On my lunch break, I popped over to ask about a skin condition my dog has and one of the vets popped out to have a chat about my options. I think these guys really care about pets, they are in the right business. I see a steady stream of pets in and out of the clinic and it is obviously a much loved service for Hobsonville locals. There is plenty of parking and safe entry from the car to the vet clinic, thank goodness you wouldn't want to lose an animal on that busy Hobsonville Road. If you just moved into the area, or just got a pet, then give these guys a try, I would if I lived in the area.

The Glenfield Veterinary Clinic performed the spaying/neutering services at a reduced cost. Having raised cats, I knew their operation results were good as these kittens had tons of energy after their surgery, indicating a good procedure allowing for good healing. No moping around for a week, only a day or two of low energy healing time after a spaying, and ready to roll after a neutering.

Finally a designer dog store in Auckland! Munky's corner has got everything you could ever want to…read morepamper your pooch - raw treats, organic toys, designer dog beds, coats, leads and collars... the list goes on. A word of warning however, it is pricey but, coming from someone who has done a lot of research, all designer dog kit on the market is. Probably my favourite item at Munky's is their awesome oil skin dog coats - both stylish and practical... key when you spending 120 large. Who knows, maybe Luca will be in for a treat this winter. Less expensive and probably more appreciated by your pup is their range of dog bones. They've got duck necks, veal shins... the list going on! Great for keeping your dogs teeth in mint condition and also for occupying hyper-active puppies during work-hours!

The vets and vet nurses here are absolutely amazing!! I have had to bring my dog here more often…read morethat I would have liked to considering he is only 6. He has been here for 2 major operations and had other procedures such as dental work and x-rays done here as well as all the usual check up and vaccinations. The level of both professionalism and empathy that the staff have here is incredible. Our vet KV is the best, she takes such good care of my dog, she saved his life, I completely trust her with Sebastian. As well as the vet services, my dog is a sensitive soul who requires special Hill Diet formulated vet food. When ever we are due to run out the nurse calls us up to remind us to re order. When the food arrives she calls so we get it straight away. Their communication is great too, if you have an animal in their care they are available after hours, they really care about the animals and that is why they are so awesome at what they do.

So 13/01/2018 found me at Mt Eden Pet Doctors (first time I have ever been there) with my little 10…read moreMonth Persian kitten (Nyx) as she has breathing difficulty because of her pushed in nose, and needed a consultation to refer me to a specialist. When I arrived at the vets Nyx was quite distressed from having being taken far out of her comfort zone, not having her brother around didn't help either and with her breathing difficulties it wasn't exactly a great combination and at this point it started stressing me out. There was a little yorkshire terrier puppy in the waiting room too, who had not taken any notice of Nyx (nor Nyx of it) and there was nothing stressful nor any tension between the two. Out of nowhere this vet nurse shows up and snatches my carry-case with Nyx inside and says its no good to have the two in the same room then proceeds to put my cat away in an empty consultation room, and Nyx who was already stressed out at this point began TO ABSOLUTELY LOOSE HER MIND! She was screeching at the top of her voice and thrashing herself around her cage, something I have never ever ever seen her do before. The nurse just closed the door on Nyx and began chatting away with the owner of the puppy not paying any mind to Nyx and her clear distress to the situation. Let me stress once again SHE HAS BREATHING DIFFICULTIES!!!!! I barged in the room and made my presence known to little Nyx (taking her back to the waiting room despite the looks I received from the all knowing vet nurse) and immediately she calmed down, stopped screaming and thrashing around, and tamed it down to a occasional meow of distress. However because of the performance she was left completely unable to breath out of her nose, and was left panting like a dog... drooling and looking absolutely miserable. You'd think they would have had some sense of urgency about getting my cat seen to.... HALF AN HOUR AFTER OUR APPOINTMENT TIME they decide to see Nyx. HALF AN HOUR my baby was left GASPING for breath! The vet proceeded to spend a full 15 minutes (With Nyx still hyperventilating in her carrier) telling me about how terrible I am for owning a Persian, what an unfortunate breed they are, and how in her home country they are banned from advertising with these cats so as to prevent people from buying them. Im not sure why she decided that I was the perfect person to tell this too. I own two of them. And love them like my own flesh and blood. I tell everyone I know that I birthed these babies, and I'm not sure how she expected me to respond but she was greeted stoney silence and a face like thunder. At this point I was well beyond the point of leaving and screeching like a bleeding banchee on my way out whilst protectively clutching my baby to my chest. But I didn't want to have to put Nyx through any of this again. So I was relying heavily on this vet giving me a prognosis and referring me to a specialist. Finally she decided her speech was not going well and it was time to look at Nyx. Nyx stepped out of her carrier on the examination table and started walking towards me, but was rudely stopped by the vet who promptly stopped her in place by shoving her face straight into the table and holding her there. Once again should I mention NYX HAS A BREATHING PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN FLARED UP BECAUSE Of YOUR STAFF AND IGNORED FOR 30MINS, you are smothering her face down, causing her to panic once again!!!Every other vet visit she usually just sits on the table and looks annoyed while the vet pokes and prods, and this lady was being completely unreasonable. She then flicks Nyx's mouth open to look at her teeth. And promptly states "oh well that's no good" "Do you see her inflamed gums, there's a 70% chance she has feline HIV (FIV). There's no cure/treatment and she will eventually die after a few short years. Potentially the specialists might not be able to operate for her breathing condition dependent on the FIV results" She's said that they could test for it, but not today because they don't run tests over the weekend. So we are purely going on speculation over inflamed gums. She Listens to her chest and gasps at how flared up it is, that she can hear how Nyx is absolutely pulling for air (Nothing to do with her treatment while at this place ~sarcasm~) I spent the entirety of yesterday in tears and a state of dismay with thoughts of my babies withering away from a virus attacking their immune system and the terrible way Nyx was treated there. I couldn't say sorry enough to her! (TLDR) If you have a sensitive cat with separation anxiety, and prefer your bad news be delivered to you in a sensitive manner, not 100% based off speculation, without option of further clarification on the matter .... Pet Doctors Mt Eden is not the vet for you! In fact I would not recommend ANY animal be treated by them..

We were driving along in a Petworld van, and he was in his Petworld shirt, and we hit a cat on the Pakuranga highway. While striking animals with vehicles isn't top on my humour list, there was certainly some black humour in watching the Petworld-clad man run around a park trying to find the poor animal. By the way, the cat was found in the end and Petworld man looked after it and found its home; it all ended up a very sweet story and a good show of how Petworld looks after animals... just what unfortunate circumstances for it to happen in. After seeing this, and seeing the duty of care these animal lovers have for the pets in store, I know heading to Petworld Pakuranga should be your first stop if you're looking for an already loved and cared for pet.

As I was heading out the door I noticed they had animals for sale, so I went and said hello to a bunch of sleeping kittens, one puppy and some beautiful birds and rabbits.

Meryl will give you all the advice you need, and she won't let those bunnies go until they are old enough, big enough and healthy enough.
