“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.”

“Awesome, friendly service. Great team.”

“For anyone looking for a special treat then I highly recommend going to a Long Table Lunch. The service and the ambience is exceptional and you can just feel the history oozing out from inside and outside of the lodge. Chef Jimmy is an absolute whiz in the kitchen and it was a true honour to sample several of his masterpieces. I'd also like to praise the exceptional efforts the lovely Lucy took to make me and my octogenarian mother feel at home. She was a true star and we really appreciated her assistance during our meal and garden tour. It was a gorgeous excursion and an experience we will warmly cherish forever. Merry Christmas and our best wishes to all the wonderful team at Otahuna Lodge.”

“The hostess was very accommodating and friendly. The rooms were clean and decorated well. The whole farm setting complete with alpacas and horses was fantastic. Convenient location close to the airport too. I highly recommend staying here.”

“Where do I start to recommend this kennel. This is the best of the best - simply because the owner and her trusted staff truly KNOW animals. They are passionate, observant, and they are so committed to taking the best care of the pets entrusted into their care using a skill-set you rarely find. They also uncover all their personality traits, which proves how much notice they do take. I had two of my dogs in there this week and Robyn had noticed a touch of aggression from my Jack to my Kelpie, which I had noticed at the same time of day only once before. She was right on to it, and separated them without worrying me. But, she did tell me when I picked them up and I immediately remembered I'd noticed it too once myself, but I thought perhaps it was a one-off thing. So, now I'm going to be watching that narky little Jack closer at home. I can't stress how much trust we put in the people who care for our pets. Make sure you choose wisely, and if you're asking me, I'd say Dentese every day of the week. Thank you.”

“Great & friendly management and staff with all the products you need.”

“Great service. Brilliant products. Free lozenges with honey. Very happy with them.”

“I find it hard to put into words how grateful I am to Paru. From the moment I arrived at the door I felt welcomed and safe. Paru guided me gently to find the love for myself and deal with my grief. For years I have felt lost but today I came home a different women. Lighter in body, mind and soul. Thank you beautiful lady”

“Great service and products, very easy to deal with. Highly recommended.”

“A really good motel experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this for both the motel and the location.”

“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!”

“Very nice community pharmacy, friendly and efficient with plenty of what you need”

“Lovely friendly staff excellent service. Some great gifts for all. Get your next covid shot here.”

“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.”

“Great spot, further out of town so cats are in a quiet farm setting. The owner really cares for all of them which means your cat isn't just a number. Each set of rooms has an enclosed outdoor space and they get to run around in it daily when it's their chance, rather than just having a small cage they stay in for the whole stay. The rooms and outdoor areas also look out onto the fields of sheep/pigs etc... so there is stimulation vs watching the side of a road or the opposite building.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I drive my cats out here from North New Brighton because the gardens & landscaping they have built around the cattery is beautiful, and it makes me feel good because it's like a little cat resort. Their comms are great, friendly people, and the hygiene standard is top-notch, as is their professionalism. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“I can not recommend Cheryl high enough, we had our 3 babies with her over Christmas just been (2023) for a week. Due to no fault of her own (our vet being lazy) our 11 month old kitten fell very ill, Cheryl went above and beyond and did everything she could for our precious peach. If you want to take your cats to someone who cares, you can’t get any better than Cheryl at 4 paws”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Great products at a competitive price. Delivery is second to none and the team are very helpful, fun and friendly. Love the stick drawings and the personal notes.”

“Scruffy boy looked amazing when I picked him up. He was so happy, and so handsome!!”

“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!”
