Pet Services

Both our Dannevirke and Pahiatua clinics have purpose-built small animal hospitals run by our passionate and professional veterinarians. We offer complete nose-to-tail care and support you with education, resources and products to ensure the best care for your pets.

Cats

We understand that a trip to the vet can make your cat nervous, so we've made sure our clinics are cat friendly!

This means that we have separate cat and dog waiting areas, 'cat trees' for you to rest their carry cage on (did you know that sitting up high gives cats a sense of security?) and soothing pheromone diffusers in our consult rooms.

Dogs

Whether your dogs are your workmate or best mate, we can keep them in top shape.

We understand you want the best care for your dogs through every stage of their life. We offer a range of medical, surgical and diagnostic services to make sure your dogs have a happy, healthy life.

Pocket Pets

For the passionate owner of any little pocket pet, Tararua Vets has included topical features on the care and maintenance of your furry and feathered little friends.

For the smaller, feathered, or furry members of the family. We offer a range of services from nutrition and grooming to vaccinations and seasonal issues.

Puppy preschool

Just as society expects our children to have good manners, we also need to teach our puppies how to behave in different situations, so that they grow into friendly and confident adult dogs.

Puppy Preschool helps to give puppies the necessary socialisation skills for them to learn to act in a socially acceptable manner. Classes will help teach your puppy to look to you for direction and teach owners how to influence and shape the behaviour of their growing puppy. Through this journey, owners will also receive a basic insight into the fascinating world of dog psychology.

Keeping our pets safe at Christmas

Here are some tips to keep your Christmas festive and fun but vet free… Many common foods and snacks we humans enjoy can be dangerous to our pets. Animals digest and metabolise food differently to humans which means what might be perfectly fine for us can be poisonous to them.
