General Info
We know your pet is a loved and important member of your family, and that you want them to enjoy a long and happy life. Our veterinarians and nurses provide the highest level of care whilst treating every pet with dignity and compassion.
The hospital has been designed to make your pet's visit as comfortable as possible. Just as we don't always like going to the doctor, we know that pets don't always like going to the vets! Our waiting room is light and spacious with separate dog and cat wards so your pet can recuperate in comfort.
Our vets will discuss treatment options, provide transparent pricing and explain clinical plans, so you can make an informed choice about the treatment your pet receives.

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

This vet practice never ceases to amaze me with their professional yet friendly, compassionate care. So appreciative of how my 11 year old and 7 month old twins get the best care anyone could hope for. They are also so understanding of my tendency to be over protective and emotional and the lovely ladies on the desk are always patient with me. Andrew, Emily & team - thank you so much. Read Less
