Northlands Animal Care Hospital was first established in the Papanui area in 1981. We then outgrew our original location (opposite Northlands Mall) and in 2000 moved into a brand new purpose built hospital, which complies with strict “American Animal Hospital Association Standards” and is located on the corner of Cranford Street and Main North Road. Your pet’s health and well-being are our highest priority! It is our goal to preserve and strengthen that, using modern veterinary medicine with good old-fashioned care, compassion and respect!! Your pet has the benefits of the latest medical technology at Northlands Animal Care Hospital. Our caring Veterinarians and staff have a fantastic level of expertise. Our commitment for all of our staff is to continuing education, with training in superior technology and the latest medicines, diagnostics and procedures. We are happy to answer all questions about your pet’s health anytime! Our surgical procedures use state of the art equipment in which we perform a wide range of procedures from soft tissue and cancer treatment to more advanced orthopaedic and reconstructive operations. We have a modern onsite lab that gives us a complete blood picture and internal profile in less than 15 minutes. Our radiology suite provides while you wait x-rays. We also offer CT and ultrasound imaging. We can then develop an appropriate treatment plan for your pet. We welcome all new puppies and kittens into our practice and we have wellness plans for pets of every age. We believe that client education is the first and most important step to promoting excellent pet health. We offer up to date educational material for clients to take home. So feel free to give us a call, drop us an email, or call in we are sure you will like what you see!!

Excellent service from the team at Northlands Animal Care. My dog can be a bit nervous around new people but our vet was fantastic at making him feel at ease! A great experience for us both.

Euan is the most caring vet I've ever dealt with. Our purebred golden lab puppy arrived from the Breeder at 8 weeks old small, underweight and full of intestinal worms. We took Daisy to Euan as I had a feeling after two days with us something wasn't right. We went to Euan as they are closer to home rather than the vet I'd previously used my entire life even with my parents as a child. I felt disloyal in doing so but so glad we did. Euan put Daisy on a plan that we religiously followed along with regular vet appointments and follow ups. I was very impressed with Euan calling us to check on Daisy's progress and this was even more impressive as over the Christmas holiday period. Daisy is now three months old and thriving! We have obviously put in a great deal of love and effort but Euans expertise has been gold! Now our regular vet. I would not hesitate in recommending Euan and his practice. Thank youRead Less
