East Coast Farm Vets is a locally owned farm veterinary clinic at 349 Childers Road in Gisborne. The clinic describes itself as the only dedicated large animal clinic in the Gisborne region, and it covers Gisborne, the East Coast and the wider Wairoa district through its sister clinic, Wairoa Farm Vets. Its team of vets, support staff and a sheep conveyor team handle farm work, and the clinic also treats working dogs in a purpose-built surgery. Vets visit farms in recognisable work utes. The clinic says its approach is built on fast response times and follow-up after treatment. It began in 2010, working out of the back of a truck, and it was named the Gisborne Westpac Business Awards Supreme Award winner in 2012, and a category winner in 2015.
