Pets in Wellington

“Abi’s quick assessment of some things I was doing wrong has helped me enjoy walking my dog more. It has also helped me to manage his enthusiasm when greeting other dogs. Would definitely recommend her for training and helping with any particular issues. Thanks so much Abi.”

“Linda is great, not just haircuts, see really cares about her clients.”

“Wow. Ordered online and the feed arrived at grazing before I did! Fantastic service from Red Barn. The lovely team goes out of their way to help. Huge timesaver. So glad I found them.”

“The service here is amazing. Great staff. Friendly service. Very professional.”

“I almost never write reviews, but the great service I've had here deserved an exception. The folks at Wellington Compounding Pharmacy have been consistently friendly, helpful, and accommodating, especially Edward. I'm sure to be a lifelong customer. Thanks you guys!”

“I love her work. She's amazing. They all come out looking, smelling and feeling stunning. A wonderful groomer.”

“I can't recommend Purrville highly enough. My cat Marmite has been a guest several times and we have had positive experiences each time. The staff are friendly, reliable and reassuring. Purrville is clean and has lots of toys and walkways that keep the cats entertained. The staff always look after my anti-social kitty and are experts at providing the balance between space and attention that she needs. We will be back!”

“Amazing Team!!! This was our first visit to Anderson’s Vets and I won’t be going anywhere else. Malcom and his team made us feel welcomed and genuinely cared about my very sick baby. He is now recovering well after all their love and care. I’m so grateful he was in safe and loving hands. Highly recommend. Thank you from Sherman & our family ♥️”

“This man is absolutely amazing- Chris has always been such a pleasure to deal with. So friendly and welcoming. The Waterloo community are lucky to have him.”

“Our rabbit has been boarding at Elite Bunny Retreat for 5+ years. He is always beautifully looked after and Byndie is genuinely pleased to see him! He gets a variety of different food and the hutches are a good size allowing him to move around freely.Highly recommended for your bunny.”

“Cannot fault Sarah-Jayne's grooming skills and handling of our dog. Louie is excited to get there and always leaves looking and smelling great! She has such a lovely manner with our dog and is a pleasure to chat and deal with.”

“I had 4 of my cats stay at Hillcrest for 18 days. They loved it, when they came back you could tell they had been well looked after and brushed. Would highly recommend sending your fur babies here.”

“Our small poodle cross goes each week. Nat is amazing. She is caring and patient with our nervous wee girl - made all the difference.”

“This was the nicest hotel from our holiday in NZ. From the moment we stepped in the door, service was excellent. Having a laundry machine in the room was a huge bonus to refresh our suitcase. Location was wonderful; we only walked a few minutes to get anywhere. Highly recommended hotel in Wellington!”

“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”

“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.”

“Oscar returned from his stay looking relaxed and was very vocal about his time at the Pet Villa on the drive home. It is such a lovely setting and I am sure he will be happy to return there if we are going away in the future. Loved the Facebook photo updates and appreciated them being accommodating when our flight was delayed.”

“I took my puppy for his first groom. He was very nervous and anxious. But Peter took the time to calm him down and was very patient . Peter did an amazing job and I am so happy with the service. We will be coming back and recommending you!”

“Great hostel - stayed 3-4 times- easy check-in, friendly and helpful staff - good contact and communication. the facilities were clean and love the solid bunks with curtains - my first choice when in Whanganui-a-Tara! Tino pai!”

“Great kai for my dogs have been shopping here for years, will continue. One of the staff can be a bit abrupt and a know it all but I ignore her.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I normally "groom" my boy Monty myself but it is a bit of a chore so I talked to Dee and booked him in. Her salon is lovely and clean and is set up really well with plenty of room. She did a fab job on Monty who came out looking very neat and tidy and he smelled and felt lovely. I highly recommend Dee.”

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

“Great shop for pets. Good food items. Highly recommend. ❤️”

“Always the best service. My girl loves seeing Abi and always looks fabulous after her groom. Thanks Abi you're the best!”

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 :=)”
