Veterinary care in New Zealand

“First time at Dinsdale Pet Doctors - great experience from start to finish. I was especially appreciative of vet Antonia’s way with our pup and her excellent explanations as we discussed his care.”

“I cannot recommend Playful Paws enough! My dog loves going there and I know that she is well looked after. Its wonderful to have a safe place for my dog when we go away and also for daycare. In fact, we have just got two cats and they will go to the cattery when we go away. I find the communication is excellent and they are always happy to help. I'm very grateful to Linda & Sophie from Playful Paws. Thank you so much!”

“Found a lovely Vet clinic for my new pup! Great service and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Thanks Team!”

“Amazing vets. We have been here for 3 years. Our dog always gets a great service and look after very well.”

“Lovely knowledgeable team who care about your pets. Always prompt at getting you an appointment.”

“The staff are really caring and made time to check our pup when we needed reassurance and advice.”

“Always kind and caring. Explained everything well, and helped get our cat on the mend. They are very understanding and supportive—especially given our cat isn’t the most friendly critter. Thank you to the whole Vet Smart Plimmerton team.”

“Purrfurred Cattery is second to none! Sally and the team do an excellent job of making fur babies feel happy, loved and cared for away from home. We have two adventurous and rather large and demanding Siamese boys. They are always cared for and accommodated in a way that works for them. Thank you so much for the level of kindness, patience and care offered. We appreciate all the Purrfurred team do! Facilities are large, varied and clean. The cat minders are conscientious and considerate of each cat’s needs. Our boys return home settled and happy. A very special place that we are thankful to have established a relationship with.”

“The staff here were wonderful when we had to put down our cat. Caring, great explanations and made the journey easier. They put our precious cat into a beautiful box with artificial flower bouquet, paw prints and some fur in a vial. Made a terrible time manageable and precious.”

“After an number of years of attending CareVets Kapiti, the staff are still as kind kind-hearted and attentive as the first time we visited the clinic. Thank you so much!”

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

“We had our cat piglet recently stay here and I was very impressed with the service and set up here. Piglet is very happy thank you for taking such good care of her.”

“Brett and the team are the absolute best! They are so compassionate, professional and lovely to deal with. I always feel soo safe with my dog in their hands. Thanks so much for everything guys”

“The best place for your fur-baby! Lilla and Jeremy have created a cat safe haven, with lots of lovely sunny spots, hidey-holes, and comfortable sofas for cat naps. The individual spaces are very clean and modern. The shared spaces are beautifully presented with lots of interesting features to keep the kitties happy and entertained (including a fish pond!). My cat Zoe stayed here for almost a month during the summer holidays. I was a bit worried about leaving her for so long, but after meeting Lilla and Jeremy and seeing their space, I knew she was in very loving hands. She was very calm and happy when I collected her, and is as shiny and healthy looking as ever. Thank you so much Lilla and Jeremy.”

“Great team that know how to treat both owners and pets with respect and professionalism. Highly recommended.”

“We were recommended The Ardmore Vets when we were looking for a 2nd opinion for our dog. Simply couldn’t believe the difference in experience and the clear diagnosis also ultimately the cost of what was originally quoted and the real price we finally paid. I can’t speak more highly of the service and support that we received.”

“We were referred from our vet to Dr. Peter for our Sharpei X eye atrophy because of his breed. Professional, thorough, considered conservative options before offering surgery, Dr. Peter really puts you at ease and provides really clear easy to understand information and we are very grateful to have had his expertise in helping Mo out. Mo came home from surgery yesterday and was back to his normal self this morning and his eyes look great. THANK YOU”

“Have had my Jack Chi desexed and micro chipped.really great advice before Rubys surgery and her after surgery care was explained in detail. Thank You.”

“Billy miniature schnauzer loves coming here as he is treated like a celebrity whether for grooming, vaccinations or checkups. Staff are wonderful so know he is given the best of care. Wouldn't go anywhere else.”

“Great service and extra helpful staff”

“So glad I found this vet practice! The staff and super friendly and compassionate and went above and beyond to help my little dog after a not so very good experience with another vet practice while he was extremely unwell over the weekend. Honestly worth the drive from Hamilton, this vet is extremely clean and calm feeling. Will highly recommend this practice to others. Thank you so much for your help.”

“Susan went for her first stay with Matt and the other cats. It was a lovely clean facility with plenty of room and sleep pods for cats to find their own space. Highly recommend and it’s good to know there is a place available for when you want to go away.”

“Love Shroe Vets. They take the best care of our fur babies, like they're their own.”

“I left knowing that little Bella dog still has a decent life expectancy . Given that she drags me through the door on every visit confirms in my mind that she is well tended to .A reflection on the professional and caring attitude of the staff . Many Thanks , Bella and Keith”

“The best cattery we’ve found. Ended up using Club Meow over any of the catteries closer to us as it’s the only one our cat is happy at when we come to collect her. Have left our cat here for 3 months at one point and she was so well looked after. Staff are very knowledgeable and get to know your cat and their needs. Couldn’t recommend more!”

“Gracie told us she had a wonderful time with no complaints. Seriously - great place to leave your fur baby. Staff truly look after them - even down to giving them a hot water bottle in case they feel the cold.”

“An exceptional vet clinic! The level of care and cleanliness is outstanding, and the staff genuinely go above and beyond for our furry family members. Clare at the reception is incredibly helpful, and Georgia's puppy preschool classes are informative and beneficial. Dr. Emily and Claudia are absolute gems, providing expert care and invaluable advice. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking top-notch care for their pets.”

“Our 1 year old Rottie, Klaus, stayed here a while back and made friends with a German shepherd who was next to him. We were hesitant as Klais is our big fur baby but he was happy and well looked after.”

“We had to make the tough decision to put out boy down last week.Karen and the team couldnt have been more empathetic. They were amazing. They let us have the time and space we needed to say goodbye. Truely grateful to Karen Gow and the team at Bay vets Whakatane”

“Sadly we were contacted by Pap Village Vets as a community member brought in our deceased cat to be microchipped scanned to find us. They went above and beyond for us. They wrote a beautiful card, took paw prints for us. They even contacted the person who posted our cat online to try track us down to take down the post so we did not have to view it. Thank you for being there for us in such a tough time! You showed great kindness and empathy- we really appreciated it!”
