A purpose-built veterinary clinic on Carlton Avenue in Gonville, Whanganui, that treats far more than household pets. The clinic's website says it cares for cats, dogs, alpacas, cattle, sheep, horses, rabbits, pocket pets, birds, fish and reptiles, so farm and lifestyle-block animals are as much part of the work as the family dog.
The clinic opened in October 2012 as the successor to Heads Road Vet Clinic, which had served Whanganui for well over 35 years, and it carries the same boutique approach. It offers referral services for dermatology, orthopaedics, emergency care, MRI and CT, and it lists small animal reproductive services among its treatments. Its nurses include staff with emergency and critical care experience.
Opening is Monday to Friday. Saturday and Sunday are closed, with emergency service only. For after-hours care, the number to call is 06 3490486. The clinic takes MasterCard, Visa, EFTPOS, cash, direct credit and internet banking, and there is ample off-street parking.
Our pick in Gonville for someone with a pet, or a farm animal, that may need a referral or emergency care.
