Over a period of Three years the staff at the Vets in Leeston have been amazing, The staff are one of the most helpful, that I have dealt with. From three dogs bought from Australia, to lots and lots of dexsexing of stray cats, and now our new dog. Keep up your great work.

Highly recommend this vet to anyone in need! We have just moved to the area, and after needing urgent vet care I rushed our dog to this vet right at their opening time. They luckily had no bookings and graciously squeezed us in an immediate appointment. During this visit, and our others following, the vets, the receptionists and the nurses have all been incredible. So caring, friendly and welcoming. I am so impressed at their level of care and the personal touches, such as the follow-up phone calls, checking in with me throughout the day of his surgery, handwriting our dogs name in a beautiful font on his medicine bag, and putting a photo of our dog on his aftercare information. It really shows the love that goes into their work. I know my dog has been in safe hands and I am so grateful! Highly recommend! Thank you team 💕

We’ve had such a great experience with our local vets and can’t recommend them enough. The team is always so kind, patient, and genuinely caring with our animals, which makes a huge difference. They take the time to explain everything clearly and never make you feel rushed or pressured. You can tell they truly love what they do, and it shows in the way they treat both pets and their owners. It’s such a relief knowing our pets are in safe, capable hands. Thank you for always going above and beyond 🐾💙

Staff were fantastic, caring and very professional, they took care of Ollie (doggy) with kindness and explained everything to me and so I felt at ease. Highly recommend, they are now my new vets and happy to travel 40mins to see them. Thank you so much 😊

Vetent made quick appointments for us. They listened and then treated my dog appropriately and explained the after effects for me to follow. I've had other pets treated there too and everyone was always friendly and proffesionable. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
