Local vets -  nationwide  support

At VetEnt veterinary clinics, your animals are in safe hands. Our vets are not only great with animals, we’re great with people, too.

 

We’re experts in listening, advising and supporting optimal animal health in both livestock and pets. You’ll find our veterinarians with their sleeves rolled up, working in modern vet clinics alongside rural communities throughout New Zealand. Even though we have clinics nationwide, we are owned by local people who live in your area. We have shareholders both young and old, female and male, veterinarians and non-veterinarians from Otago to Waikato and many places in between. Your local VetEnt veterinary clinic has the support of 75 vets nationwide.

  

VetEnt stands for "Veterinary Enterprises Group." We are New Zealand’s largest vet company, operating from 21 vet clinics around the clock. The combined knowledge pool and purchasing power of the VetEnt group guarantees you the best expertise and advice and product availability even in times of high demand. Find out more about our 24/7 vet clinic group services from our dairy veterinarians, cattle and sheep team and pet vets or find your nearest veterinary clinic.

Seasonal Tips - Spring

  • Calf and heifer vaccinations and drenches
  • Body condition scoring mid lactation
  • Doing milk cultures on those mid lactation mastitis case
  • Spore counting and zinc treatments for Facial Eczema if you are in the North Island

SHEEP & BEEF FARMERS

  • Have you checked that your drench works? Talk to your local vet about setting up a drench test for the summer.
  • Give us a ring to get your Animal Health Plan done to comply with the Farm Assurance Programme.
  • Watch your young stock for any sign of worms.
  • Have you checked that your drench works? Talk to your local vet about setting up a drench test for the summer.
  • Get your docking/tailing order form to your local clinic.
  • New calf dehorning regulations came into effect 1st October 2019. Ring your local clinic to find out how these will affect you and your herd.
  • What fly products are you using for prevention over the summer months?
  • Give us a ring to get your Animal Health Plan done to comply with the Farm Assurance Programme.

PET OWNERS

  • With the warm weather, you should be thinking about flea control for your pets. Our teams are trained in flea control to assist you with choosing the right product for your pet and we offer a great deal of knowledge around flea treatment. For pets who don’t appreciate topical preparations, there are tablet preparations that offer excellent flea control as well.

  • Warmer weather also means that cats will be coming into season. With female cats in season, this means the tom cats will start fighting over them. This will in turn cause issues with cats getting bitten, and the bites can turn into nasty abscesses. There is an increased risk of Feline Aids being transmitted through cat bites, and even your pet cat is at risk if he/she gets in the way of a cat fight. To stop the problem of unwanted litters of kittens, and the risk of Feline Aids, we strongly recommend that all male and female cats are desexed.

  •  Adult dogs and cats should be wormed routinely every month. Unfortunately, not all worming products are created equally. We urge you to use a veterinary endorsed product for maximum effectiveness against internal parasites- some of which can infect humans!

 

Careers

VetEnt offers great career opportunities and development to all our staff and is a proud supporter of diversity and equality. We place great importance on recruitment policies, training and development programs whilst fostering a supportive culture to ensure that all employees enjoy the opportunity to succeed.
