Vetlife offers complete, optimum care for pets and for farm/production animals.
We deeply understand the bond between pet owners and their beloved animals. At Vetlife, we offer warm, personalised care in our clinics to ensure your companions receive the attention they deserve. Additionally, we have three conveniently located catteries for your feline friends. For those with farms or lifestyle blocks, our dedicated team members are available to visit your property and treat your stock on-site. We work with you to develop a plan that maximises our time on-farm, ensuring a tailored solution to keep your animals at peak production.
With clinics in Canterbury, MacKenzie, Otago, Nelson/Tasman and Marlborough, we can help you in your community.

With five decades of experience and working owners, we are deeply rooted in the community. Being run by veterinarians, we have a thorough understanding of local animal needs, issues, and deficiencies. Our focus is on the long-term health and well-being of animals within your community. We are your animal health partners, committed to delivering the best outcomes for your animals through routine treatments, emergency surgeries, retail needs within our clinics, and expert advice on increasing on-farm production.
