Animal hospital in Christchurch

“A really good vet clinic , my cat is still under treatment so I don't know about her outcome yet .It will be a while to get her stable and ongoing .She couldn't be in better hands. I think she is very unwell ,she went away for 2 -3 days and just came back tonight. I fed her and my stray black cat came in for his fed.they don't get on as he is a real male ,unneutered and think he's a feral/exdomestic cat possibly dumped or left behind when young he did the cat flap next door & got kicked out harshly so came into mine he was starving.. I kicked him out as there was a big cat fight ,mine hid under the bed eventually ,He has scooted out the flap but 5 minures he comes back with this low growl 'keep away' big bluff actually . So I fed him some of that shredded meat and he was one happy cat and he loves milk (I know it's not too good for their lungs apparently) but he drunk 2 bowls and got into the cat biscuits .He's sporadic though I never know when he'll turn up and now I'm allowed to pet him .I slipped him a dewormer tab and is now a pitch black nice cat. The Manx I think is too ill to save Petal needs to sleep but I can't get her out from under the bed . I'm too disabled to reach her ,I tried but shes found a good spot.Mean while I adopted Rufus an 8 year old mixed breed big like a lab. He's a softie ,loves food and likes me the source of delights .He has to sample tit bits off my plate I hand him or I risk losing the whole lot and he loves icecream & custard .Sorry to ramble but I'm in bit of a panic with Petal she needs out and in the cage when I can get her to my vet in Darfield . She had 3 lovely kittens all adopted 2 females with normal tails and a male a real Manx ,a little knub for a tail .He went to my best mates wife. I later thought Darn I shoulda kept him for Petal and us ........She had a good life sole charge I used to see her patrolling the territory and she never figured out a hedgehog we used to feed..............I got a pic somewhere...Oh well, I'll have to call someone I hope she doesn't leave me again.”

“There care our beloved cat received was outstanding. The vet was amazing our cat was really scared and so was I. She explained everything really clearly and was so compassionate and caring that our cat calmed down and I think fell a little in love, she was purring instead of hissing. We possibly have a long road to get our wee girl back to good health but I have every faith in our vet Thank you”

“My dog, Charlie, is my life. A few weeks ago he became very unwell and needed to have emergency surgery after swallowing a piece of bark that lodged in his small intestines. We have used Shirley Vet Clinic for years as their staff are all so caring, knowledgeable, and friendly. Once again I was blown away by everything that the team did to save my boy. The aftercare was also top notch. Charlie is nearly back to 100%. I can’t thank the team enough for everything. They are amazing. If you are looking for a highly skilled team to look after your pets, call Shirley Vet Clinic.”

“Great service, very friendly staff, felt like they looked after my kitten very well and were very knowledgeable.”

“They've looked after my family of pets in stellar fashion. Professional staff with a real compassion when times get rough to help in every which way. Always accommodating with squeezing you in when the odd situation requires it and always make my loved fluffy ones care priority.”

“Took great care of my cat. Informed me of everything that was wrong with him and they are reasonably priced. I really appreciated the advice to make sure he stays healthy”

“You made our extremely anxious dog feel so comfortable, by welcoming us to pop in with him from time to time to receive a little treat and weight at no cost. He loves to visit now. Thank you for your kindness and patience.”

“Amazing staff! all are so positive, will definitely be a forever client. Thank you Halswell team ☺️”

“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.”

“My first time at this vets, and was very impressed with the service I got from all of the staff. Very caring. Also gave excellent advice in a non-judgemental way. My boy's foot pad was split open after a mountain adventure, it's the 3rd time he has had this type of injury, but the first time we have been told it isnt a food allergy! I am happy I made the decision to change to VetEnt, and Emma the vet couldn't have been lovelier. Highly recommend.”

“Everything was perfect, very nice staff”

“Friendly and efficient, they looked after my 2 female cats with care. Clear and helpful information was given with after care. Would recommend!”

“As a cat breeder, we take all our cats here. The ladies are all wonderful and the Vet is excellent.”

“The vets were amazing the whole time my dog was in their care. They kept me updated regularly with calls, texts, and photos, even at night. They were extremely helpful and affordable, and I’ll forever be grateful for the care my dog received.”

“very good vet clinic. Nice and friendly staffs. Very happy experience to me and my kittens❤️”

“Very friendly, helpful and informative. Great service for ourselves and our puppy.”

“Came here for a second opinion for my dogs slowly deteriorating hips, and have since moved her out here as our full time vet due to the care and the fact my dog is excited about vet trips (a first ever). Gail does an amazing job and the treatment we are receiving is yielding some impressive positive results!”

“Came here for my ringneck parrot who was shaking and had a vitamin deficiency. The staff know there stuff ✨ Jose Doo went the extra mile even checking in every few days!!”

“A perfect farmstay. Have been daydreaming about it ever since we left and am eager to take our kids one day. Delicious, plentiful food and great conversations with our gracious hosts. One of my most memorable travel experiences ever.”

“Always a great experience with OurVets, they are accommodating with bookings and have fit us in last minute several times over the years, and the team really care about our dogs, always greeting them when we come in and the vets being very thorough with our consults. The reception team are lovely and I wish I knew their names but one of the ladies in particular has been so helpful with the process of transferring our dogs' info over as we move to Aus. Really appreciate it!”

“Amazing staff, Lynda goes above and beyond. Very thorough with checkups and quick diagnoses/treatment plans for our cats.”
