Pets in Christchurch

“Our dog Winston can’t wait to go to PAWS every week, he loves seeing the staff and his dog friends. We can’t speak more highly of our experience at PAWS.”

“totally awesome place to stay in everyway!.....hosts are so accomodating and helpful.....everything spotlessly clean and tidy, comfy bed and nice personal touches in the room. Will def. stay again and highly recommend for location, price and comfort in one of ChCh's best suburbs.”

“Lisa and Brooke always look after our Archie and do an amazing job. Especially with the challenges faced with his often matted beard and paws”

“Lovely room, great dining area, lots of beautiful artwork, and nice hosts. Smallest sink ever in the room like so many other places in NZ. Nice shower though.”

“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”

“Amazing store . Visited these guys a few weeks ago for a stick vacuum and the guys who served me were friendly and helpful”

“I've just finished working in Rangiora for 3 months. I stayed at The Riverstone Motel for the whole time and loved it. Quiet, convenient, and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for super friendly hosts Charlotte and Mike. Every evening I'd come back to the curtains drawn and the heat pump on. It's the little things that count.I recommend it 100% and would go back in a heartbeat.”

“I was afraid of running late to my son's graduation and was feeling upset. The pharmacist was kind and I was able to let out stress. The rest of the day went fine and was a day to remember. Thank you for getting us emergency medication quickly. A++++”

“Fast and friendly staff. Was not able to get my order from anywhere else in the city. always has good stock.”

“Fantastic friendly professional service.”

“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.”

“Fantastic service, staff really helped when I was struggling to post a saddle. Offered to box it up for me and gave advice as to where to post it, very helpful!”

“Amazing service and very helpful. Grooming work is excellent and staff are very friendly”

“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 ⭐️”

“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.”

“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”

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

“They are always so helpful even when we were in the north island. So efficient, thank you! Our wee Saffy is now pain free.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“We just moved our dog (a Great Dane) back to Melbourne and used Donquest on Jessons – Matt and Yo were awesome and made the whole process super easy. Can’t recommend them enough if you’re relocating a pet! Thanks!”

“Worked a Corporate Challenge in Christchurch this week. Commodore Hotel was exceptionally localed for both the event and airport. It has the most luxurious bed. It was like sleeping on clouds. The kitchen was open for a late night dinner, which was very much appreciated with finishing so late. The breakfast this morning was delicious. Offering both a Continental Breakfast and brilliant A La Carte. I opted for the Continental which was perfectly satisfying.”

“Great quiet place to stay, easy to find after a long flight and the room was kept nice and warm for my midnight arrival. The after hours key was easy to find and the room was lovely and clean. Will definitely stay again”

“A quiet and wonderful home-style backpackers. The hosts, Alan and Keiko, are lovely and welcoming. The garden is gorgeous, and the rooms and facilities well kept. Definitely recommend staying, and will come back again!”

“Bought a lovely sweater for my dog, it’s absolutely gorgeous and he looks so cute in it. Great for those chilly winter night. Shipping was fast, I highly recommend!”

“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”

“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 13 month old Greyhound and I just compleaded a 4 week manners course. From the start Georgia made everything easy I was unsure of what class would best suit our needs so we arranged a pre training assessment. We met with Kerry, who listened and made me feel that he cared and that he genuinely wanted to show me how to help my dog and I to work together as a team. I really want to say "Thankyou for the last 4 weeks. The great information, training tips with real world advice. Oh and the laughs"”
