Pets in New Zealand

“Pet Essentials Hastings are the best. Staff are friendly and helpful. They really care about our dogs health and wellness. And they have all you need for all types of Pets.”

“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”

“Excellent consult with my elderly cat who wasn't eating and had been vomiting for a few days. Jess, locum vet, listened to me and we discussed various measures we could take. Felt supported. Meds and fluids given. Meds for home use as well. We will go back for a review in several days. End of life options also discussed. Very happy to have been able to talk things thru.”

“The young employee there was very helpful in helping me find what I needed to find and she was not mumbling under her breath or anything under those lines. I am very happy with the service that had been provided to me and I am looking forward to shopping there more because of the great quality in the bird seeds and other supplies I had purchased and the amazing employee that complemented me and made sure my experience was truly amazing, and I know this is for a shop but I felt the need to say how happy I was with my service.”

“Such good people have been coming here for years ! Always looks after me when I come in and has very affordable prices. Would highly recommend this pet shop.”

“I have had 2 positive experiences at Pet Doctors with Linda. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout Draco’s consult for his recurring skin allergies. Not only was she thorough in examining him and explaining possible causes and treatments, but she also made sure to check in with me, answering all my questions clearly and patiently. It’s wonderful to have a vet who combines expertise with genuine kindness. Highly recommend Linda and the Pet Doctors team!”

“Very good place for all your pet needs. We bought our cat Rodney a cat barrel tower that was a $60.00 saving which was pretty good. We also buy our wet cat food from here if it is on offer. Staff are usually pretty friendly and cheerful”

“Nice place and easy to get to from the motorway if your heading south but a bit tricky to get to if your heading north. We decided to try this pet motel as our usual pet motel was full and it ended up being cheaper. The owners are lovely people and they know what they are doing. However one downside is if your dropping of a dog and a cat you have to go to different entrances. However they also don't have eftpos but they will take cash or give you a bank transfer slip. Will happily use them again.”

“This store is my kid’s favourite place to come. They definitely like to come again and again.”

“OMG! What an experience! We left our German Shepherd in a pet lodge for the second time and first time with Fairfield Pet Lodge. We are super impressed with the Fairfield: facilities are huge, everything looks super professional. We could see that our dog absolutely enjoyed his stay, he was even washed and brushed - we have never seen our dog so bright and fluffy. The only question I have is who was on holiday - we or the dog? Looks like the dog...))) Will definitely be back!”

“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.”

“I love the layout of the store because it makes it easier to find stuff. The staff are super informative and friendly. There is plenty of parking available, and there is a burger fuel, noodle takeaway, countdown, and anytime fitness gym close by if you need to make a quick stop.”

“Had to get special food for baby ducklings we rescued. The woman was so helpful and lovely. Shop was clean, well-stocked and tidy. No problem with parking”

“Pets By Design provide a fantastic grooming service, always welcoming my dog and I with a warm smile, and a whole lot of kindness. My dog loves to return there for her grooms and I know she gets treated with great care. My groomer really listens to my grooming preferences and I’m so grateful that I found PbyD!! Very happy to recommend!”

“My cat of 15 yrs was ill, Pet Doctos were wonderful, so patient with me and my silly quetios. Even though they were booked solidly, they went out of the way to help my cat and and to make sure we knew what was happening with him”

“Long time client of Cathy and Phil and no hesitation in singing their praises. Professional, compassionate and caring for my late German Shepherd and now, my Bichon/Toy Poodle X. Highly recommended.”

“Love people caring for my doggies while I have to travel.”

“A well stocked pet shop. Had a look through the shop and there is so many pet products I haven't seen before. They sell tropical & cold water goldfish with all the accessories. Also hand raised birds & fancy looking guinea pigs”

“My dog has been going here for a good few years now, very happy with the service provided, thank you!! :)”

“Floki had his first groom at pet plus today and boy he looks AMAZING!”

“Great place to get dog roll and way cheaper than supermarkets”

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

“Our 'oodle was very relaxed and happy with his groom. There was time for him to mingle with other dogs and they took snacks off us to keep him happy and rewarded (a nice touch). And he got a great groom too! Cheers.”

“Excellent Experience today. Staff member I delt with was outstanding and extremely knowledgeable. Fish have settled in nicely.”

“The staff are very accommodating and friendly. We boarded our cat here for a week, and it seems like our cat loved the place and the staff. The cat boarding rooms are very spacious and the cats have plenty of space to go around. You can also have a special request if you want to have your cat roam outside of their room for a few hours a day and play with the toys around the boarding area or with the other cats.”

“Nikita at Pet Central Hornby provides a fantastic dog grooming service. She takes such great care of our border collie and always checks in with us about what we want and any concerns we have. You can tell Nikita really cares and our girl always looks amazing after a groom. Highly recommend.”

“Used 2 love getting stuff for my dog”

“New puppy, needed stuff. I have used them a few times now. They are just brilliant. Last order placed was on-line, placed the order on a Sunday, and I cant believe it, it turned up in Wanaka on Monday morning. Well done guys. Our puppy says thanks as well”

“My boxer Karen and little yorkie Marsha always come home happy from here. They are in the best hands and they always look forward to their next stay. The staff is knowledgeable and they know what they are doing. I'd totally recommend leaving your fur babies here.”

“We have tried a few places now, and these guys have been the best for our wee fellow. He was very happy when I picked him up and didn't require a bath when I got him home. Unlike our previous experience.”
