Veterinary clinic in Christchurch

“Everything was perfect, very nice staff”

“Came here for my ringneck parrot who was shaking and had a vitamin deficiency. The staff know there stuff ✨ Jose Doo went the extra mile even checking in every few days!!”

“Great people, great small town vet”

“Jess and Emma and the rest of the team were absolutely amazing. I took my dog in for a simple procedure but when they found some anomalies they went above and beyond to look into it and to provide me with help and reassurance. The whole team is always so friendly and helpful and they always follow up with phone calls to check in. Highly recommend. Thank you from myself and Billie girl.”

“I’ve been bringing my dog(s) to this clinic since 2018, when I first moved to the area. From day one, the staff have been nothing short of amazing—friendly, caring, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. I love that I can phone up and they know exactly who me and my dog(s) are. Even after moving 1.5+ hours away, I still make the trip back to LR because I simply won’t take my dog anywhere else. I highly recommend VetLife LR and the wonderful team to any pet owner who wants the absolute best care for their pets. Thank you, from Courtney & Pip (ex WV Rd).”

“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.”

“This is a lovely local vet clinic which is beautiful and calming. The vets are thorough and have always been really sweet with my cat. I appreciate all the staff I've come across- they're doing a great job.”

“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”

“We just finished appointment with Karen....it was a very professional experience...nice handling....highly recommended..keep the good work ..”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“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!)”

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

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

“Portia loves going to the vets and I always feel listened to with any concerns I have regarding her health. The team are very friendly and professional”

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

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

“We’ve taken our beloved cats to Anna for years now. Like many other reviews, we also drive a distance to Anna, we trust her with them both. The boys come home healthy, settled and I feel so relaxed leaving them in her care - thanks Anna!”

“Great service, got everything I needed.”

“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.”

“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 ⭐️”

“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”
