It has always been a pleasure to bring our pets to Warkworth Vets since 1990. We have found that your front line staff always present a welcoming and helpful manner, even when boundaries are pushed to the limit with busyness. Your vets have always been understanding, compassionate and professional. We have absolute confidence in them. Recently our dog, Lulu, was put to sleep due to health issues. Our lovely vet offered to euthanise Lulu in our home. She helped make a very stressful time be both relaxed and peaceful for Lulu and myself. It was much appreciated.

We train and show reining horses at the highest level here in New Zealand and Australia with many state and national titles. This equine sport requires our horses to be at their very best mentally and physically, “the reining horse is a true super equine athlete.” We choose to use Warkworth Vets as our preferred and only vet and consultant in NZ to help keep our horses in tip top condition.

Since we moved to Warkworth 10 years ago, we have been taking our cats and dogs to Warkworth Vets for miner and major medical and surgical problems. We have been more than satisfied with the professional diagnosis and treatment, and the sympathetic nature of all the vets and nursing staff and the front of house reception. One can always get appointments immediately and “after hour call outs” are never a problem. We can more than recommend Warkworth Vets for it’s excellent care of animals.

As the owners of a boutique horse stud standing the ESNZ Showjumping Stallion of the Year for 2015/2016, Luego GNZ, we take great pride in the care and attention we give our horses. This of course would not be possible without the expertise of the amazing team at Warkworth Vets. In our first year of breeding we had a 100% success with Warkworth Vets in attendance every step of the way. On further occasions where we have required vet care for ailments or paddock accidents Warkworth Vets have supported us from the care they need to full recovery mode. We feel very blessed to have such a wonderful team at our doorstep.

When we moved up to this area over 20 years ago we had cause to source a veterinary clinic for our animals, needless to say we happened upon Warkworth Vets, since which time our various furry family members have become regulars there when required to have consultations etc.

Although visiting animal doctors is not always the happiest of occasions, the staff there have the absolute knack of empathising in every way possible if and when required. Friendly and caring, coupled with a great insight and understanding of what animal lovers are experiencing is apparently effortless for them, coming completely naturally and in a very reassuring and comforting manner.

Although over the 2 decades or more we have seen some staff changes there, everyone is always cut from the same familiar cloth, making the clinic such a warm and welcoming place to visit. Continuity of care and being greeted by your first name and nice smile, although may sound somewhat cliche, is absolutely what you need when concerned about the welfare of a family pet.

We would like to thank everyone at Warkworth Vets and Coast to Coast Vets for everything they have done and continue to do, and the kindness they have always shown towards our entire menagerie.

“We have been customers of Warkworth Vets for the past 4 years; we live on a lifestyle block with a varied array of pets. 3 ponies, 6 sheep, 2 pigs, poultry, 3 cats and 2 dogs.

I have relied on the knowledge and advice of Warkworth Vets for the health and well being of all my animals.

The staff are helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble either during business hours or after hours, and I have used their after hours service a lot!

Thanks Warkworth Vets. We know we can rely on your expertise.”

“I first started farming alpacas in 2004 and in 2006 Warkworth Vets/Coast to Coast Vets became my veterinary practice of choice. The reason I chose them over a more local vet is that, when asked if they were prepared to learn about the health and wellbeing of alpacas, these vets said “Yes!”. My local vet had not wanted to learn and I didn’t want to entrust the health of my alpacas to someone who wasn’t on board 100%. One of the vets at Warkworth Vets undertook to learn more about alpacas and together, over the years, we have learned a lot about the various ailments that can inflict alpacas.

Recently one of my alpacas got a very badly perforated ulcer in her eye and it looked as though the eye may have to be removed. Warkworth Vets used a grafting technique that had previously been used on horses, and not only did the alpaca retain her eye, she now also has some sight in it which is very gratifying.

In summary, the whole team at Warkworth Vets are very friendly and approachable and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
