Vetlife offers complete, optimum care for pets and for farm/production animals.
We understand the emotional connection pet owners have with their animals, and we provide warm, personalised care within our clinics to ensure your companions receive the care they deserve. Vetlife also offers a number of catteries in convenient locations. If you have a farm or a lifestyle block, Vetlife has dedicated team members who can come out to your property and treat your stock on-site. We can establish a plan to maximise our time on-farm, thus ensuring we create a solution tailored to your operation to keep your animals at peak production.
With clinics in Canterbury, MacKenzie, Otago, Nelson/Tasman and Marlborough, we can help you in your community.
Being locally owned and operated, Vetlife has extensive knowledge of the Otago, Canterbury, MacKenzie and Marlborough regions. Vetlife is well established with four decades of operation under its belt, and we have working owners. As we are run by vets, we have a thorough understanding of local animal needs, issues and deficiencies, and our focus is on the long-term health and well-being of animals within your community. We are your animal health partners and we will deliver the best outcome for your animals, whether that be by routine treatments, emergency surgery, retail needs within a clinic or expert advice on increasing production on-farm.
LET US DRIVE THE
EXTRA MILE FOR YOU
“I have been going to Vetlife for the last 4 years with my cats. The level of knowledge and consistency of care that I have had across all 4 cats over the years has been amazing. The vet nurse staff take time to get to know you and are genuine and Laura our vet is just as genuine and she is always happy to answer all my questions. When we had to say goodbye to 2 of our elderly cats they were the biggest comfort and handled the emotionally wrecked me well. They were enthusiastic and excited for me when we finally got our new kitten and have been with us every step of the way. I honestly cannot praise you guys enough. Thank you. ”
