Veterinary pharmacy in Auckland

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

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

“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 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.”

“Excellent care for very reasonable cost!”

“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.”

“Woolworths Waiata Shores in Takanini is one of the most impressive and forward-thinking supermarkets in South Auckland. It’s not just a place to shop—it’s part of a larger, eco-conscious development that blends sustainability with everyday convenience. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice how clean, tidy, and well-organized the store is. The wide aisles, modern fixtures, and inviting layout make for a calm and enjoyable shopping experience. Shoppers often praise the helpful and friendly staff, as well as thoughtful touches like kid-sized trolleys, which make it easier for families to bring their little ones along. What really sets this Woolworths apart, however, is its commitment to sustainability. It holds the distinction of being Auckland’s first supermarket to receive Green Star accreditation, which reflects its environmentally responsible design. The building is fitted with solar panels that generate a portion of its power, along with advanced refrigeration systems that use natural refrigerants. Energy-saving LED lights, water-efficient taps, and even digital shelf labels all contribute to a greener operation. The store also offers EV charging stations and bike parking, making it easier for customers to choose sustainable transport options. In terms of product range, the store has everything you’d expect and more—from fresh produce and a well-stocked bakery to an in-store pharmacy and online order pickup services. It’s strategically located at the entrance of the Waiata Shores development, which is a thoughtfully planned community with parks, walkways, and cafes, creating a welcoming neighborhood hub for locals. Overall, Woolworths Waiata Shores is a great example of how supermarkets can combine excellent service, cleanliness, and convenience with serious environmental efforts. Whether you’re doing your weekly grocery run or picking up a few essentials, this store makes the experience smooth, pleasant, and sustainable.”

“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 love getting a reminder via email and text that my fur baby is due for his yearly vaccines! Booking an appointment online is super easy, done in 1 minute tops. Once I got in the lovely ladies greeted me and I was seen very quickly. They listened to the concern I had with a bump on Alfies skin and took a look at it for me and gave me advice. Did the vaccine and I was good to go. My dog was very at ease in the patient room. Kumeu isn't local for us, but it is worth the drive for this kind of care.”

“Woolworths always delivers! The store is consistently clean, well-stocked, and easy to navigate. It makes the weekly shop feel just that bit more pleasant. Friendly staff and fresh produce—can’t ask for more!”

“Everything you need at Woolworths, handy to stop in when ya forget your toothbrush when travelling!”

“Good place to shop. Good range of items . Friendly staff nice wide aisles. No lotto.”

“Countdown is great for its wide, clutter free isles, the comprehensive refrigerated fruit and vegetable selection, and the extensive range of products in every department. I especially appreciate being able to buy pin-boned salmon fillets.”

“Best countdown ive been too! Always clean and filled with many different varieties of groceries no matter what time you go. I love that theyre open till 11pm, me and my husband love going for a midnight munchies run.”

“My favorite Woolworths in the west. Not too big but still carries a great range. Love that the store is always fully stocked in the morning including the bakery. Staff are friendly and helpful and parking is never an issue”

“Very big super store, you can buy things here easily, very well organized.”

“I love popping in to the Countdown after work. So convenient, well stocked with all our grocery needs. I have 3 sons living at home and my hubby so I'm always topping up on meat here. The meat is pretty affordable. We grab a big bag of sausages that splits into 2 meals for us. Chicken tenders, fish, chicken nuggets and chips, burgers, pizza, dumplings, spaghetti bolognaise or lasagna are all on our menu and easily available here.”

“Nice modern Countown store with clean and well maintained facilities. Easy access from two roads to the large carpark. Do note that shopping bags are no longer provided so bring your own or purchase the ecobags instore for future reuse. The store has a wide selection of everyday necessities along with the liquor, fresh fruit, deli etc. Staff were helpful and polite. Self service is provided but Card Only.”

“This is not my usual supermarket but I went there specially because this was the only supermarket I came across that stocked "Kindness shampoo" for delicates and woollens that smells nice and has the wool logo. This was recommended to me.”

“Clean and well‑stocked, it offers a wide variety of pantry essentials including organic and bulk food. Helpful staff and fast checkout options. Located on Level 3 of Westfield Mall, it offers free parking for 3 hours if you register your Car number plate in the Westfield app. It's slightly tricky to find inside the mall, but it's worth the visit!”

“Feels like the 1990's throughout but we did more and more of our shopping to try and behave locally before heading out upon Lake Rd traffickle to le other supply chain supermarket what with duopoly arbitrage.Its inspiring in there if you have the time and the champagne tastings help.We'll be back .”

“was served quickly, although there was a few pushy customers when it came to queuing up but cashier was kind. stock was plentiful and good deals going at the time. aisles are wide which is very convenient for shoppers passing by. overall a nice experience for first time visit”
