One of the worst vet in NZ, they rush into things and not interested in looking after your loved ones. Our dog been with them for over 8 years. It was all good when he never needed any care but as he got all old he needed some level of care which he never got. Last year they did several blood test too find why liver enzymes are high. They kept repeating the tests but could not find the problem. All of a sudden our dog dropped and they told us he is diabetic. They ignored all symptoms and never warned us. After all that we left under their care until today they have not been able to control his sugar levels. Now our dog is developing blindness symptoms which Andrew the vet did not even think to check in last weeks appointment. If you want reactive vet who treats the animal after the problem and ignore symptoms choose them. I will also explore legal routes to complain about them to save others. Read Less

I absolutely Love these Vets... my experience always means more then money to me and they make me and my pets feel so comfortable they put me at ease and they do their best. I have had a unfortunate run of bad luck with my pets and they have been there the whole way helping me so grateful and thankful for their kindness and generosity in allowing me to pay off large bills that I can't afford on the spot...

First time I went to them was to have my cat Shima put down and they were so sensitive and caring. Did exceptionally well with my cat. As soon as I arrived they put me straight into a consulting room so I wasn't a blubbery mess in front of the public in the waiting room which meant such a lot to me. I'm now registered with them to back if and whenever my dog may require them. Recommend them 100% Read Less

A little faster service or acknowledgement of their clients would be great. Vets are ok but not particularly experienced all rounders. Have had some vague diagnosis and antibiotics thrown about. Otherwise try these tests.... Read Less

I have been with Veterinary Associates for upwards of 30 years. I have found them to be very caring and compassionate ready to do more than others would. Their costs appear to be competitive and unlike a lot of places they are willing to make arrangements for Customers to pay off large balances. Let's face it Veterinarys aren't cheap.The equipment is mostly modern an up to date. Read Less

The vets here have looked after our dog so well, they are lovely, helpful and are happy to discuss our dog's health at length and answer any questions we have. They are also very reasonably priced compared to other vets we have used in the past or quotes we have gotten. The vets are also very experienced, our dog required surgery which was only available at 2 surgeries in Auckland, Vet Associates being one of them. They did an amazing job of it. I would highly recommend Veterinary Associates to anyone. Read Less

We have been going to Veterinary Associates (Takanini) for about 10-years and have always been very happy with the vets and nursing team. Over the years the team have treated our dog family with great care and attention and I would highly recommend them. They have always been very compassionate when we have had to make the sad decision to say goodbye to one of our furry family, and we really appreciate that. Read Less

De sexing mishap The experience not only was not only traumatizing for our dog but also unnecessary. We were unaware that she had already been de sexed as she was a stray and no previous owner to inform us of her history. I was told when I picked her up that the vet noticed a scare that would suggest that she has already had the procedure done. The vet continued with the operation even though there was uncertainty about whether the scare which had a strong implication it relating to the operation already occurring. Thus our dog was subjected to an unnecessary procedure, pain and recovery as well as we were charged the full amount even though the vet had knowledge that our dog possibly had already been de sexed. We would of expected some sort of communication before the operation, should the vet have noticed the scared and maybe alternative measures to investigate whether she was de sexed would of be more sufficient. So to avoid any unnecessary pain to your pet go somewhere else. Read Less
