Pet pharmacy in Auckland

“Our little cat Pipi has been into Whangaparoa vets 5 times now for eating cutty grass and every time the team has been warm and welcoming, they even nick named her "The Lawnmower"”

“My two years old male cat has been diagnosed and treated in ARC vets Shore for a urinary obstruction. I had already received injections and medication from the local vet, but it didn't get better for 4 days and got worse, so I ended up coming to the ARC over the weekend. He was hospitalized for a day and returned safely to our family today. I'm grateful to the kind vet, Jess, for her prompt and clear treatment and explanations. My cat can now urinate and I can immediately tell that he is doing much better than yesterday. Of course, I had to pay not kind medical expenses, but this opportunity gave me the opportunity to learn about various diseases that frequently occur in male cats. I highly recommend ARC vets Shore.”

“Great store they have all your needs. Friendly service”

“As a loyal customer, I consistently find Petstock's online service to be exceptional, especially their Click & Collect option. The speed of service is truly commendable, with "ready for pick-up" emails often arriving within minutes of placing an order, perfect for urgent needs. What truly sets them apart is their accurate, real-time stock checker online, allowing me to see exactly what's available in-store before I buy, saving valuable time. Their communication throughout the process is excellent, with clear and timely email updates at every stage. Product descriptions are comprehensive, aiding informed decisions, and the Petstock Rewards program genuinely benefits loyal customers. Overall, Petstock's online platform, particularly their Click & Collect service, provides an efficient, and highly reliable experience that always exceeds expectations.”

“Great stuff, always friendly and helpful. Great stock”

“I bought 2 cute little fish from here. Good deal. And I bought some treats for my cats. Heaps of selection of aquarium fish and pet foods. Heaps of stuff special. Customer service was very nice. The guy explained to me how to look after my fish's and fish tank. We will be back.”

“The man who groomed our dog did an excellent job, probably the best we've ever had for a brush out of our long haired double coated samoyed. Something to note though is that he initially asked if we wanted her trimmed down to a poodle style cut. This indicated that he had no samoyed experience and you would never trim their coat - possibly just hygiene areas. We made sure it was clear no scissor or trimming allowed. We were very worried leaving our girl but the end result was excellent. We will definitely go back again for a wash and brush out. No knots in sight. She also smelled wonderful.”

“Friendly staff that are always very helpful, even when they haven't had what I need they generally have a good recommendation for an alternative”

“Mariam is one of the best doctors!. My cat healed up in 2 days. I highly recommend you all to bring your pets to come see Mariam. 100/100 will only be visiting this hospital for my pets.”

“Dr Jack Roche gave me and my little dog Pickle the greatest friendly care and respect. She had a very bad ear infection and allergy issues. He gave detailed information, gave options and treated both my son and I and dog sensitively and professionally and had a lot of knowledge to share and patience. Thank you very much.”

“We love Bruce and the nurses at North Harbour vet!!! Caring, understanding, experienced and professional staff who are willing to help you out and provide the best service for your animal friend :)”

“When we first adopted our dachshunds over a decade ago a friend suggested we look up the Vets on Manukau Road, and I've never looked back. When our fur babies crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago, Russell and his team were there to help us through it and even took time on the weekend to ensure that our Rindy had a gentle passing. They are the best vet team ever!”

“I have brought a stray cat to Town and Country to get some vet care recently. Sophie, the vet nurse, was very helpful from the beginning when I called to make an appointment, to help contact the original owner and follow through. It’s a long story but I really appreciate Sophie’s help and time. She has demonstrated how much they care about animals from these small details. I would say this level of care is hardly found in other clinics. Thank you again.”

“Excellent service, good prices, range of stock and helpful staff”

“Always great customer service from the team. Live their product knowledge and advice.”

“Lovely young person helping me select treat for my tiny lil boy (which he's loving & chewing daily) Also she gave valuable advice for a novice fur mum. We'll be back for more ☺️”

“Shout out to the amazing vet Saffron ( hopefully I’m spelling her name correct ) Who came out yesterday to my lamb who had been attacked by a dog. Not only was she careful and very thorough but she was kind, funny and caring. She was realistic with us and did the very best she could. If I could recommend anyone it would be her. I really hope this is passed on to her as we want her to know how grateful we are for everything she did for us.”

“Some awesome, and very easy to use pet cleaning stations! My Golden Retriever is extremely anxious in most public situations but after a few minutes in the warm water alongside a shampoo and conditioner rinse, she had calmed down. My only criticism is that the doggy hair dryers aren't world class, but still do the job!”

“Really good with exotic birds my two African grays have been there for 5 years now polite and experienced staff”

“They have got such a big selection, I am an almost exclusive customer of theirs, they have got almost everything, and if they don't have something they are always happy to talk about getting it in truly ASAP. The store is great. They are great, I have been a regular "pet.co.nz" customer since 2018, and they were great, but since they have merged with Petstock the service has been even better, from replacing faulty items right away, to amazingly fast shipping! I was blown away my last purchase, I live in a rural area, and usually would get my order 3 days later at best, which is understandable, but this time I ordered my large breed puppy's special food like usual, in the afternoon, and the next early morning it was here!! Truly amazing!”

“I stopped by this pet store recently because I’m wanting to start a tank and needed some advice and I’m so glad I did. A young woman working there (blonde, glasses) helped me out, and she was absolutely amazing. She really knew what she was talking about when it came to fish care, water treatments, and what species work well together. I had so many questions, and she was super patient and explained everything in a way that made sense. She even helped me pick out the right food and showed me which filters would work best for my setup. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals and wants people to succeed, not just sell products. I left feeling way more confident and excited about getting my tank started.”

“Went in to Kiwi Chemist Avondale today to purchase a hot water bottle. Very polite and professional service and extremely reasonable price for what appears to be an excellent quality product.”

“Very friendly staffs. We are enjoying this shop where we live close by. They got veriety products and theme items for our cat.”

“Helpful staff, cheap prescriptions, a good range of products for such a small local pharmacy. Very convenient to the glenavon doctor clinic. Usually easy to get a park outside.”

“I had my first visit with my pet and wasn’t sure about the process, but Ashlee was fantastic. She explained everything clearly and was incredibly friendly and helpful. Great experience overall!”

“Awesome staff here! Was looking for a specific type and color of a betta fish, called in, got a clear description of the ones in stock at the store and came to pick one up same day. Healthy and beautiful! Thanks so much :)”

“Always good produce and meat. Friendly staff. Nicely designed store and well thought out positioning.”

“Hailey has incredible customer service skills and she is highly knowledgeable with products. Bing Bing is so patient, informative and helpful! The store itself is always tidy, uncluttered and always a pleasant atmosphere.”

“Pak’nSave Westgate is a newer and tidier branch that still sticks to the chain’s signature no-frills vibe. It’s built for budget shoppers, but it feels a bit more modern compared to some of the older locations. If you’re in the West Auckland area, it’s one of the better options when it comes to balancing affordability with a clean, roomy shopping experience. The store is spacious, well laid out, and usually well-stocked. Aisles are wide, which helps with the flow of foot traffic even during peak hours. It’s still a very practical setup — shelves packed high, lots of bulk products, and nothing fancy in terms of presentation — but everything’s easy to find. Prices are, as always with Pak’nSave, the main draw. You can save quite a bit here, especially on pantry staples, meat, and cleaning products. The produce section is usually decent, with a good range of fruit and veg, though the freshness can still vary day to day. The meat section offers plenty of variety at a decent price point, and the bakery’s got all the basics — bread, rolls, and the usual treats. Staff are generally helpful if you approach them, though it’s still a self-service kind of environment. Don’t expect heaps of interaction, but they’ll assist you if you ask. The checkout area is usually well-staffed, and self-service options are available for smaller shops. Queues move fairly quickly even when it’s busy. Parking is pretty good at Westgate. There’s plenty of space, and it’s easy to get in and out of the carpark compared to other branches. Being part of a large shopping complex also means you can tick off other errands while you’re in the area. Just like other Pak’nSaves, you might find some differences between what’s online and what’s actually in store, so it’s best to shop with a bit of flexibility. Overall, Pak’nSave Westgate is a strong performer. It’s clean, spacious, and reliable for those who want to get a big shop done without overspending. It’s still a no-frills setup, but it feels a little more polished than the older branches, which makes for a smoother experience all round.”
