Vetora Putaruru is a veterinary clinic at 31–33 Kensington Street, Putāruru, in the South Waikato. It is part of Vetora, a New Zealand owned veterinary club formed by combining two farmer-owned clubs, one from Te Awamutu and one from the Bay of Plenty. The club says it reinvests its profits in its rural community, and it has more than 70 vets across its clinics. The Putaruru clinic serves Putāruru, Arapuni, Lichfield and Tirau. Its large animal team covers rural animal health 24 hours a day, and its companion animal vets offer routine surgery, dental surgery and X-ray.
For after-hours emergencies, the clinic gives its number as 07 883 7392. Complex small animal cases can be referred to the Waikato After Hours Veterinary Hospital. The website says farmer members get on-farm delivery, reduced visit fees, Farm Account payment terms, seminars and social events, and that members elect the club's board. Non-urgent enquiries can be sent through the website form and are answered on the next business day, Monday to Friday, and urgent queries should go to the local clinic. For a farmer or pet owner in Putāruru and the South Waikato who needs a clinic that covers both large and small animals, the clinic brings the two teams together.
