaks their language. Within seconds, she trusted him (and the wonderful nurse - who's name I can unfortunately not remember) completely. They managed to do what we thought was impossible. She unfortunately scratched his legs during the process, but he acted as if it didnβt matter at all, and our little one came out of there smiling, relaxed and happy! What touched us most was that, despite receiving sad news about one of his own animals, he still gave our girl 100% of his attention and kindness. That level of professionalism and heart is rare. And then the part that absolutely melted us: without looking at any system, he instantly remembered our elderly Jack Russell that he cared for so beautifully before he passed over a year ago. Out of the hundreds of dogs he treats every month, he still remembered our baby's name and said it with such affection. That meant the world to us. Dr Eckhard is not just a vet, he is someone who treats every animal as if they are his own. The drive to Takanini is worth it every single time. We will never trust anyone else with our dogs. If you are looking for a vet who is truly exceptional, look no further. We are beyond grateful for everything he has done for our little ones.

Our senior furbaby Bear became ill with cancer. We sought treatment for him and through considered and wonderful care, we had him for almost four more weeks. When the time came to let him go, the vet was very compassionate and caring. It is never easy to have to say goodbye, but the treatment Bear and we received made it more peaceful and less traumatic than I expected it to be. Even once he was gone, and I passed him back to the vet in his blanket, she gently cradled him like he was still with us. She treated us, and more importantly Bear, with the same dignity and compassion that she had when he was still with us. The same care and compassion was displayed by the person who gave me Bears ashes when I picked them up yesterday. I can't express how much I appreciate the staff here. I thoroughly recommend bringing your furbabies here for whatever treatment they need.

Always take my cat and dog here . Staff have a genuine love and care for animals. When my cat has unfortunately been attacked (twice now) they have booked her in straight away and shown care to both the physical and overall wellbeing of her. Thanks to the team for all the work they do .

An emergency early hours visit, cared for and dealt with professionally and courteously. The practice is always very clean and freshly maintained with ample seating, and good car parking facilities. The staff as always very clear in explaining procedures before, and gave concise instructions for home care to ensure best recovery. Thank you

We love Veterinary Associates Takanini. I take my French bulldog to them and their advice is great and you can always get an appointment easily. My boy has had a few surgeries and there are never unplanned surprises and theyβre always transparent about cost and procedure. Their wait times can be like the doctors because theyβre busy & a lot of people go to them!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Veterinary Associates Takanini with my furry friend, and I must say that the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Located at 30 Walters Road, Takanini, Auckland, this veterinary clinic is easily accessible and convenient to reach. Their opening hours are from 8 am to 7 pm on weekdays and from 9 am to 5 pm on weekends, which is a huge plus for those of us with busy schedules. Upon arrival, I was impressed by the ample parking available, which is always a plus when visiting any medical facility. The clinic itself is clean, modern, and welcoming, with a warm and friendly atmosphere that put both me and my dog at ease. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive, and they made my dog feel welcome from the moment we walked through the door. One of the things that stood out to me was the level of care and attention that the staff gave to my dog. They took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all of my questions with patience and expertise. They also provided me with detailed information about the treatment options available, which helped me to make an informed decision about my dog's care. The veterinary services provided by Veterinary Associates Takanini are top-notch. The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, which allows the staff to provide a full range of services, including vaccinations, dental care, surgery, and more. I was particularly impressed by the speed and efficiency of the clinic's services, which allowed us to get in and out quickly without sacrificing quality of care. The staff at Veterinary Associates Takanini are not only knowledgeable and professional, but also friendly, compassionate, and kind. They genuinely care about the welfare of their patients and go above and beyond to ensure that they receive the best possible care. This is evident in the way they interact with both pets and their owners, making sure that everyone feels comfortable and cared for. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Veterinary Associates Takanini highly enough. From the convenient location and opening hours to the friendly and professional staff, this veterinary clinic is a cut above the rest. The level of care and attention provided to patients is exceptional, and I know that I can trust them to provide the best possible care for my furry friend. If you're looking for a veterinary clinic that offers great service, friendly staff, quick and professional treatment, and a welcoming environment, then look no further than Veterinary Associates Takanini.

Our go to vet for many years. We first started with them when they opened but moved briefly to another when we had a discount for spaying our cats; when our vet following that started misdiagnosing our cat and dog we moved back to Vet Associates and haven't looked back. They were accommodating when our dog was put down to allowing someone in to do paw castings and to changing crematorium. Even sent photos of our stolen dog as a pup during her visits when I was at work.

Omigosh, these guys !! Truly the best. In August this year, my small dog Romeo was attacked by an unrestrained pit bull dog. We initially took him to VSA Sylvia Park as it was after hours. Our customer experience with them was not good (google review posted). After 10 days we transferred to our GP Veterinary Associates Takanini. Dr Eckhard and the team received him (and me) with such gentle compassion, kindness along with Dr Eckhards superb surgical skills - for the remainder of his recovery. We cannot speak more highly of them. If you are considering veterinary treatment for your pet - this team will not let you down. THANK YOU SO MUCH Vet Associates Takanini!! You helped healed my Romeo's horrific wounds and his mama's heart !! There is a reason why Vet Associates Takanini have so many positive Google reviews - and this is why. 10/10!!
