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.

PET OWNERS

Winter is here and it’s looking like a cold one for some parts of Aotearoa! See your local VetEnt clinic for heat pads, jackets, and bedding to keep your pet warm.
Come in and make the most of the many deals we have on our premium pet food range. We are so confident that you (and your pet) will see value in these products that there is a 30-day money back guarantee. PetFirst members will even get 10% off!
Feeding a complete and balanced diet is very beneficial to older pets, as the food contains all the nutritional requirements for this life stage. Some of our diets offer joint support, which can help your older pet with mobility and movement.
During winter, special care is required for older animals or those with past injuries, as the cold leads to stiffness and emphasises the signs of arthritis. The VetEnt team can help you with identifying and managing your pets’ quality of life.
PetFirst is our membership programme for cats and dogs which provides an affordable solution to exceptional care for your family pet. It's a monthly plan and includes vaccinations, unlimited consultations, great discounts on services and products, plus much more. Read more about PetFirst and how to sign up.
