Pets in New Zealand

“I used to take my cat to Vetcare on Great North Road. I was pleased to find that when that business closed, all my pet's records had been transferred to Auckland Pet Hospital. Recently, my elderly cat's health failed. The staff were super efficient, highly professional, and kind and caring as my cat had reached the point where his life was ending. I am very grateful for the empathy given to me as I shared the last minutes with my cat, which had been my constant companion for so many years. Lots of thanks to Auckland Pet Hospital.”

“I have done my fair share of research when looking for a vet and I am confident to say that I trust this vet with my pet! They have an amazing team, a lovely receptionist and the nurses and doctors are super informative and friendly!”

“I had an exceptional experience with my dog groomer today! He not only exceeded my expectations but also executed the grooming exactly as I requested. I'm truly impressed with his attention to detail and professionalism. My furry friend looks and feels fantastic! Highly recommend this groomer for his outstanding service.”

““I’m very happy with their work. They provided the best service for my dog everything was done very cleanly, neatly, and with great care. Even though I contacted them very late to make a an appointment, when I called and explained that I urgently needed a time, they kindly arranged the earliest possible appointment so I could bring my dog in. I can honestly say this is one of the best places and I highly recommend them.””

“Everyone I've spoken to has been nothing but helpful and caring, and Margaret deserves special mention for going out of her way to make sure my kitty was accommodated for at short notice. No brained to recommend again”

“Poco absolutely loved her stay at Pets At Whitford Spa & Stay! After a bad experience at another kennel (where she returned after 4 nights with bloody stool, coughing, and lethargy), I was very anxious about this stay. However, from the moment we were greeted by the staff, I felt reassured by the professionalism and warmth of the team. They have well-trained staff, experienced dog handlers, and a smooth, well-managed system. During her stay, I could see daily photos of her on Facebook, which was such a comfort! When I picked her up after 4 nights, I could tell she had a great time. Most importantly, her diet, bowel movements, and overall energy were completely normal when she returned home! I highly recommend Pets At Whitford Spa & Stay! Thank you so much, and we’ll be back!”

“The time our Bella stayed with QPS has been really stress free and easy. At first I was quite nervous about leaving her there but the staff at QPS has been really accomodating and updating me with photos and messages. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”

“Will never go anywhere other than to Kerry. Poor Roxy would be traumatized if we did. Highly recommend Kerry, she listens and has got fabulous knowledge on every breed of dogs.”

“Argo loves going to the team at Pet Doctors Hillcrest when he needs care - he is very mischievous and they understand the challenges this brings - chewing toys and furniture to destruction given any opportunity - a born chewer. He is treated superbly by the vets, nurses, and technicians. We trust that they have his care and good health at the fore when he's got appointments, or is in for observation.”

“Our dog loves going here both for doggy day care and longer stays. What is most appreciated is the prompt communication around booking in and the flexibility the team has if our plans have changed. Keep up the good work.”

“My regular shop reliable, informative assists me above and beyond. Have been shopping here for years and will continue to do so. If I could give this family ten stars I would. Keep up the good work guys.”

“Great product range, amazing shop and dogs love the food.”

“Our Jack Russell Toby loves this place. We have been using them for 5 years now. The staff here is just amazing. Communication is always very clear. They answer my calls and emails in couple of hours no matter week day or weekend. Very happy with Bark Avenue, thank guys for everything. ❤️”

“100% my luckiest find. I simply will not use another care-giver for my dog. Professional, friendly, genuine, dog-loving staff. Nothing is too much trouble.”

“Very grateful to Creature Comforts for looking after our two doggos for nearly 4 weeks, one of them was recovering from an infected wound on drop off. Unfortunately they’re not too active on social media so we couldn’t stalk our dogs while overseas, but communication from the start was great and they reached out to us when they had concerns and contacted the local vet appropriately. We appreciated how food is included in the lodging and the dogs were washed on pick up. Will definitely use them again in the future”

“Our little Layla had her first groom and we were so impressed how she looked when I picked her up. Thank you so much”

“It is amazing what a change of ownership can do. From never having stock and staff that had almost lost the will to live, we now have no problems getting what we need, with people who are just so happy to help. I would now highly recommend this company for your animal needs. I feel sad now having to move out of Auckland and now begin looking for a new company. I wish them all the success. It's been a pleasure dealing with you all.”

“First time visiting Pet House with our Maltese/Shitzhu cross and this will now be her regular groomers. Our dog does not normally like going to the groomers however after her first visit she didn’t seem to want to leave! Lots of love and cuddles given to her, good communication around what we wanted and the end result was fabulous - best cut ever! Happy dog and owners. Thank you .”

“We have been using Pet Doctors Howick for a number of years.Our cat Eddie is a bit of street fighter and has always been fixed up by the team with lots of care and attention. A cheerful and very patient bunch of people.”

“Our dog Cooper is well looked after at WAGS. He is always eager to go in for his Doggy DayCare. Plus when he has had to stay for a few nights we do not have any problems with him when he comes home. Very happy with the care and service. Louise & Poutu”

“I love this store! They really look after their customers and go the extra mile for you. You also get the best greetings when you enter the store especially from their lil fur baby Mia. All my fish and live plants are from this store, and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. The best local pet store, and definetly worth the visit as they have all sorts of healthy and thriving animals. Their knowledge is so extensive that they've helped me alot with my fish keeping journey. Highly recommend this place!”

“We love the team at Metro and George reassuringly seems to love them more than us cannot wait to be there for day stays or boarding. He was so little 7 yrs ago on his first visit and has been enjoying the best of care ever since. So Grateful. Maureen & Craig”

“Such a cute shop here in town, the shop keeper is actually so lovely he made our quick couple of visits so easy and my son loved being able to pick out his fishes.”

“We had our cat in for a consult for a large abscess. Sorted professionally and quickly. Friendly staff who are great with pets. Highly recommended.”

“The friendly staff are lovely to deal with, prices for things are very fair! Knowledgeable staff for sure for both our fur babies”

“Julie and the team have been absolutely amazing looking after our 2 fur babies! She has been so accomodating and kept us at ease with updates on how they were doing. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

“Fantastic vets. Very professional services. Lots of time spent explaining treatments, great knowledge and skills. They are very kind and caring towards both humans and animals!”

“Always have Great service every time I go in! Also wanted to mention I brought a female budgie a few years back and she’s already had a clutch of 4 successful eggs she’s doing great. Also wanting to stop in on Sunday and grab a water Lily and a lotus plant and will hopefully review those as well”

“We regularly use these kennels for our two dogs and have always found it a positive experience. The owner and staff are so accommodating with our bookings and any specific requests. Our dogs love staying there and become so excited as soon as we get to the driveway. There is a large grassed area where the dogs are let out of their kennels several times a day and socialised with other similar sized dogs. The food is of a high quality or you are welcome to bring your own. The dogs come home clearly having been well cared for by the passionate and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend using Pet2us.”
