Love this vet My cat has been banned from a couple of vets in her life time. The previous vets located in Riccarton had poorly handled her and didnt believe me when i said she doesnt like being handled. Then got attacked by my girl and they blamed her and banned us. At hornby they handle her so well that shes not stressed out or angry. Susan the lady I ask for every time is amazing. She cares about my cat and for months now has helped us as we take this Journey through cancer. I recommend this vet to everyone I know. I dont think that they are over priced. They are pretty fair prices. Everyone needs to remember Vets do not get any finacial help from the government. I will always come back to this vet they have a loyal client in me. Read Less
