Fantastic experience: Marg and the team were great with the care and treatment of our beloved miniature schnauzer 'Tiki Handsome'. From stress station last Sunday to this morning 22.02.26 - YAY Happy Days are back! He has made a full recovery. Marg's evaluation/treatment plan was thorough and spot on. We can't thank them enough and are so, grateful for their service to the pet community. God Bless.

Anita Fraser Posted on Google 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: Throughly impressed by the service received. Brought my dog in with an eye injury caused by our cat. Kate, the attending vet was so lovely! She was really informative and offered really sound advice and care. Normally I walk away from an after hours vet with a huge bill, but because Kate was practical and didn’t push any unnecessary stuff on us, a couple of hundred for the night to get my little dude’s eye checked out and prescribed some medication was nothing! Abbigal at reception was also warm and welcoming! Thank you again team!

Natala Morgan Posted on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: The team at the After Hours clinic are amazing. Our kitty Texas was a repeat visitor, as we came in three times over four days. We felt very comfortable and reassured every time we showed up. Even when it was busy, they made time to take him out back upon arrival to check him to make sure he was stable. By the last appointment, Texas ended up being partially blocked and was treated by Leo very quickly and has been happy and healthy ever since (touch wood). Thank you guys so much!

Fantastic experience: Our family would like to say a big thank you to manukau after hours clinic, our dog thor would have died if it wasn't for their quick action and great aftercare. Thank you so much Leo for operating on him, when we took him for his 10day check and stitches removal at our own vet, they commented what a fantastic job was done. He is now sleeping on all of our beds and spoilt rotten, he's like his old self and eating like a horse. Thank you, thank you, thank you

Brad Mower Posted on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Having an emergency in the middle of the night after our dog ran through a closed ranch slider, cutting herself badly, was a rather traumatic experience to say the least. The team were fantastic throughout from initial consult on phone right they way through surgery and discharge. Could not have asked for better! Thank you so much for being there in our time of need.

Hi Brad, unexpected trips to the vet are never pleasant, especially the 'messy' ones with bleeding involved. We are glad we could support you and your dog through this and getting them back home with family where they belong.

Lucky Peng Posted on Google 4 months ago

Positive experience: Overpriced, but then again, it is an after hour vet.

Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic
Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic

Hi lmao, yes our costs are usually higher than regular vets. Like all afterhours businesses there is a premium for night/weekend and public holiday care. We hope that your pet is doing well after their visit.

Eythan Hingaia-Hoete Posted on Google 4 months ago

Negative experience: Took my partners cat here in the middle of the night as she was having bad diarrhoea with blood in it, Nurses told us shes perfectly healthy and gave us anti biotics… LATER ON found out 2 days later she has a swollen tummy, parasites and possibly worms?!?! WTH PEOPLE? make me pay $411 for a misdiagnosis and now i have to fork out $500 more to get rid of it PROPERLY!

Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic
Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic

Hi Eythan, we can't find an animal associated with your name visiting us. please reach out to us at [email protected] with your pets name so we can respond more specifically to your concerns.
Prescribing antibiotics is not done lightly (antibiotic resistance is a worldwide concern) and we would not give them to a healthy animal. We hope that the bloody diarrhoea has stopped and the parasite burden has resolved.

Laura Misilei Posted on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend them. The vet and nurses are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately our dog had to be euthanized the day we took him there, because he was not well, but the vet and the nurse were very empathetic and so supportive through out our visit.

Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic

Hi Laura, sorry for the loss of your dog. Unfortunately our team is all too well experienced with euthanasias, but each and every one is important to us, both for the animal, but also for the family left behind. We are glad we could be there for your family when you needed us.

Cherelle Capper Posted on Google 4 months ago

Negative experience: Avoid if possible. Visit VSA at Sylvia park instead.

We always recommend pet owners contact and attend the closest open clinic if there is an afterhours emergency with their pet that is time critical, such as breathing difficulties/ respiratory distress.

Jenny Crossan Posted on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Sadly on New Years Day 2026 we had to have our 19 year old Ragdoll Louis euthanised. The staff were kind and considerate. It was a beautiful experience, unlike the one we had a year before when we had to euthanise his brother at another vet. Thank you.

Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic

Hi Jenny, unfortunately due to illness or injury we see many euthanasia's, each one is important to us and we try to make the experience for pet and owner as peaceful and beautiful as possible. It means a lot to know that we were able to be of help and support to you, Louis and your family when the time came.

Around The Bend Posted on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Lovely vets and vet nurses. Literally saved our cats life at 3am until we could transfer to specialist care.

Hi Around the Bend, that is the reason we are awake and working in the middle of the night, we understand that sickness and injury doesn't always happen at convenient times. We are glad we could support you and save your cat before they were transferred to specialist care and hope they are making a strong recovery.

Kz Posted on Google 5 months ago

Negative experience: I would give 0 if I could, I came in with my pup who had parvo and told the receptionist he was in really bad condition. It happened suddenly and so fast i brought him in as soon as I could. He hadn’t eaten the night before or that whole day. They told me the wait time was 2 hours but I was sat in my car waiting for over 4. Nobody came to get us or to check on him the whole time, yet other cars that just pulled in were getting taken in right away. My pup was left vomiting over and over outside waiting for 4+ hours. Im sure the staff forgot we were waiting. I ended up leaving and taking him to another vet and got seen almost right away as they could see his condition was severe. This vet then messaged me the NEXT day to “check up” on him which was useless because they couldn’t even do that when we were there. There also weren’t many dogs in the vet and it didn’t seem too busy from what I could see. There was 1 dog waiting. Do better.

Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic
Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic

Hi Kz, we are glad your puppy received medical treatment after leaving here and hope they have recovered from parvovirus. Please message us with your pups name and date of visit at [email protected] , we will be able to respond to you more specifically regarding your visit.

In general, the holiday period is often a time of increased workload for many afterhours services, we operate similar to the ER in a hospital where we triage patients on arrival, and sometimes due to the nature of their illness or injury patients arriving after you, may be seen before you.
The software program we use to book, track and complete consults with patients advises us of who is yet to be seen in consult, when they arrived and what illness or injury their pet has.
While at one point during your waiting period there may have been only 1 dog visible in the waiting area, there would have been multiple hospital patients undergoing procedures, treatments, diagnostics or surgeries in the hospital area which is not visible from the carpark as well as consults underway in our three consult rooms.

Rebecca Owen Posted on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Felt compelled to write a review as the staff were so amazing, kind and compassionate! Took my boy in at 7:30pm on a Saturday night after he started sneezing whilst walking. It was extremely busy and I could clearly see every nurse and vet were working as hard and quickly as possible to treat the animals as they arrived to minimise the distress. Aari was seen and had a procedure to remove an obstruction from his nose that measured approximately 10cm. Am so grateful, thank you, thank you, thank you

Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic
Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic

Hi Rebecca, we hope Aari is now bouncing around and enjoying the holiday fun with his family. We were all impressed by how he managed to get such a long obstruction stuck in his nose. While we wish him health and happiness and hope we don't have to see him again, he is most welcome back if he needs us :)

Gary Talbot Posted on Google 5 months ago

Negative experience: The care was great when it happened but had to wait nearly 4 hours to get seen even though they said 2-3 hours when we first arrived.

Eefa Yasir Jauhary Posted on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I just love these vets so much. My dog Daisy has unfortunately had to go there three times since 2023 and each time I’ve been met with such great vets they have an incredible team working all around because I have literally seen almost the entire team at this point Every vet and vet nurse has answered all my questions, and I know im not easy to deal with because I get so anxious about my dog I ask them so many things. They are just the best down to helping with the insurance, checking their emails, keeping me updated on my dog every step of the way when she was admitted overnight. I really can’t thank the entire vet team enough, they are all incredible people and know what they are doing and I am glad I can trust them with the life of my dog.

Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic

Hi Eefa, Daisy was a delight to have in clinic with us, we love owners that care so deeply about their pets care that they want to be involved and understand fully the treatment and care plans for their pet. Always happy to help, glad you felt well supported by our team :)

Jay BY Ho Posted on Google 6 months ago

Negative experience: Bunny owners beware. I understand that not every vet is experienced with rabbits, but the person attending to our bunny was unacceptable. Not only did they failed to do basic check such as body temperature, they failed to carry out blood test twice, worse is they overdosed our bunny with morphine by 10 times the amount she is allowed to be prescribed for her weight! That rendered her to not eat or drink due to overdosed! Luckily we are able to take our bunny to our usual vet this morning. She could've been killed due to the incompetence and negligence by the person attending our bunny!

Hi Jay, a drug overdose allegation is something we take seriously, please can you let us know your rabbit's name so that we can look into this further. [email protected]

Abi Baldwin Posted on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: We truly appreciated the respect, understanding, and empathy shown to us in a difficult decision. The time had arrived to peacefully let our dear feline go (she had been suffering from a diagnosed illness) - and we were unable to get an immediate appointment with our regular vet. Without knowing us or our pet- these guys understood from the moment we walked in, and trusted our decision. We were provided paw prints as well - this was such a lovely touch. Additionally, the atmosphere at the vet was very calm. Thank you, it meant a lot to us that we could allow our loved feline to depart in a peaceful way.

Fantastic experience: We had to take our cat Flo two times here, on the first visit she was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer which proved to be correct after specialist checked her. We had to take her again last night, Tuesday...vet checked her and consulted and we had to make the difficult decision to help her cross the bridge...everybody was nice and compassionate towards the end...special thanks to the nurse who was there at reception ( sorry forgot her name , her shift was finishing by 10 pm) ...

Arav Prakash Posted on Google 7 months ago

Negative experience: The experience was highly unsatisfactory. Following a post-operative incident where my dog's stitches failed, resulting in a serious medical situation where her intensines spilled out of the wound, we took her to Manakau after hours veteran where we were provided a quote of $5,000 while charging $170 for an examination that yielded no treatment nor any advice. Furthermore, they recommended additional medication at an extra cost, all of this was told whilst I was holding the intestines of my dog. Fortunately, my dog received prompt and effective care at Western After Hours Vet, where the estimated cost was significantly lower at $1,500. I don't recommend taking your pet to Manukau after hours veterinarian for their unwitting acts that almost took the life of my dog.

Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic
Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic

Hi Arav, you received a consult with our veterinarian who offered multiple treatment plans and options, which you declined. As discussed at the time of consult, due to behavioural and medical concerns and to ensure the safety of both our staff and your dog, sedation was needed to do a full physical examination to provide a more accurate estimate than the $3000-5000 estimate advised based on the visual examination. You declined this option and the medication offered to help with transport to another clinic to seek further treatment options. CCTV footage is available and shows that on arrival and departure from our clinic your dogs intestines were not hanging out. We are glad your dog received medical care and wish them a speedy recovery and return to their happy bouncy self.

Rose Payne Posted on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: This is the second time I’ve brought one of my fur babies to this clinic, and again they’ve looked after us so well. The first time was my fur baby Molly (black cat) and this time my furson (dog) Mouse. Both times my babies have come home stitched up, safe and happy. Vets, vet nurses and the admin team carry such a big responsibility, because our fur babies don’t have a voice to say what hurts, where it hurts, or how much it hurts. All we can do is notice the little signs and trust the people who care for them — and I’m so grateful I can trust this team.

Negative experience: If i could, i would give 0 stars. I took my cat in here to get checked. The reception lady was rude, even in her follow up email.

Maple can be quite shy and gets stressed easily, but the vet and staff were incredibly gentle and patient.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Friendly staff. Vet was very informative, caring and very professional. Was pleased with the consultation. And the outcome. Good parking clean premises. Quite costly. But totally understand with the services and being after hours and the weekend. Just glad there was a vet open on a Sunday.

Hi Raelene, we are glad you found our team professional and welcoming and hope your pet has recovered well. Yes, afterhours visits can be more costly so we try to help out with this by offering multiple payment options for those facing unexpected middle of the night or weekend visits.

Fantastic experience: We recently had occasion to visit Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic with our Bulldog "Dozer" who was part of our family for 12 years, unfortunately old age and ongoing health issues were causing him some distress, pain and discomfort. From the time we arrived at the clinic we were approached by very professional competent staff who assisted us in getting our old boy into the surgery. From there the Vet and Nursing Staff were very supportive in diagnosing Dozer's condition and supplied us with information relating to his current condition and the options available. This was delivered in a very compassionate and professional manner. It was decided that the best course of action was to end Dozer's pain and suffering. The process was not rushed and we spent considerable time with Dozer beforehand. We cannot speak highly enough of the professional care, consideration and support we were offered by all the truly remarkable staff involved, Many Thanks,

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to the whole team at the vet clinic. About once every year my cat Pixel needs urgent overnight care from your team. Everyone who has ever looked after Pixel has been so kind, informative and compassionate. All the receptionists and vet nurses who triage Pixel always go above and beyond. This recent weeknd Kayla who saw Pixel at reception was amazing and sweet! Steve and Ben who were the vets this weekend for Pixel did such a great job! Your whole team always goes above and beyond! Pixel always comes home happy after all the care the team provides! I cannot thank your whole vet team enough!

Fantastic experience: MAHVC have been incredible. When I first found my kitten Millie on the road, they saw us straight away and were so kind and thorough. More recently, they helped us say goodbye to our dog Ella with compassion, clarity, and care. They gave us time to make decisions and treated her with such gentleness. We were so touched to receive a card afterward with her paw prints and a lock of her fur, such a beautiful gesture from an emergency clinic. Thank you for everything.

Fantastic experience: Had to go there in an emergency with a very sick, much loved cat. They were the kindest, most sensitive humans I have ever come across. Respectful and gentle. They thought of everything we might need, and made space for the sorrow and pain of what faced us. They followed up after two weeks with the sweetest card. Bear in mind this was a one-off emergency visit. They did not know us at all. I am grateful for their support at that time.

Elodie Rodriguez Posted on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Our dog Aya underwent emergency spay surgery at Manukau After-Hours Veterinary Clinic in November 2024 for a life-threatening pyometra. While the surgery addressed the immediate risk, subsequent complications arose that required months of treatment and a second major operation. Follow-up care revealed that ovarian tissue appeared to have remained post-surgery, resulting in ovarian remnant syndrome and stump pyometra—both painful, medically significant conditions. Ultrasound imaging identified a 2.9 cm ovoid structure near the left ovary site, consisting of large cystic cavities, which our specialist interpreted as retained ovarian tissue. The uterine stump was also found to be abnormally thickened (1.4 cm), suggesting chronic inflammation or infection. To their credit, the clinic agreed to cover the cost of the corrective surgery and some related expenses. However, they declined to refund the original surgery fee. We found this difficult to reconcile given the timeline and outcomes, which medical specialists believe were linked to the initial procedure. We also raised concerns about Aya’s hooded vulva and the lack of a prophylactic gastropexy—commonly recommended for large-breed dogs like German Shepherds during abdominal surgeries. We later learned that the clinic’s website states they do not typically perform routine procedures like spays. Given this, we were surprised a referral to a surgical specialist wasn’t considered, especially in a high-risk emergency context. The specialist who later performed the correction also noted the original incision appeared quite small considering the complexity of the case. We were particularly distressed when the practice manager described the follow-up procedures as ones we had “chosen to add.” For us, this remark minimized the very real pain and complications our dog endured—issues that veterinary professionals have since treated as medically necessary. Altogether, we’ve spent over $11,000 managing complications that arose after the first surgery. While we appreciate the clinic’s partial reimbursement, the overall experience left us with significant concerns around communication, surgical protocols, and follow-up care. Aya deserved better, and we believe it’s important for pet owners to be informed when seeking emergency treatment.

Bobkat Posted on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Awful heartless vet clinic. They could have used their discretion as many other vet clinics do in saving a dog called Captain who had a rescue and people lined up to adopt but instead they sent him directly to the pound without treating his wounds and straight to his death. This vet clinic is breed biased as if this was a poodle they would have chosen differently. Discusting heartless actions by people that clearly are not in this for the animals. This poor dog was euthanised before his 7 day hold was up and the rescue and owner trying to have him released. This awful vet clinic is in league with Manukau council in euthanasia of certain breeds. Part of the target practice that they are doing.

Any stray (“lost”) dog is held for 7 full days by an organisation approved by the territorial authority (for example SPCA or Animal Management). These approved organisations have access to databases which allow them to find the owners of these lost animals more easily to either reunite or make arrangements for their future care. The organisations also have legislative requirements under the Dog Control Act 1996 to provide the “proper custody, care, and exercise for such dogs”.
Our team are passionate about their work, which many consider to be a calling. We stand behind our team and have a zero tolerance for aggressive and offensive behaviour.

Negative experience: A dog was rescued from abuse and being a stray on the streets, by people willing to love and care for him and give the dog a home. He was taken in for a checkup to this vets AND THEY CALLED THE POUND - never got the dog back, now it may be euthanised. NO CONSENT WAS GIVEN, no form was filled out, they just TOOK THE DOG. It is not ok, where is your compassion? THE DOG HAS BEEN EUTHANISED!!! SHAME ON YOU

Sharon Smith Posted on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Sending a dog to the pound, how do you call yourself caring or animal lovers? You have no heart and no soul. That dog had a rescue and people lined up to foster/adopt him and give him a chance. You only needed to check him over not send him to his death. Cruel people, hope people stay well clear. Sharing this all over Facebook and instragram. Do not support them, they only want your money they don’t care about your fur babies.

Fantastic experience: Took our 17 yr old dog, Sandy, in on Easter Sunday as she had a seizure. Sadly, it was clear that it was time for her to go to her rest. Dr Steve Oehley was so gentle and kind as was Kayla and there were other nurses working hard in the background. Sandy calmly went to sleep surrounded with love and respect. A busy day yet we did not feel rushed and were given the time we needed to say proper goodbye. Their relationship with Truly Treasured Pet Loss and cremation services means there has been seamless continuity of care. We cannot recommend this place highly enough and are truly grateful for their love and care

Arana Ormsby Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: From the moment we called, we knew we were in the best hands. Although there were options available, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let our beloved Wiggle go, knowing she wouldn’t withstand the recovery. It was an incredibly difficult moment for our family, but Dr. Matt and the entire team were nothing short of amazing. From the very first point of contact, their warmth, empathy, and professionalism shone through. They didn’t just treat Wiggle with care—they treated us with genuine kindness and understanding. They explained everything clearly, gave us the space and time we needed, and never made us feel rushed or like just another appointment. which helped ease the immense guilt and sadness we felt. Even in the hardest of times, they created a peaceful and comforting environment, allowing us to say our final goodbyes with love and dignity. Their compassion extended beyond the clinic, making an unbearable experience just that little bit more bearable. Losing a pet is losing a member of the family, and we are forever grateful to Dr. Matt and the team for the way they cared for both Wiggle and us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, patience, and support—you truly made a difference when we needed it the most.

Snap Nez Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Before and after I’ve visited this after hour emergency vet clinic, I have researched this clinic and the surrounding vets, that were open on Sunday. My 1 year old kitten had an injury, was limping and needed to be seen after another vet could not diagnose her properly and did not provide appropriate treatment. Sunday morning, I called 3 vet clinics and got denied at every single one, as my kitten was not a registered patient. Though, I was referred to an after hours clinics in the area. One google search and amazing reviews away, I called the Manukau After Hours Vet Clinic. I was immediately kindly greeted on the phone and after a quick blurb about the condition of my kitty, the lovely girl at the reception said that she sure must be seen and better to come sooner rather than later, with a pricey (but for the weekend reasonable) consultation fee of $200+GST. I waited approximately 1.5 hours, saw the receptionists compassion with other pets owners, had a yarn with other patients owners and the time flew by. It almost felt like an actual hospital seeing urgent incoming pets taking priority, so I was of course not mad waiting a little longer. Amazingly, Dr. Kevin saw us, listened, gave us options and sent us home with the appropriate medication and other tips in our benefit. He was super compassionate, kind and light hearted. My kitten was like new the next day! From what I’ve seen, this clinic has an amazing, experienced and compassionate team. Thanks again. I’ll for sure put you guys on my speed dial - just in case ❤️

Leila Blackburn Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The team did a really good job at taking our Taika in after he cut his paw badly during one of our walks. We were seen within 30-40mins by the vet (not long at all). but while waiting the nurses and reception made sure he had water and updated us on how far the vet was. When we were seen by the vet, he was clear and concise about the treatment and made sure to tell us all options (both good and bad) that were available. When we left him at the vet for his procedure, they also updated us when they were done and how our dog was doing. It’s been over 2months now and Taika’s paw has healed really well and our usual vet in ormiston also commended the Job that the emergency vet did and reassured us that they did a really good job and that they were happy with how the stitches were put in. Thank you so much (apologies we can’t remember the name of the vet or nurses that were on that day)

We took him home to potentially say goodbye but in the safety and security of home he got his strength and energy back and walked on his own. It was a relief to see him sleep in peace again. 24 hours later he is around 90% his usual self and had a bowel movement. Happiest I've been for him to poop

Lala Mamitas Posted on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: My Disappointing Experience at Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic I specifically visited to check my Golden Retriever, Miley, to confirm her pregnancy status and to ensure the puppies were healthy, as she was nearing her due date. After waiting for more than two hours, I was shocked to learn that the clinic did not have the necessary imaging equipment to check the puppies, yet they charged me $190 for a "consultation" that provided none of the services I needed. I felt the service was unprofessional, I was ignored in the waiting room for an hour and 10 minutes without any attention, then taken to the clinic room inside and my dog's temperature was taken and then in the room for another half hour. I was offered an ultrasound for $103 to confirm the pregnancy. However, this was not the main reason for my visit. I came to check the condition, number of puppies, and due date, not just to confirm the pregnancy. I felt deceived and overcharged.

Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic
Manukau After Hours Veterinary Clinic

Hello, we are sorry to hear that this was the result of your visit with us, as communicated with you, we are an emergency service provider that has the diagnostic imaging equipment suitable to view and diagnose for trauma reasons, we also have a fantastic veterinarian available for call in services (which you were provided the option of) to provide a more indepth diagnoses should it be required, which as an emergency service provider is at times required. The other option, which was also offered to you was a recommendation to see a GP clinic to provide your dog with ongoing support through the breeding process.


Unfortunately, wait times in emergency services are at times lengthy, the wait time during your visit, for a matter that is not life threatening, is in line with all other after hours emergency providers across Auckland, and our consultation price comparable.



The nurse who did the triage consult on your dog (temperature and other health checks) is there to ensure our most critical patients are seen by the vet first.



We are sorry you felt deceived, a consultation involves a health check of your dog and the discussion of options and treatment/care plans – which the clinical record states you received.



We do hope your dog has a smooth labour with healthy puppies.

Hi Laura, Molly was such a lovely patient, we are glad we could support both her and your family through her recovery. We know how worrying it is at home when your pet is in hospital so we do our best to keep you informed so you can have some peace of mind and also input into her treatment plan.

Fantastic experience: We brought in our dalmatian Thursday night who was struggling after a cystotomy on Wednesday. We were exhausted & stressed because we had all barely slept and he wasn't eating or laying down. They happily took him overnight for us, and he went to his usual vets during the day for more monitoring & IVs. After a full night's rest & some delicious boiled chicken he is miles better than he was thanks to the care & kindness of the team. There was an understandable wait and cost involved, but this was expected. The whole team was very gracious and gave us so much comfort and relief. Thank you! Spencer is so much happier!

Hi Bri, We are so glad Spencer is feeling much better! and we hope you are well rested now too. Our staff work so very hard on making sure our patients are comfortable and make it as much of a 'home away from home' (including handfed cooked chicken treats) as they can during their stay here.
