A veterinary clinic at 8 Straven Road in central Riccarton, Christchurch, led by Dr Michael Averill, with veterinarians and veterinary nurses. The clinic sees cats, dogs, birds, rabbits and guinea pigs, and it says it can work with most small animals. Its services include routine care, microchipping, desexing, dental work, vaccinations for cats and dogs, and full surgery for emergency and more complex procedures. It sells a range of pet foods and premium diets, gives dietary advice, and stocks some toys.
The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 7pm, and it is a member of the Christchurch After Hours Veterinary Centre. Parking is plentiful off the street. We hear H5N1 bird flu has been detected in New Zealand, so anyone with a sick or dead bird or wildlife should phone the clinic before bringing it in, and keep the animal outside until they have advice.
