Jacqueline Law Posted on Google 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: A very positive visit to the Vet today for wee Mango, our cat. She is a beautiful little girl who loves her family dearly but is very timid and distrustful of strangers. As we are new to the district this was a real first for her. However, the vets were so gentle and understanding and everything went well. She was given a thorough examination and even mundane tasks like a flea treatment, worming and claw trimming went without incident. As well, the Vets have signalled a particular concern for kidney disease, judging by the seemingly enlarged pupils Mango displayed. Hopefully, this will be resolved when we return in ten days for further investigation, following the results of the blood tests and another peek at what we have always considered her gorgeous big eyes!

Central Vets Palmerston North
Central Vets Palmerston North

Hi Jacqueline, Thank you so much for sharing Mango’s story with us
We’re really glad her first visit went smoothly, especially as we know how stressful new environments can be for timid cats. It’s lovely to hear she felt safe enough for us to carry out everything she needed so calmly.
We’ll be looking forward to seeing her again soon and following up on those results — she truly does sound like a beautiful little girl with some very special (and very lovely!) big eyes

Susan Moeahu Posted on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Well....it has to be one of the saddest days to put down our beloved cat that our family has loved for the last 14 years. Central Pets put me to the front of the line that morning and I 'm talking about 8:30am after showing up at around 8am telling them I needed them to see my cat because there was something wrong with my cat. So I rushed home to get my cat came back and was seen to pretty much immediately. The vet nurse/lady was bloody lovely and helpful and let me know what the alternatives were for me . I chose and she was very supportive of my decision. She even helped with the paperwork as I had left my glasses at home and I got through that part with her reading and pointing out what I needed.A huge hi-5 to Central Vets for their thoughtfulness and support through this sad ordeal. Tank you all!

Natashaa Fielding Posted on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: The team at Central Vets are true animal lovers. The clinic environment is always calm, clean and never chaotic—which makes a huge difference for anxious pets. I’ve called them multiple times for phone advice regarding minor concerns, and they are always happy to help. My dog lives for the 'good boy' treats they keep on hand! I also really appreciate their transparency with costs and their awesome payment options, which makes it easier to provide the best care possible. They treat my dog like he’s one of their own and it is evident that they prioritise animal comfort as well is their health. Bountys Mum

The “good boy” treats are a big hit around here, and your pup sounds like a very deserving recipient! We also truly appreciate your kind words about our transparency with costs and payment options, making quality care accessible is something we care deeply about.

Reviews from long-past visits don’t reflect the care and service provided by our current team today. Once again thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous, friendly lovely staff Casper doesn’t mind his occasional visit I would recommend this clinic to everyone. I’ve been a client for about 10 years now. I adopted a kitten 9 years ago from them and then a week later a 14 year old cat who needed a home. I was fortunate to have Garry until aged 19 when he crossed the rainbow bridge. Jasmine is still going strong at age 9. These guys genuinely care about your animal. Very lucky to have found them

Fantastic experience: The service at Central Vets is amazing. I phoned first thing for an urgent appointment for our sick cat. They fit us in straight away, and Taylor was super informative and helpful during the initial appointment. Unfortunately, it wasn't good news and we had to say goodbye. Again, Taylor and the team were so supportive and respectful. We got our cat cremated and appreciated the additional touches when we collected his ashes. The communication throughout was top notch and we appreciated the compassion shown. I would 100% recommend Central Vets.

Coolest people ever :)

Fantastic experience: Thank you to the whole team at Central Vets. Over the 8 years we have lived in Palmy and Rego's numerous visits and overnight stays (due to losing scraps and latterly sickness) the team has always been professional and treated us and our cat with kindness. Yesterday I collected Rego's ashes and was overwhelmed by the kindness shown. Along with the ashes were cards with his paw prints and nose print along with some of his fur encased in a key ring along with a beautifully written card. I can't thank you enough for this thoughtfulness and your service over the years - Rego's Mum

We are deeply honoured to have cared for Rego over the years, and it means a lot to hear that our team’s efforts to support both him and your family have made a difference. Saying goodbye is never easy, and we’re glad that the paw prints, nose print, and keepsakes could offer a little comfort during this difficult time. Rego will always be remembered fondly by all of us here at Central Vets.

With sympathy and gratitude,
The Central Vets Team

Fantastic experience: We have been to Central Vets since we have our girl Emma. From our first visit to get her vaccination done, then desex and recovery etc, teams are professional. No matter the receptionist or vets they are very lovely and very helpful for providing information, services and follow up. Took her to do the hygiene couple months back and gosh was a great job the team has done! Emma was great before even doing microchip, but after one night of emergency vet treatment at Massey, she turns to a little devil for future vet visits. However, I always want to say a big thank you to Central vets team on handling crazy Emma. The treatment the suggestion are just right to listen. She is now 4 and half, health from her blood test (again such a great job getting it done while Emma is out of patience) We wish Central vets all the best and thank you for your services! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Central Vets has been our vet for over eight years! From caring for our oldest family dog Daisy who is eight years old to our newest member Zoe who just turned one year old, they have helped us ensure all of our pets are in good health and remain that way. Services are timely and convenient; vets are friendly and listen well to our concerns and there is always a pleasant voice on the other end of the line when we call! Very thankful for their support.

Fantastic experience: We had awesome service for our dog Ruby. A very friendly greeting at the desk, then had a lovely vet examine our girl. We were prescribed the medication needed. Followed up the next day with a phone call to ask how Ruby was doing. We had a very fast Improvement and we're very happy with our experience at central vets.

Fantastic experience: My little Mya doggy was 16, she had started having seizures and didn't recover. I had to assist her to heaven. The beautiful caring thoughtful vet lady,(sorry can't remember your name, but will never forget you) was amazing, she was very supportive, very caring, and couldn't have asked for more in all she did for us and giving our beloved family member a painless send off. Thank you from our family.

I remember Mya — she was such a sweetheart. I’m so sorry for your loss. It was an honor to help her pass peacefully and be there with you in that moment. Sixteen years is such a beautiful lifetime of love. Sending you and your family much comfort and gentle thoughts.

Fantastic experience: Greeting at the door, happy friendly helpful staff a great sense of humour. I had my old girl put to rest. Vet looked at her and me discussed my options and left us to think. I am happy I am a client of Central Vets and that they care for all my animals. In my time of grief my eyes would not stop leaking and they took good care of me too. That was 2022 Now Sept 25 My kitten Mana desex, flea tx, vaccinations, microchip… he arrived to a happy team … I picked him up still a happy team, next day follow up call. Great stuff thank you. We appreciate you all.
