Henderson Valley Vet is a family-run veterinary clinic at 225 Henderson Valley Road, in Henderson Valley, West Auckland. Its distinctive feature is the separate rooms: cats and dogs each have their own consulting and hospital rooms and their own waiting areas, which the practice set up to reduce stress for animals. Dr Garry Cozens has practised in West Auckland for more than 20 years, and he grew up in the area. He was president of the Auckland branch of the New Zealand Veterinary Association for 12 years. Jenny is the practice manager, and nurses Nerys and Helena help with patients.
The clinic offers health checks, vaccinations, X-rays, dental work, surgery, nerve blocks, skin scrapings, cancer surgery and therapy, and health screens. It also sees rabbits, guinea pigs and rats, including for neutering, and it advises on special diets. Consultations run in the morning and in the evening.
The Henderson Valley Cattery offers communal and private family units, with a covered entrance and easy parking. The website describes its vaccination checks as more thorough than most, and says it has the largest scratching post in Auckland. Estimated prices as at 2026 start at $90.80 for cats and $107.90 for dogs, and they vary with the vaccine chosen.
