All the team at Orewa Beach Vet Clinic are some of the most caring and compassionate people in animal care. They not only care for your pet but care about owners. I have been with them since they opened their doors and over the many years they have never failed to be caring, knowledgeable and very capable in diagnosing issues. When having been faced with the βhorribleβ decision to put a pet to sleep they gave me compassion and kindness every step of the way. Even sending a condolence card to us. I found that incredibly comforting when suffering my loss. Highly recommend this practice. God bless you all. Read Less

Amazing team who really know what they're doing. They've been taking care of our little Jack Russell for years and managed to get him through some terrible times. Their staff are so welcoming and treat the animals very well. I'm rather sure my dog loves Cathy (the vet) more than he loves me. Read Less

I would like to say what an amazing group of people that work at Orewa Beach Vets my experience with taking our dog to them this week was so pleasing as my dog has previously had bad experience which left very nervous & anxious so for him they persevered with him until we got a result so I would recommend them to everyone. So a big thank you.
Kind regards

These guys are the best! They have a real caring vibe, participate in community pages to educate the public and provide excellent care to their "furry" clientele. 10/10 would come again.

I have had animals (mainly, but not exclusively, dogs) in my life for the last 60+ years so have obviously come into contact with, and needed the care given by, many veterinary practices over those years. I came over to NZ a couple of years ago and because we had just 'lost' our two Golden Retrievers prior to that, it was always the plan to puppy walk for the Blind Foundation (now being far too old to responsibly see another pup through to end of life and not wanting to cope with another 'end' story). I CANNOT praise this practice enough. We are in and out of there whenever the pups need attention and I cannot fault the staff in ANY way - from the welcome as you open the door (or as they answer the phone) to the kindness, expertise and level of care given by each and every one of them at every stage. I am impressed - and thankful. Read Less

Big thanks to Matt, Rachelle, Jan, Wendy and the rest of the team for the wonderful care they gave our little Louie today. He came in for a routine neuter but also had to have a retained tooth removed and copious amounts of ear fur plucked. We were anxious leaving him but we are so pleased that he was so well cared for and apparently got lots of cuddles too! Communication at all stages was excellent and Louie has bounced right back already! Thanks again for looking after our little guy so well. Read Less
