Cahill Animal Hospital: Reviews
Fantastic experience: 29 May visit in the morning .. vet was gentle with our loved cat. She explained process and gave us time with him and even gave him a treat in the process. Thank you for your kindness ❤️
Fantastic experience: Amazing, caring, professional and loving team of some of the best vets in Manawatu.
Fantastic experience: Excellent level of care and experience
Fantastic experience: Margaret and the team are just amazing and look after our furbabies so well.
Fantastic experience: Professional, great service, massive knowledge around pets in general and always great advice. The only place I take my dogs and cat. Cahill are always willing to help you. Thanks team.
Fantastic experience: My family has been to a few different vet clinics in Palmy, and this one has stuck with everyone because of their outstanding service. Lovely staff, super helpful with great advice and care.
Positive experience: Took our 3 dogs in for their shots and check ups. Friendly staff. We check first before we go in to see what animals are waiting as a courtesy. Always pays to check before going into the waiting room with your pets to save both anxiety in your pet and yourself as well as other owners. Professional vet every step of the way. Was made aware of requirements along with costs that would require attention in the future. Thank you Cahills.

Fantastic experience: The best vets in town!
Fantastic experience: Went with an urgent case. At the end of the day. During holiday time. Pet was treated well. Wound flushed out and meds given. It was great. Pet came away slightly shaved but happy
Fantastic experience: Gennavieve the owner is a great vet and really takes her time to consider each patient's individual needs. I also love that they are open on the weekends.
Positive experience: I have had to take my bloody cat here so many times, he has gotten into fights, fallen from hight, and had a bad blader blockage. They always gave advice over the phone and made an effort to find an appointment. The reception is super nice. The 4 stars is because they don't have lollipops, be a 5star place if they had lollipops for the customer. It'll make spending the $200+ a little easier
Fantastic experience: We have many good memories of Cahill Animal Hospital spreading over around 25 years. On the occasions we have visited with our pets we have found the team very professional and caring always giving very good advice. We recently lost our family cat through illness and we could not go past the thoughtful and(again) caring attention received. Thankyou Genevieve and team. We would highly recommend you all to others David & Michelle Williams

Positive experience: Had always found this clinic to be good until last 2 visits when we saw a new vet. Felt rushed through took no time to connect with animal. Felt like they were doing me a favour. Disappointed and now time to look for a new clinic.
Fantastic experience: Helpful and caring they are
Fantastic experience: Friendly, punctual and my pet happy and well again after a stomach upset. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Can I put 6 stars? I found Cahill to provide excellent expertise and service, and they were so kind and friendly with my ragdoll cat! The Cahill team went above and beyond to help us when a mistake was made by another vet with our cats international travel paperwork. Their receptionist kindly listened to our extenuating circumstances (we were already overseas arranging from a distance and our regular vet was closed). She got our cat in to see the vet the same day. The team cleared up all the confusion and walked us through the process so she would be clear to fly that week. Highly recommend, we wish we had gone to Cahill earlier!
Fantastic experience: Very good Vet.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic
Fantastic experience: Great professional services
Fantastic experience: Can't rate this place highly enough! We take both of our animals here and the care they receive is always amazing. They are very fairly priced and everything is always explained to us upfront. If you want personal service from a locally owned and operated team, this is your place!
Negative experience: Called Cahill when my dog had a severe allergic reaction (literally hundreds of lumps all over), they didn't even want to know. Didn't even get to tell them what was happening, instead I was brushed off and told to go elsewhere. Cahill care more about money than animal care. They will never see another cent from me for my little fur family.
Fantastic experience: Super kind and caring at a difficult time for us. Helped us send our sweet Emily off peacefully.
Fantastic experience: Staff are super friendly and so sweet.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant service, saw my cat straight away, great communication. Well done team
Fantastic experience: Great vets and great care for pets
Fantastic experience: My cat was hand reared so unfortunately has no bite inhibition - in short, he will casually bite when something mildly annoys him. Not hard, doesn't break the skin, but previous vets have had trouble with him. The team at Cahill were great, very professional and successfully burrito wrapped him with zero chomping. Will definitely recommend and make it our regular clinic.

Fantastic experience: Amazing service today from the team at Cahill. They went above and beyond the service I have had from other Vets. They were very understanding and helpful.

Fantastic experience: As always, excellent!
Negative experience: I rang to check availability on Cahill taking new customers, I was trying to book a vaccination for my 16w/o kitten. The receptionist was very rude and completely shrugged me off. When I asked for recommendations on other vetcare she told me I would need to ring around try my luck. Absolutely Zero customer care or compassion for the animals in need. Would NOT recommend this business!! I have also heard of customers waiting 20 minutes in the clinic reception while the receptionist was on a personal call. Very poor service and obviously a business only, they do not care about customers or the animals
Negative experience: I took my pet in with damage teeth was told by 2 vetenerian in one week that dogs and cats feel no pain and refuse to look at me dogs teeth unless they go brown yet me dog was not eat or drink and my dog clear had dentil issues as per 2 visits and was refuse to eat and drink cause of dental issue when I took my dog to a diff vet and dental treatmant was given my dog was eat and drink again the next day it was heat of summer this vet put my dog life at risk from refise to listen to owner concern and told me as pet owner said out right dogs dont feeel pain dentily to stop em eat and drink by 2 diff vet suppose drs there yet since dental treatmant ge back to normal from diff vet of dental treatmant my dog given he been want to drink since another vet gave my dog his needs of dental treatmant This vet is disgusting to treat an animal and a pet owner with no needed treatmant that was needed and left a dog 2 plus weeks with no food or water and told pet owner wait till teeth go brown before treatmant given and it in heat of summer What a disgrace this clinic is no apology no refund nothing Yet clear I was responsable pet oener to take pet to vet twice in less than a week of know sumthing was wrong to be told nothin wrong when my pet not eat and drink and wait till teeth go brown and rotten look before we do denatl despite been told a dog refuse water and food given no other options of mediacal exolanation eaither went to diff vet at fifferant clinic after 2nd wek dental treatmant given then my dog eats and drinks no fuss says alot after this vet refuse denatal treatmant say alot ayy So palmerston north watch out for thoes cyclist who never give way to pedrestrians on footpaths that hit ya dogs on ya big or thoes kids that trow balls toys rocks e.t.c at walk ways if ya pet gets injured by any of these then this vet is a waste of time and will pop ys animals dog life at more in danger as this vet did cause of well no added needed
Fantastic experience: Great staff and service.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service and customer care. Have been using Cahills for about 11 years now and wouldn't go anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: We have a small zoo at home having both Cats and Dogs who are our children. Having spent significant amounts bringing our dogs from overseas, we looked for a Veterinary practice that would assist us with looking after the animals health. Cahill Vets gets the award for outstanding service,including looking after the animals grooming requirements.
Fantastic experience: They treat our cat as a valued member of the family!
Fantastic experience: Really friendly and professional staff
Fantastic experience: Very nice staff and excellent vet. Price reasonable. Last app for the day but didnt rush it and my dogs also liked the ppl and the place. Would recommend to anyone thats looking for good service and caring ppl!
Negative experience: Tried to call to get some help with our cat (who is registered with them), but because we recently had her taken elsewhere for dental treatment due to high costs, they refused to help us out. She has a burst abscess that is unrelated to her teeth, and urgently needs antibiotics, but unfortunately they are not willing to help. I understand that this is a busy time of year, but time is running out and she needs urgent care.
Fantastic experience: Dog loves it.
Fantastic experience: Always great, caring service :)
Fantastic experience: Very friendly vets, good prices and quick waiting times. Knowledgeable staff and caring. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Amazing as always!
Positive experience: Great friendly staff
