Veterinary care in Auckland

“Recently returned to the District, from Torbay. My little mate dog Finnegan became very unwell. Vet Centre Ruakaka was fully booked but arranged for a consult at Waipu. Vet Pip was awesome, as is, the whole experience. A quiet weekend and with me administering prescribed meds in conjunction with prime beef mince, Finnegan improved markedly. Follow up at Ruakaka confirmed treatment a success. Thanks Team Waipu. Highly Recommended.”

“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.”

“Our Jack Russell Toby loves this place. We have been using them for 5 years now. The staff here is just amazing. Communication is always very clear. They answer my calls and emails in couple of hours no matter week day or weekend. Very happy with Bark Avenue, thank guys for everything. ❤️”

“100% my luckiest find. I simply will not use another care-giver for my dog. Professional, friendly, genuine, dog-loving staff. Nothing is too much trouble.”

“Great vets and super helpful staff”

“I love this vet clinic. I have taken Pickle to see Chris, KV and a few temps and all the vets have been fantastic. Very caring, give honest advice and don't overcharge. Rachael and the nurses are also very lovely to deal with. I highly recommend.”

“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”

“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!”

“We have been using Pet Doctors Howick for a number of years.Our cat Eddie is a bit of street fighter and has always been fixed up by the team with lots of care and attention. A cheerful and very patient bunch of people.”

“My dog Kobe loves going to Brookby Lodge to hang out with his friends. Always send him for day care and boarding whenever we go overseas. Happy boy when dropping and picking him up. Woof woof”

“Excellent consult with my elderly cat who wasn't eating and had been vomiting for a few days. Jess, locum vet, listened to me and we discussed various measures we could take. Felt supported. Meds and fluids given. Meds for home use as well. We will go back for a review in several days. End of life options also discussed. Very happy to have been able to talk things thru.”

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

“Nice place and easy to get to from the motorway if your heading south but a bit tricky to get to if your heading north. We decided to try this pet motel as our usual pet motel was full and it ended up being cheaper. The owners are lovely people and they know what they are doing. However one downside is if your dropping of a dog and a cat you have to go to different entrances. However they also don't have eftpos but they will take cash or give you a bank transfer slip. Will happily use them again.”

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

“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!”

“Our girl loves coming here. The cattery is well set up, light, good airflow, never too crowded and just feels good. We've put our girl through a few catteries and this one is the o ly one she's really been settled, and happy in. Kelly and her team are fantastic!”

“I have had 2 positive experiences at Pet Doctors with Linda. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout Draco’s consult for his recurring skin allergies. Not only was she thorough in examining him and explaining possible causes and treatments, but she also made sure to check in with me, answering all my questions clearly and patiently. It’s wonderful to have a vet who combines expertise with genuine kindness. Highly recommend Linda and the Pet Doctors team!”

“I can’t recommend this daycare enough! I send my puppy to daycare once a week, and she is so excited to go that she pulls me to reception in the mornings and when I pick her up she tears around the corner with a big smile on her face like she’s had the best day ever! I’ve also noticed a number of times she’s tried to shower members of the team in kisses which she only does when she really loves someone ❤️ Katy has always been so flexible like the time I showed up when daycare was closed for Christmas and she still took Lulu for the day or the 6mths that she kept Lulu’s space while I recovered from a head injury. And I love when I get updates at pickup about the friends she played with that day! It is so obvious through Lulu’s excitement, how well she’s taken care of and how much she loves her daycare. As Lulu’s mum it’s really nice for me to know she’s having the time of her life when I’m at work so thank you so much Katy and team!”

“Can't recommend Critter Creek enough. They are so good with our blue heeler and understand her 'ball possessiveness' and other foibles. We always know we are leaving her in safe, true animal loving hands :)”

“We've had the absolute best experience with VSA. Had to bring in our dog twice for a suspected slipped disc, and ended up leaving him there the second time for IV fluids. He had a CT scan first thing in the morning; unfortunately he needed two spinal surgeries so he had to wait until the day after for proper planning, otherwise it would have been done straight after CT Scan while still under anaesthesia. We live far away so couldn't come for the scan results, but the surgeon took the time to show us the scans via a video call and made sure we understood what was happening and what needed to be done. They sent us frequent updates and were always highly professional. The surgery went extremely well and we were able to visit him the day after surgery. Thanks to their great care and our boys bravery and resilience, we were able to take our baby home just three days later. That whole event was really scary and exhausting for us, but we felt very supported and can honestly highly recommend them. 2x emergency visits, 4 nights stay, CT Scan, double surgery and meds was around 12k in total which is a lot, but we knew he had the highest quality care and that is definitely worth it for us. A huge thank you to the entire team who helped us - and most importantly, our good boy - get through this.”

“I had a really great experience with the 2 lovely staff members yesterday. Both were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable in helping me choose the right products for my puppy. They went above and beyond and I'd definitely pop back in to that store when I'm in the area again.”

“I had two rabbits and now I have one left. Dr. Kenzie is one of the best doctors. Melow and I are so happy to have you with us.”

“Took my Puppy here for her haircut last week and it was the best she's had yet, we will definitely become regulars here. They asked me exactly how I wanted her to look, and they made sure that she had the best experience ever. Being a puppy she's very social and active but she came out looking absolutely amazing and I couldn't have wished for a better job. Amazing team and fabulous groomers in a wonderful space with plenty of parking for a quick dash in and out.”

“Fantastic vets. They were able to get me in at short notice and the whole team were wonderful. Just a great experience all round. Thanks you!”

“Long time client of Cathy and Phil and no hesitation in singing their praises. Professional, compassionate and caring for my late German Shepherd and now, my Bichon/Toy Poodle X. Highly recommended.”

“I took my dog to have his surgery (neutered) here. Good communication throughout the process. The clinic was easy to find and have many parking spaces. Recommend!”
