If I could do a minus 2 for a rating I would. This vet almost made my friend remove her dog's dew claw when it could have been fixed by a simple clip and file. When she tried to book him in for this un-needed op, they gave her a date a month away. So I reccommended Rappaw Tawa, where she got a quicker appointment and they took the time to see if a clip and file will work first, so much cheaper than the $900 operation which would have removed a 9 year old dog's dew claw! That's like taking off your child's thumb! So my friend got real service from vets who care about the outcome for the animal more than the money they might make! Care vet phoned her and asked why she moved to Rappaw, in response she said she had lost confidence in them due to how long she had to wait to see someone, they proceeded to call her a liar by saying they had offered her an earlier date why did she not take it? I am so upset and disgusted at their customer service as well as their poor advice to my much loved friend and her fur family - never ever go to this place is my strongest opinion. I do plan to call this vet to discuss their lack of good service and advice.

Where do I start with CareVets Porirua....
This spectacular team of fantastic people saved our precious fur baby from an almost certain death. We couldn't be more thankful for their tireless efforts in nursing our beautiful Kitteh back to health. They worked late constantly over the 3-4 weeks of taking out Cat (Thor) in to see them. They treated us all with so much respect and understanding, Giving us great guidance and support though out the whole process. We felt so comfortable with leaving Thor in their care (Which isn't easy for us) which says a lot for how much we trust them.
The Team Cares soooooo much about their patients and their Jobs, they took photos for us when we were at work and they even went out of their way to print photos. They are honestly just spectacular!! I wouldn't take my Cat anywhere else. And I will be suggesting them to everyone I know.
Thank you so much team. We couldn't Thank you enough! Having our beautiful Kit Meow ( AKA: King Kitteh, AKA: The Loaf ) back at home means the absolute world to us.

The vet at Porirua vet clinic is absolutely amazing. She has always been nothing more than kind, supportive, understanding and her love for animals goes further than many people. When my little dog was really sick the vet rang us regularly to check on her, she didn't have to, she cared. In my book someone who does that is someone I want looking after my little furbaby.
Not only is the vet awesome then nurses and staff are too, they are super lovely and very easy to get on with. I love Carevets and wouldnt change unless the vet and staff leave and are replaced by idiots!

Dog had a small tear in his ear and the examining vet wanted to cut his ear off, said it wouldn't heal. I took my dog home and bandaged it myself. Healed perfectly, not even a scar.
