“I really was so impressed and thankful for the service at this vet clinic this morning. Our cat had an injury, and despite not having an appointment, they slotted him right in and did an assessment and treatment right away. It was really quick but thorough service, their team was so friendly and helpful and our cat was home within about 2 hours of us realising he was hurt. I am so grateful and I am sure that Mr Timmy (the cat) is also grateful! Thank you so so much!!”

“Wonderful, caring staff. My animals have always been incredibly well cared for, and the staff showed great compassion when my dog was diagnosed with meningitis. Highly recommended”

“Had to put our cat in cattery attached while we moved house His first time but staff have looked after him Nothing is too much”

“On Monday 22 September 2025, the team at the Animal Medical Centre worked for over 3 hours to remove LFC - liquid filling concrete - from the paws and other places of my cat Morgan La Fay. When Morgan got home and had recovered from sedation, she was completely back to normal. How Morgan came to walk through LFC is a long story which I will not recount. I do need to say 2 things, though, to make clear what a miracle the team achieved. The first is that, by the time I got her to the vet on Monday afternoon, the LFC had been on her paws and other places for 24 hours. She sounded like a ballet dancer en pointe when she walked around and kept hitting her ear with her back paw when trying to scratch it. The second is that Morgan is a cat with a very definite list of "nots" - do not walk towards me, do not pick me up, do not put me in a cage, do not leave me with strangers, do not touch my paws ... and on it goes. I knew she would have to be in a crush cage and I knew that even crush cages have their limits. The AMC team got all the hard-baked concrete off Morgan and left her with no ill-effects. That truly was a magnificent piece of work. I cannot speak highly enough of their ingenuity, patience, dedication, and veterinary knowledge and I am deeply grateful to them all. Thank you again to everyone who helped.”

“I had to say goodbye to my best friend the Bali dog Sat June 13th only 5ys a gentle giant, as most knew him. His love unconditional, the support over the last few weeks from Central Vets also unconditional just great amazing thanks very much.”

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

“Such caring, compasionate and professional staff. They took such great care of Willa in her final hours.”

“I have been so lucky to have the team at Upper Hutt Vets looking after both my dog Shade and myself. Shade has had a number of health issues since I got him and he’s had to have multiple surgeries and trips to Massey. The team at Upper Hutt Vets has always been so caring and so devoted to looking after Shade and doing the absolute best thing for him. Even when he’s been at Massey I have had calls from the vets and from the vet nurses checking in and following up with me to see how things are going. Shade can be a little be anxious when it comes to being handled by anyone that’s not me. The team have worked really hard to get Shade comfortable and have been so accommodating in figuring out the best way to treat Shade without conflict. I feel so lucky and grateful that we found such amazing caring people to help us through incredibly difficult times.”

“Well looked after and outstanding staff.”

“I cannot thank the team at Vetcare Greytown enough! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! My beautiful golden retriever girl was battling the itchy’s to the point of losing her gorgeous locks of gold. She was not at all an itchy allergy pup so we couldn’t understand why this had started. She really was miserable. Heidi and team have truly transformed my girl into the bubbly, bright fluffy retriever I know and adore. I will not ever go anywhere else!!!”

“The people that we have dealt with over the past few years have been exceptional. Nothing is too small for them. Excellent after hours service too. Would highly recommend. Thank you to you all for your awesome help and care.”

“The staff at Kaiwharawhara vetcare are amazing. They always go above and beyond to ensure our animals are happy and looked after- from squeezing us in last minute appointments for our cat or really taking the time to understand the needs of our nervous dog. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

“Dr Duncan has been amazing helping my dog with his ongoing allergy/skin saga. I only wish we had been able to see him earlier. He's really helped my dog feel much more comfortable, I highly recommend him.”

“When my 9 month old Huntaway needed surgery, I realised Massey wouldn't be cheap, but surprisingly it wasn't as expensive as I thought and I discovered they are the best, great people, great support and great result.”

“An absolutely wonderful place for your bestie...my boy has been for daycare and an overnight stay. He always comes back home so relaxed, happy and clearly incredibly well looked after and cared for...Lovely facilities and amazing staff. I am so grateful to not worry about my boy when he is with you.. Thank you so very much for all you do for us and our precious ones :=)”

“Have been with Pet Doctor Thorndon for six years. My cat Hansel has been well looked after by the professional team. Especially recently with the preparation for his exporting permit, the team at Pet Doctor Thorndon has made a complicated process being handled much more easier and smoother. This has been a great relief for me. Highly recommend this wonderful clinic to all furry friends’ families in Wellington.”

“Everyone at Kelburn Vets have been fantastic and have taken great care of my 2 young cats, who have made a neighbourhood enemy resulting in infected cat bites (one particularly bad). The team always get us seen really quickly and were able to perform 2 surgeries as soon as they were needed. I’m very grateful for such fantastic service and support.”

“Juilia, Muffy and others at Lakeside Veterinary Centre treated our feisty Bengal cat, LIa, with professional skill and loving care for Lia's life. We are extremely grateful that Julia and colleague were able to come to our house to help ease Lia's death when that became necessary. Lia was completely unstressed in her own home environment, on our lap, besides the fire. It was peaceful and quiet. This meant so much to her grieving human companions - with many thanks to Julia and everyone at Lakeside, Louise and George.”

“They are the best and most caring veterinarians we have ever had. Thank you for looking after us!”

“I have known Craig for about two and a half years and have taken in total, around 34 injured birds to him for treatment. He is absolutely marvellous - so kind, caring and dedicated. I also volunteer at WBRT on a regular basis and am glad to be able to help out. We are lucky to have a place to take injured birds in their time of need. Thank you Craig, for establishing WBRTand for all your hard work. Irene Harvey”
