Animal hospital in Christchurch

“We just finished appointment with Karen....it was a very professional experience...nice handling....highly recommended..keep the good work ..”

“The team at Animal Orthopaedics Christchurch were amazing. The initial appointment was a whole hour where they took the time to assess and give valuable advice. The process of surgery was awesome with the teams caring nature and constant updates was truly amazing. Highly recommend using the team at Animal Orthopaedics.”

“I took my critically ill Chihuahua to this vet on Friday morning after she had been under the care of another vet for a week with no idea as to what was wrong. Within 30 seconds a lump was found. Daisy, my dog, was operated on Friday evening and an earplug was removed from her intestine. The next day Daisy nearly passed away but the dedication of the vet saved her. I have no doubt that my dog would have died without the care of this practice. For that reason they have hero status in my mind. I will never have enough words and cannot recommend enough.”

“A big thank you to Andrew the horse dentist He has done a amazing job with my horses and really lovely to deal with Thank you very much Andrew I would highly recommend you to anyone”

“I would highly recommend these guys. Had to see them over a long weekend when our vet was closed and have since transferred our 2 dogs and cat over to them. They are all so helpful and go beyond expectations. They even rang to check up on our cat the following week to see how she was doing and have given us really great advice. They really care about your pets and very well priced. 10 out of 10 ⭐️”

“Took a friend here yesterday with Kayla the pup. Prior to going had emailed for information on immunisations. Prompt friendly response from staff. Phoned to book and staff friendly and happy to help. Great staff and very reasonably priced. Visit calm and friendly wait, vet gentle with pup, picked up heart murmur explained it well. Good checkup, information on behaviour management. Suggested puppy schools and trainer. When to worm etc. Loved the backpack/front pack idea for walking around Mitre10 and getting her used to all sorts of people and noises. Great reminders about not putting pup on the ground where unvaccinated dogs Iggy have been, due to high rates of parvovirus in Chch at moment. I’m going back here to get our girl backup to date health wise. Thankyou”

“Reception ia always friendly and welcoming , ready to help when you ring for an appointment . Yasmin our vet has a lovely caring manner which makes you feel your pets are in safe hands.”

“Have been taking my cat to Claire and Colin at vetcall for a few years now. I find them to be very thorough and caring veterinarians. The nurses here are super lovely as well. They do also offer afterpay as well as royal canin food bag and pouch recycling. Highly recommend this wonderful team!”

“The after hours service was excellent. Vet was very thorough.”

“Very kind gentle approach with my dog, great knowledge and great to have natural medications that work”

“These volunteers are angels. I found a baby bird on my driveway, presumably fallen from its nest with no sign of a nest or mum around. I struggled to care for it so the next day I brought baby bird in here. These people were welcoming and caring and said they’d give it the best chance of survival. They also keep in touch with progress. Can’t thank these people enough.”

“We took our furry baby in to this vet. He is a 56.5 kg massive Rottweiler, who doesn’t trust Veterans. He came with us from overseas and the procedure to be here in NZ was so hard and stressful for him. They treated him very well. They took care of him just like a normal friendly dog. They were not afraid of him and he got very professional treatment. We will be back because he has ears infection but now I am happy to work together with a professional doctors and nurses. I highly recommend this place if your pets not just a pet, but family members. The place is tidy and clean.”

“This is a lovely local vet clinic which is beautiful and calming. The vets are thorough and have always been really sweet with my cat. I appreciate all the staff I've come across- they're doing a great job.”

“Excellent ... dog has a stick stuck in throat, sorted very quickly ... lovely people”

“I was so lucky to find these lovely people.They have been fantastic from the first visit till the last, when I had to euthanize my buddy after 12 years. You feel like they actualy care about your loved furchild, not money, like most businesses now days. Definitely recommend the team, even if you're outside the area, I drove past two vets to get to them each visit for their great service.”

“We got the appointment for our lovely Labrador at the VSA Christchurch swiftly after our vets referred us. The communication was great, we were well looked after by a professional and very caring team of vet specialists, nurses and receptionists. But most importantly - our dog feels so much better now. The CT scan prior to the surgery was the best decision and made the process easier for everyone. We're relieved and grateful for all the wonderful support and highly recommend the VSA Christchurch. Thank you so much.”

“The nurses and vets here are amazing. Kind, compassionate and just the best. Special thanks to Sara who helped us hugely with our golden. Beyond grateful for people like her.”

“Highly recommend - this is the best vet for your cat in Christchurch. Our rag doll cat, Gus has had some bladder issues recently, which has meant a few visits and follow up calls. Dr Ian has been extremely knowledgable, calm and always patient and understanding with our questions. All of the staff are welcoming and compassionate and clearly dedicated to the wellbeing of their patients. They've made a stressful time much easier and we are grateful for the care the Cat Vet has provided. Thank you so much!!”

“Highly recommend the team at Paws. Very caring, reassuring and kind. They took great care of our beloved family cat and were very transparent around the cost (which ended up not being as bad as I thought it would be!)”

“Our dog Nox was shown such care, he's 15y and scared of being at the vet, but the vet came down to his level and we both sat on the floor while she was able to look at him while he paced around the room.”

“These guys are so lovely and helpful, especially for a first-time kitten owner with lots of questions! Great service, communication and care for the animals.”

“Great service, got everything I needed.”

“Very friendly, and unlike others, don't talk to you with an air of superiority, always making you feel like you've been sold something. These guys have put down two of my pets and are so empathetic, and in testing my Rotty the first of the medicine was considerably cheaper than my last vet.”
