Brilliant team! Allowed me to check up a abandoned cat I found (checked for microchip, sex and age) without a appointment, on a Saturday morning. Great service and I will definitely be back. (P.S Abandoned cat 🐈 is now part of my family)

We sent this to Takanini Vets associates. To Takanini Vets. Recently we required the services of vets with bulldog knowledge. Our French Bulldog Mojo had suffered a spine problem. While our local vets were helpful in the first instance we decided that given the reputation of Takanini Vets we would make an appointment. We phoned on 31st of December and spoke with reception. The service we received during that phone call was excellent. The woman who took the call answered all our questions with ease. She really put our minds at rest about our dog. At no time did we fell that the time we were taking was in anyway a problem. An appointment was made for Mojo to have a consultation with the a vet who knew a lot about French Bulldogs. We arrived at the vets on Thursday 8th. Mojo was seen and x-rays taken of his spine. Again the service we received was excellent. All the information was great from everyone was superb. So from Scott Angela and Mojo thank you very much for being amazing and making us fell so welcome. Please pass this onto everyone at Takanini vets. The work you do and the attitude you all brought to helping Mojo has made this family very happy.

I feel we’ve supported & been great customers with all our pets to this clinic. Was advised to bring my daughter’s cat Fluffy in between 8&9am for the day. Came to drop her off then told to they will let the vet know. Sometime had passed and still waiting. Not sure why as told previously to drop Fluffy off. I’m feeling sick myself and can no longer wait, finally go to reception to let them know what’s happening and offered other days to come back to drop Fluffy off again aka sit and wait basically so arranged for the Monday morning now. No communication as to why the wait. Watched other people come after us and get to go through promptly. I find out my daughter called and was told it’s like going to the doctors clinic, if that’s the case then charge the same fees as a doctor and make the clinic more comfortable.

Our senior furbaby Bear became ill with cancer. We sought treatment for him and through considered and wonderful care, we had him for almost four more weeks. When the time came to let him go, the vet was very compassionate and caring. It is never easy to have to say goodbye, but the treatment Bear and we received made it more peaceful and less traumatic than I expected it to be. Even once he was gone, and I passed him back to the vet in his blanket, she gently cradled him like he was still with us. She treated us, and more importantly Bear, with the same dignity and compassion that she had when he was still with us. The same care and compassion was displayed by the person who gave me Bears ashes when I picked them up yesterday. I can't express how much I appreciate the staff here. I thoroughly recommend bringing your furbabies here for whatever treatment they need.
