A community vet clinic in Ōtaki, at 269 Mill Road, where the team aims for each client to see the same vet every visit. The clinic is sunny and calm, and its waiting room has a large range of retail products to browse, with treats from reception to keep pets busy. The clinic has modern diagnostic equipment and an in-house laboratory, so most tests are done on site. The team is led by Angela, who set up the original Otaki Veterinary Centre in 1995 and has a special interest in surgery, dentistry and oncology.
Services include medical, diagnostic and surgical care, wellness plans, and food and retail products. Call 06 364 6941 to book an appointment. We hear that bird flu (H5N1) has been detected in New Zealand, so phone before bringing any sick or dead bird or wildlife to the clinic, and keep the animal outside until a vet gives instructions.
