Talk to one of our experienced and knowledgeable vets if you have any concerns regarding your pet’s health. A vet consultation can be booked between 8am -10am and between 2pm – 5pm. Our vets are usually preforming surgery between 10am and 2pm.

Please phone our usual clinic number (07 8713091) and our afterhours phone service will direct you/your call to the appropriate vet/veterinary clinic. Mostly, our companion animal afterhours service is covered by Waikato After Hours Veterinary Hospital in Hamilton, but this is subject to change.

Nurse consultations include dental checks, weight management, nutritional advice, nail clipping, post-operative checks and suture removal.

Vaccinations are recommended to prevent animals contracting certain diseases. Our core vaccines for dogs are against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus and Leptospirosis. Canine Kennel Cough vaccination is also available. For cats, our core vaccinations protect against Feline Viral Rhino Tracheitis, Respiratory Disease, Feline Panleukopenia and Feline Chlamydiosis. Vaccinations required for exporting animals (e.g. rabies) are also available but need to be organised a few days in advance.

Microchipping is now legally required in all non-working dogs and is necessary for registration with your local council. Microchipping of cats is not a legal requirement but highly recommended. It is a minor procedure that can be done without anaesthetic. The microchip is applied with a needle into the scruff of the neck and can be done at any age.

Oral care is important for your pets and with our dental facilities we can perform a routine scale and polish and tooth extractions if required.

Generally, de-sexing is recommended for animals not intended for breeding from 5-6 months of age. De-sexing has many health and behavioural benefits.

Our modern in-clinic diagnostic equipment allows us to complete a large number of routine tests on blood, urine and faeces as well as perform cytology on site. We also regularly send samples to laboratories where further tests or expert opinions are required.

We are fully equipped with digital radiography to enable imaging of both bones and some internal structures. Our senior veterinarian is fully qualified to perform PennHIP studies on canine hips. We have also recently upgraded our ultrasound equipment, enabling real-time imaging of internal soft tissue structures.

Both dog and cat grooming are available. Please be aware that cats may require sedation for grooming.

This consists of five evening sessions in which your puppy can socialise safely with other young puppies. This plays an invaluable role in helping your puppy develop safe and normal behaviours around new animals, people and environments. It is also a good opportunity to lay solid groundwork for obedience training and ask any questions you may have.

A designated surgical theatre is available for all sterile surgeries. These include routine de-sexing, orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery.

AI is usually performed when dogs cannot mate naturally. Fresh semen is collected and inseminated.

We have a registered vet that is able to aid you in exporting your pets to Australia.

When it is not practical or you are unable to bring your pet into the clinic, a vet can visit you at home for procedures that do not require surgery, such as vaccinations and euthanasia.

We are proud of our strong relationship with various veterinary specialists throughout New Zealand and are happy to offer referral when suitable.
