Veterinary care in Christchurch

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

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

“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.”

“I can't thank the team at After Hours for Pets enough! When our dog suddenly became very ill late at night, we were frantic and didn't know what to do. Thankfully, their incredible team was available after hours and took immediate action. Thanks to their prompt and compassionate care, our dog's life was saved. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine kindness made all the difference during a very stressful time. I highly recommend After Hours for Pets to any pet owner — they truly went above and beyond for our dog all thanks to the after hour.”

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

“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.”
