Veterinary care in Christchurch

“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.”

“Friendly recepionist and vet, treats our dog and cat well. Gives helpful advice about pet care. There is a small shop selling most pet requirements.”

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

“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.”

“Great facility and our cat came back happy and well. Deborah was great to deal with. We had been struggling to secure a cattery over Easter and Deborah let us know when she had a cancellation and was able to take our pet on short notice. She was also great about extending his planned stay and was clear on communication feeding information and pick up/drop off. Will definitely use in the future”

“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.”

“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”

“Very, friendly and knowledgeable team, took great care to explain all procedures, highly recommended.”

“Great people, great small town vet”

“Thanks for looking after our cats again. You always do a great job of caring for them. We feel blessed”

“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”

“A very human and Animal friendly team. Very well experienced staff. Keep it up guys.”

“These volunteers are angels. I found a baby bird on my driveway, presumably fallen from its nest with no sign of a nest or mum around. I struggled to care for it so the next day I brought baby bird in here. These people were welcoming and caring and said they’d give it the best chance of survival. They also keep in touch with progress. Can’t thank these people enough.”

“Excellent care of both nervous cat parent and the cats themselves. The young woman I dealt with, both at drop off and pick up, clearly has an infinity with cats and I was super impressed with her handling of both cats. I've used this cattery before and will use again without hesitation.”

“Excellent vets. They really try to do the best for your beloved horses”

“My two kittens stays here for 18 days. They were well fed, looked after and grown so much after their holidays here. They had a unit by themselves and attached fully fenced outdoor area. Thank you, Ethsome Cattery!”

“Have been taking my cat to Claire and Colin at vetcall for a few years now. I find them to be very thorough and caring veterinarians. The nurses here are super lovely as well. They do also offer afterpay as well as royal canin food bag and pouch recycling. Highly recommend this wonderful team!”

“This cattery is amazing, the owner is such a lovely caring lady who loves cats as much as me! Our 2 little girls were well looked after and got lots of pats and cuddles too. I would highly recommend this cattery.”

“We got our bantams and fertile eggs for our broody hen from Popular Pets. Ann is very nice and full of helpful advice which is much appreciated (first time having chicks). I absolutely recommend if you're looking to buy some chooks.”

“What an awesome cafe dogs welcome and the Doggie Fluffy went down a treat with Alfie”

“Our Golden Retriever is super apprehensive around new dogs, she stayed here for 14 days, the staff was so wonderful. First they put her with the calm older dogs and once she had acclimated to the presence of the dogs she went in with you younger more playful dogs. She came back with a spring in her step and a wagging tail. We will use Kosy K9s again”

“We’re now loyal customers, whenever we’re away on holiday, we trust them to look after our cat. The owner and staff are amazing and always provide top-notch service.”

“Great customer service. Clean and tidy store.”

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

“Very kind gentle approach with my dog, great knowledge and great to have natural medications that work”

“Great work and support for our dog. Outstanding knowledge.”
