Vetlife Oamaru is a veterinary clinic at 281 Thames Street in Oamaru North, and serves both pets and farm animals from Makikihi to Waitati. The website says it has provided services to North Otago since 2007, from a large, modern clinic. Its team of companion and production animal vets offers care in the clinic and on farms. Services include dentistry, diagnostics, in-house laboratory tests, x-ray, prescriptions, vaccinations, castrations and spaying, euthanasia and cremation, grooming, and wellness programmes. The large animal service includes nutrition advice, animal health planning and reproduction advice.
The clinic also sells pet foods, leads, collars, harnesses, toys, beds, flea and worm treatments, and production animal products such as drenches, vaccines and mineral mixes. The website says the business supports the North Otago SPCA. Because of H5N1 bird flu, the website asks people to phone before bringing in any sick or dead bird or wildlife, and to keep the animal outside until the clinic gives instructions. Vetlife has clinics across much of the South Island, the website says.
