Pets in Christchurch

“Courtney is superb with our dog, and he always comes back looking handsome and smelling yummy. Initially, he didn't like his legs being trimmed, but he soon he learnt to trust Courtney and now is fine. He knows her and trusts her - as do we! Courtney has a lovely way with dogs and they sense that. I would highly recommend Courtney as a dog groomer, and we will continue to support her.”

“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.”

“Lesley is great. So helpful, understanding and caring. I was very worried about how my skittish little girl Chloe would settle in there for a couple days and the whole process was better than I expected :)”

“Good price and they update their facebook page daily with pictures of the dogs playing, so you get to see how much fun they're having :)”

“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!)”

“Awesome crew, so good with my dog whenever I bring him in for a nail clip. Best part for him is he always gets a special treat afterwards and best part for me is no appointment necessary and a super reasonable price for the service. Thank you Savoir Dog!”

“Our three Cavalier King Charles Spaniels were treated like royalty throughout their many stays in 2023. Michelle and Dave are awesome. My boys always looked so happy on the videos of the day and with each return visit they charged into reception with unbridled enthusiasm. Worth the extra distance of travel knowing they were happy and well cared for. Thank you team, doggy licks from Digby, little Tom and Toby-Tenzing.”

“A Country Home for our dog feels like a luxury hotel break, so we never feel guilty when going on holidays, it is great! Nic run’s her business professionally and efficiently, we are very grateful. Totally recommend A Country Home.”

“Best place to go for a beer. Great service and Dave is a legend. Alt kitchen food is always above average and the pizzas are delicious. Would recommend this place if your ever near.”

“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.”

“The team at WAG Doggy Daycare are absolutely fantastic. We have just started our 2 mini schnauzers at WAG and the staff have been amazing in helping them settle in. Photos and reels bring smiles with the whole family following WAG on socials. Both dogs are so excited on arrival and have such a great time. Thanks to the team at WAG for looking after our 4-legged friends with so much care!”

“Stayed at Golden Hotel for 2 nights. This hotel exceeded my expectations. Very clean and tidy, amenities were great. Very close to food places and Westfield mall. Will be coming back here whenever we come back to Christchurch.”

“Super clean everywhere! It was so well stocked with everything we needed. The host was fantastic. So lovely and helpful Plus they have a shop downstairs which is great! Thank you for a lovely stay!”

“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.”

“Wigram vet has been Tory's go to vet / daycare since his day 1, always friendly and nice team to welcome him. Thanks always.”

“Great staff. Felt like no rush during the appointment. The vet explained everything very well. They also worked within my budget.”

“Beautifully appointed, super spacious and immaculate accommodation. The owner is lovely and so helpful. Go for the deal that includes dinner locally. I went to the Laboratory which was buzzing and had great food and locally brewed beer.”

“We are so glad we’ve found Eyrewell Kennels! It was the first time we’ve had our 6 month old puppy Taika stay in a kennel. From the moment of initial contact they put our mind at ease with what to expect and once arriving you could see immediately what a great facility it is. Huge outdoor grass areas with separate section’s for different dogs and very clean indoor kennels with air conditioning. Taika loved his stay and will happily be booking future use at Eyrewell. Thanks team!”

“Wonderful staff, wonderful products. Highly recommended”

“Knowledge is power and oh my, the knowledge shared by the lovely lady at Chook Manor was incredible. Thank you for helping with all my questions and queries and even helping me carry all the goodies to the car. I am very grateful. I walked in with a long list of questions and walked out knowing I’ve met the only chicken guru I will ever need! The girls are looking gorgeous in their bracelets AND I feel relaxed knowing they are eating and drinking the correct stuff. Thank you! Best part was how fun you made visiting. Thumbs up from me. I shall see you again :)”

“Absolutely beautiful little retreat, the rooms are the perfect size for a couples getaway, the views are incredible and the best part was the hot tub at night with the stars and one of the best wines we have tasted. We feel refreshed and renewed. Lots of extra details that made this place such a gem, from Bluetooth connectivity throughout the room to the luxury bathroom and of course the super comfy bed. Well done to all who make this place so special, couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to start our NZ holiday. Thank you :)”

“Friendly staff Full of information Don't have to wait long for an appointment”

“Absolute fantastic value for money at the Darfield Motel. Friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. We stayed for four nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Spacious, warm and wonderfully clean rooms. Well equipped kitchenette. Walking distance to the amazing bakery and other places to eat. Thank you Darfield Motel for a warm welcome and perfect stay. Can't wait to come back.”

“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.”

“We had our cat piglet recently stay here and I was very impressed with the service and set up here. Piglet is very happy thank you for taking such good care of her.”

“Our double coated boy finally got a groom today after us trying to keep on top of his shedding and trimming for five years. I wish I did it earlier. Wow. He looks so good and smooth and was happy as. The young blonde girl is super friendly, professional and clearly likes what she does (not the worst job for sure if you love dogs) highly recommend!”

“Highly recommend this accommodation the service was fantastic. The rooms were spacious and clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable great nights sleep Also the location was perfect very central to everything.”

“Cute place near everything. We walked mostly. Parking is close quarters but at least they have some! Rooms are spacious and comfy. Staff are awesome.”

“A colleague and I stayed in Sumner Bay Motel recently and would be more than happy to stay here again. The service and friendliness of Sophie and Mark was outstanding. We were in the 2 bedroom unit, 2 lovely comfy couches in the good sized living space, beautifully equipped kitchen and comfy beds, Very warm when it was freexing outside. Highly recommend, great motel, great location”
