Wellington After Hours Vet Clinic: Reviews
Fantastic experience: The convenience of being able to bring a sick pet to an emergency after hours vet is great. Compassionate service and great help given. I recommend them and their service. I came in with an injured chicken, their knowledge about chickens is minimal and thought the injury needed her to be put down. Get a second opinion from an avain vet.
Fantastic experience: We have used the after hours vet clinic on numerous occasions and are very pleased and grateful that we have them on our doorstep. The vet last night was really lovely and checked Evie our two year old Sphynx out really thoroughly. We really appreciated that. Two days on Evie is looking much better.
Fantastic experience: So grateful for the wonderful team being available for care over the weekend.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for taking in the little injured Kereru. You guys were so kind and all of your advice, even the next day, was very thoughtful, big thanks to your amazing team
Fantastic experience: My cat Miilie had been bitten a number of times and the vet was amazing calming miss millie cat she is on the mend thanks so much
Fantastic experience: Had the best experience at Wellington After Hours Vet Clinic today. The staff were professional and efficient, from the moment we met Lauren the receptionist, we knew that we were in good hands. Sally the vet was amazing. She took our very sick, lethargic and in pain beagle Poppy for comprehensive blood tests and also a wee scan of her abdomen, and returned her to us slightly groggy from the fentanyl patch on her leg, but otherwise the girl we knew up until a few days earlier. Sally then gave us a full explanation of the condition Poppy was suffering from, and was able to almost certainly reassure us that she did not have a more serious problem. Dieter and I are so very grateful to Lauren and Sally, and Poppy is happily having a snooze after her adventure. We are once again a very happy family thanks to the awesome care from this vet practice. Huge thanks to you all. Dieter and Sandy
Fantastic experience: Excellent service from the vets/ladies that served us when we took our dog in to get checked. An amazing & awesome team.
Fantastic experience: The vet was friendly. She communicated options clearly, and made me feel that my cat was in good hands.
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff looked after our cat, Highly recommend. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Our dog Maisie recently had to visit the clinic when a grass seed perforated her eardrum. I can't rate the team highly enough for their kindness and care of our distressed little girl (and her worried and upset humans). We were seen promptly, everything was explained to us, and we were sent home with treatment instructions and advice about checking in with our regular vet (who also received clear notes about Maisie's situation). We are so lucky to have this service available in Wellington. Maisie is now fine and back to her normal self. Thank you all for everything you do.
Thank you so much for your kind words about our WAHVC team. We are so happy to hear that Maisie has recovered well
Fantastic experience: Thank you for the outstanding care you provided our cat.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding service, both from Reception and Vet.
Fantastic experience: Extremely professional vet nurse staff who go the extra mile. Dr Corey is a highly capable and experienced Vet who is confident in her dignosis and can explain issues clearly. Excellent bedside manner with a sometimes stressy border collie. Made a potentially stressful medical issue with a beloved pet very easy to mange. I am a frequent flyer at this vet practice with animals that have a whole host of serious issues and couldn't be more grateful for the emergency services, care, and kindness they provide. Thanks everyone.
Fantastic experience: What an outstanding vet clinic. We took our very sick fur baby to them, their compassion shown to both us and our fur baby was incredible. So to those who were ahead of us as we took your spot, thank you for being so understanding ❤️
Positive experience: Nice to talk to until finances are questioned, I have a full time job and proof of it and pet insurance (you have to pay first the insurance pays you) yet they still refused me service without $180 up front, I had to borrow this money.
Fantastic experience: Lovely, friendly Staff...Very respectful and handled our poor Scratch with care and gentleness when she was euthanized. ❤️
Fantastic experience: everyone was very helpful, kind and professional
Fantastic experience: We unfortunately had to visit the after hours vet clinic recently for our beloved cat, Sammy. We were immediately met with compassionate empathetic staff who supported us through the harrowing experience when our baby girl passed away from sudden heart failure (it was out of everyone's control). The staff did everything they could to help, they walked us through the process with kindness and compassion, and we will be forever grateful for their support. Special mention to Alice for being there for Sammy, even though we weren't there at her last moments, we feel comforted to know she was with people who cared and did everything they could to save her.
Fantastic experience: Caring, friendly and helpful staff in a stressful situation
Fantastic experience: The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were very busy, but they treated every person and their fur baby with care and attention. This was the first time I have needed to bring my cat in, but there have been times in the past where I have called up anxious that something could be wrong and every time they have been so understanding to speak with and have taken the time to give advice. You can tell they really care about what they do, and both me and Fluffy are so appreciative!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing Team, helped removed a fishook from my dogs mouth, was super challenging but it didnt phase them at all. The team was confident and happy to attempt a non sedation method as first option which i appreciated in our situation.
Fantastic experience: Quick and friendly service for my poor jarhead cat
Fantastic experience: Thank you for your great work
Fantastic experience: Good place to visit during after hours for your pets.
Fantastic experience: Very kind staff, including the reception, nurses, and vets. Special thanks to Sally Cory who looked after our dear girl Bonnie overnight after she had emergency abdominal surgery.
Fantastic experience: The team at the After Hours clinic were absolutely fantastic, they provided great support and care to our dog while she was unwell, and gave us frequent updates. Definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: We had to bring our cat in after hours following a sudden injury, and I’m so grateful for the care we received. The team was calm, reassuring, and incredibly gentle with our boy. They explained everything clearly, acted quickly, and made a very stressful situation feel manageable. Thank you for looking after him so well when he needed it most.
Fantastic experience: Super cool people. Really helpful and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: So caring to a feral tom I brought in with a shocking wound.
Fantastic experience: Excellent vet service, clear communication and very friendly animal loving staff.
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Emily and the rest of the team for replacing my injured cats cast and friendly customer service I felt very at ease and you guys seriously are the best. Hopefully we aren’t back soon - this guy is doing just fine after his operation today.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful phone advice. Vet was thorough and reassuring
Fantastic experience: Not the kind of place you want to have to go to... But really great staff, good communication especially for that time of the night and they have all the equipment can be a bit hard to find a park during normal hours.
Fantastic experience: Such empathetic, prompt and efficient attention in a very urgent situation. Thanks for saving our doggo!
Fantastic experience: Excellent care of our cat and provided emergency care to stabilise her. They were compassionate, gave us clear updates and accurate fee estimates, and managed the transfer to our regular vet seamlessly.
Fantastic experience: Good compassionate service, nice communication beforehand. Dog recovered well from a chocolate misadventure.
Fantastic experience: Our staffy had a large cut to the back of his leg, the team were great from when I first called, when we arrived they made sure to let us know how long we were going to wait. They looked after our very anxious boy and the care was incredible. Would recommend anyone to use this after hours vet.
Fantastic experience: Been to the afterhours vet twice now and both times the standard of care has been really superb from the staff there. Their professional and caring attitude is so reassuring when you are stressing about your beloved pet's anguish. Yes, you do pay more, but what value do you put on the best care and advice when you need it most in an emergency situation? We couldn't have asked for a better result for our beloved pooch. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Compassionate, kind and knowledgeable team. Thank you Sally and Gareth
Fantastic experience: Molly had to have overnight care and monitoring due to a number of complications following a medical procedure. Molly had the good fortune to be looked after by Sally and her team. Sally was informative and caring and Molly and I very much appreciate the care that Molly received during her time with her. Thank you very much.
Fantastic experience: Prompt caring and very professional service
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and wonderful staff. We took our cat in after her surgery to stay the night to check her breathing. Our cat is sassy and very feisty but the staff were patient with her and understanding of her needs. They took care of her, monitored and gave her medications. Very grateful and thankful for the staff that looked after our cat Baby.
Fantastic experience: The team that we visited late at night on Sunday were so kind, helpful and clear with their communication. We really appreciated the care for our cat. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Had to rush my pup here to be seen urgently, fantastic service from the time I called up.
Fantastic experience: Calm, professional and kind staff that helped us get answers about why our little man wasn't feeling well, gave him medication, and told us what to watch out for in the next 24hrs. Walked out of there with so much peace of mind, couldn't thank the staff there enough.
Fantastic experience: Can't thank and praise enough the team at Wellington After Hours Vet Clinic for taking such quick action and saving my dog from a possible fatality. I appreciated the attention to detail, the support finding another vet to transfer him to in the morning (as we were only visiting Wellington) and providing the best care. Dr Rose explained all the options I had and was extremely patient and thoughtful. We're so lucky this was the closest vet to where we were staying because they are amazing.
Fantastic experience: The receptionist was really lovely when I phoned to ask if I could bring in our cat. The vet was wonderful with Alfie, really thorough, gentle and calming. We had huge peace of mind after speaking with her, she answered all our questions and explained everything she was doing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wellington After Hours Vet Clinic to friends and family, was a huge relief to be able to have our cat seen and treated so quickly at 10.30 on Saturday night rather than waiting to see our normal vet on Monday. They even forwarded the information and treatment of the after hours visit to our normal vet. Can’t express our appreciation enough.
Positive experience: Verbal directions to find the place weren't offered and when I rang back were vague and confusing. Second person clearer instructions when we were lost near the building. Vet nurse most helpful and compassionate and vet fairly good too. Recommend the after hours vets
Fantastic experience: Amazing service to have. Needed to go to the vet urgently on Sunday afternoon with my 18 year old cat. Kind, caring service was given. Thank you team ❤️
Fantastic experience: Always a hard and very scary time heading to the AH Vet-usually late at night. This time we had lovely Vet Sally- she was just so supportive and calm, I felt reassured and so well looked after. Many thanks to the Team there, and the great support from Pip when I phoned also. Wee Freddy is doing so well and I am so grateful :)))
Fantastic experience: very friendly staff, I went with my cat the other day the staff were very understanding.
Fantastic experience: Never nice to have to visit afterhours vet, but the staff are all amazing, and understanding. Have helped efficiently twice now. Never cheap, but again thats expected at an afterhours service.
Fantastic experience: Really grateful after hours service is available, didn't have to wait to long, they are always caring and respectful
Fantastic experience: Great service in a time of need. Our new puppy faced near death after swallowing a foreign object
Fantastic experience: Everytime I've been to the after hours vet clinic all the staff are extremely lovely the vets take the time to explain everything and teach me. Always appreciate the vets and vet nurses here so so much. They always go above and beyond ♥️
Fantastic experience: We had a very sick wee dog on our hands, and the Vet clinic was instrumental in giving immediate care and instruction, without them, I am sure we would have lost him that night. Thank you to the duo at Wellington After-hours Vets.
Fantastic experience: Very thankful to have this service. Great communication and very reassuring.
Fantastic experience: We have used the After Hours Vet Clinic for years. My most memorable occasion is being away on a boat in Pelorus Sounds and my little Jack Russell, Coco, became ill so we travelled across Cook Strait as fast as possible, phoned the Clinic to let them know I was coming with her. Sadly, she had to be put to sleep, but the staff were just wonderful with her (and me) and I will never forget their kindness.
Fantastic experience: We were seen quickly. All the staff were really pleasant to deal with, our cat was treated with respect, and the advice about treatment and follow-up actions was clearly explained.
Fantastic experience: Staff are kind and understanding in a frequently emotional environment. We felt very well looked after and early advice via phone was worthwhile to clear any uncertainty!
Fantastic experience: Very kind staff, we felt safe leaving our dog there overnight after emergency surgery. The next morning when we picked her up they took their time to explain what to expect next.
Fantastic experience: Such caring and understanding staff at God-awful times of the night and when pet owners are stressed .
Fantastic experience: Knowledge helpful staff available for our pets after hours. Kind and understanding that when we are there we are scared for our loved ones
Fantastic experience: Amazing, super professional and experienced team. Our cat received great emergency care on a case of dental decay. They gave us a clear diagnose, and advice on the next steps to take. Thanks to that, we could arrange a surgery within a week, and have the issue resolved with ease. Thanks for the service and great value you provide to Welly's community. ❤️
Fantastic experience: Excellent, friendly professional staff. Quick and efficient, handled with care. Thanks Sally Cory and team
Fantastic experience: So my best friend of 15yrs needed to cross the rainbow bridge. We wernt expecting it to be a sudden thing as he had cancer but at extreme short notice a secondary problem arose requiring me to make a decision and quickly. Due to the nature of the ailment I chose to let him go with dignity as he did not deserve to suffer at all. Saturday night 19 April my best friend Montee came into Wellingtin after hours with my daughter and grandson in tow. I can't sing praises enough for Aunty and the young lady on the reception (sorry hun, forgot ur name). We were treated with respect we were made to feel welcome but most importantly Montee was treated like family. They ran around after all of us making sure we were well looked after, they explained everything 100% and in terms we could understand. I can't thank these two ladies enough, it's a hard hard call to let ur best friend go and so very hard to get through the process without losing ur mind. Ladies from myself, Chelsea and young Batman and most importantly Montee thankyou so very very much. You are both amazing and we were very lucky to have you both. Wellington after hours Man you get 10 stars from us - in every aspect of the process. This place is getting my business of the year award! Extremely highly recommended
Fantastic experience: When you think it's all over ring these guys they will do there very best to help your loved pets ❤️
Fantastic experience: The team are super caring, kind, prompt and reassuring. They were able to see my little cat promptly and had already had an idea what the situation was thanks to the most incredible Kaydee ❤️ they saw him and treated him in what I thought was a prompt time! Sally our awesome vet was able to answer my many questions and queries and gave fantastic answers that both educated my partner and I while reassuring us that our little guy was going to be just fine and was doing well. He's had a very stressful week and they made it seem so easy and calm, I really appreciated that. If we were ever to need urgent help again, I know exactly who I'm calling. Thank you do much team. Here's Max! Who is feeling quite good after his medicine
Fantastic experience: Absolutely great. They saved our cats life on the weekend and wasted no time. They met us at the door and took her straight away. It does get very busy but they're so lovely and kept us informed of everything all the way through. Very impressed.
Fantastic experience: The Veternarian, Vicky (I think I recall) was very professional, informative and friendly. She clearly has a passion for what she does. Thesurgery was busy and the wait was long but the service was greatThe cost was surprisingly lower than i had anticipated
Fantastic experience: Although it was a really busy night with long wait times, everyone was very calm and professional. The receptionist at the time (unsure of their name sorry) was very kind, gentle, and efficient in helping anyone who called or came in. The vet we saw, Vicky, was also very kind and answered all our worried questions with confidence. Thank you to everyone and highly recommend this clinic to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing team at the clinic, we had a poorly pup and just wanted to make sure that nothing else may have been going on. The team were amazing, so kind and caring, made us and our poorly pup feel incredibly comfortable. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: We took our injured dog to after hours and received the warmest most caring welcome and treatment. We spent a good two hours at the clinic and watched how the staff took care of each and every pet and person who walked through their door. Thank you for your hard work and for all that you! Highly recommended for pets and for their people!
Fantastic experience: Very Helpful, Compassionate, and Understanding I believe they really understand that many pet owners who come to them are often a little distraught about their fur babies needing emergency care. They were incredibly kind and took the time to explain the options I had, despite the tough choice I needed to make. They were honest about the potential outcomes, and their optimism helped me make the right decision. My puppy needed urgent surgery but wasn’t physically ready for it. I was so pleased that they treated her like royalty, giving her plenty of attention and providing electrolytes along with other care that I couldn’t have managed from the time I arrived until my vet opened the next day. The team was fantastic, and they truly saved my puppy's life. Thanks to their help and support, the best outcome was achieved. I will be forever grateful for the valuable services they provide.
Fantastic experience: Great Comms from all of the team, very understanding and supportive. My dog although very unwell I could tell he was well looked after and he liked the team. Nga mihi nui!
Fantastic experience: The service was fast. The staff were super friendly during this scary time and took good care of my puppy.
Fantastic experience: Kind and knowledgeable Fair price for after hours service! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Even though I was feeling anxious and worried about my cat, communicating with the staff at the clinic made me feel at ease, they took great care of my pet and they were all very professional and friendly. Also by the possibility of using afterpay I was able to organise the payment without stressing about it, thank you for implementing it! :)
Fantastic experience: Amazing service and support from the first time I called to the call after we got home. Really nice caring people
Fantastic experience: The quiet confidence of staff, easy to understand explanation of the situation and proposed remedy. Also spelt out clearly the risk and costs. While hoping not to have to go again, if required, I would, with confidence that I was doing my best for the animal in my care.
Fantastic experience: Such a cool team there friendly fast and helpful and straight to the point
Fantastic experience: Very helpful, caring and friendly staff. They were fantastic with our dog after he suffered a minor mishap.
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff. Been twice with issues with my kitties and the staff are fabulous!
Fantastic experience: Sally Cory and Alice Steele were brilliant with Poppy. Very grateful for their care, kindness and support.
Fantastic experience: Receptionist was amazing! Thank you so much for your kind and caring support when we came in on Xmas day. Really appreciated the care. Vet was awesome too trying to help hook, but his anxiousness and aggressive state when like that made it impossible to care for him. But they gave me some over night care. Was very pricey but all worth it for our baby. From Hooks mum and dad
Fantastic experience: all the staff were incredibly wonderful. I was kept informed with everything they did for my sick dog. I would not hesitate to take my sick animal there again if it was necessary. Thankyou for all you do.
Fantastic experience: After our dog half-drowned herself at the beach, we got quick, well-informed advice to bring her in. She got great care, and we got sensible instructions we could easily remember and understand, for after we brought her home. Just knowing this service is there, we have great confidence that an animal emergency need not be an animal disaster.
Fantastic experience: Utterly caring and attentive staff, right from front desk to vet, despite being so busy and so late at night. Thank you for taking such good care of our little patient
Fantastic experience: Great vets helped with us our poor dog who had hurt her leg. Brilliant service and very reassuring to know she was in safe hands
Fantastic experience: Supportive, honest staff who gave options and allowed me to consider what I could afford while making it clear my cat would still be take care of. The option of AfterPay was also very helpful.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely lovely staff, Super knowledgeable and caring. Definitely recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Very attentive service from front desk to the veterinarian. They all loved my rottweiler lucy gave her so much care and hugs. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Wonderful helpful and friendly support in my pet’s time of need ❤️
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the service I received. Staff were very knowledagble, but also kind and compassionate. Really helps to calm you down when you are already in a stressful situation. Even the cost wasent terrible considering it was after hours, I'm very relieved to know we do have these services I'm Wellington and would absolutely reccomend them to anyone
Fantastic experience: We're very lucky to have this After Hours Vet Clinic open and available. We've had to go with our dog and the place was clean, and the staff were very helpful / understanding and attentive. The Vet was especially helpful and much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Not happy to have to use the service obviously, for a cat with a blocked bladder on a Sunday but had no choice. Was seen promptly and had everything explained really clearly. Vet gave options to reduce cost (eg skipping some tests) which was thoughtful and appreciated, bringing the cost down $300-400 and making it affordable, estimate was just under $1000 for surgery and an overnight stay. Payment has to be made on the day but vet accepts afterpay.
Fantastic experience: Came home from a day trip out of town for work to find my dog drooling heavily and uncontrollably - rung the after hours vet and they were amazing, asked questions, consulted amongst their staff and then asked if I would bring her in. they then saw her promptly, were lovely with her and came up with a solution, reassuring me of her wellbeing. Great experience.
Fantastic experience: Our pet was really ill when I brought in to the afterhours, the staff was very understanding and extremely helpful. the staff took care our pet over the weekend and managed to bring him back to his normal self within days, to be honest we thought we were having to say our good by, but what the staff did, they managed to bring the joy back in to our lives. We can't thank the staff enough for what they did and would recommend the after hours vet clinic to anyone, like I've just said, we just can't thank you enough. Many thanks Steve and Angela
Fantastic experience: So caring and understanding at the most stressful time work to help my dog five stars
Fantastic experience: If you can, and if your pet is in need please do consider giving them a call. Their level of empathy and overall care is top notch
