Catering to local lifestyle blocks, high-country farms, and family pets, this mixed-practice clinic on Benmore Place provides both in-clinic care and on-farm visits across the Mackenzie District. Inside, the premises feature an open showroom, dedicated consultation and quiet rest and recovery rooms, a full surgery, and in-house diagnostic tools including digital x-ray and blood testing machines. Routine small-animal care covers vaccinations, worming, microchipping, desexing, and dental surgery, alongside compassionate end-of-life care. For production stock and horses, the team handles pregnancy scanning, metrichecking, disbudding, bull testing, de-velveting, and herd health assessments, with an on-site retail shop supplying drench, feed, pet foods, and accessories.
Travellers passing through the South Island frequently highlight the clinic’s prompt assistance during pet emergencies, praising the staff for squeezing in sick dogs at short notice with genuine warmth and empathy. Dog owners also speak highly of the considerate, unhurried care shown during distressing times when saying a final goodbye to an elderly pet. Being in a rural hub where the next town is miles away makes their comprehensive on-site surgical and diagnostics setup especially vital for sudden illnesses. Our pick in Twizel for dependable veterinary care when you are living locally or on the road with pets.
