Fantastic experience: The staff at Moffat Road Tauranga Vetcare are so incredibly down to earth. I was supplied a variety of options regarding medical care for our cat, based around affordability and personal preference. Then, without prompting, they went above and beyond to assist me with support regarding superfluous food that I now had on hand unnecessarily (no benefit for them to have done that for me whatsoever). It's always encouraging to have these types of experiences. The staff are definitely an awesome team of people. We're super grateful! xx

Fantastic experience: The team at both the Cherrywood and Bethlehem sites are such a comfort. Professional, kind and extremely thorough. Kathleen especially, is the best vet you could ask for to care for your pet.
Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly, great with our dog, gaining trust first. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Saw a vet named Sharon. She was so informative and caring with our cat. She said their was a possibility of 3 conditions with our cat but she would wait for the blood test. The result came back with exactly what she thought the issue was. She had called us quickly to make sure Bruce had her medication for the weekend. The receptionist staff are so sweet and kind as I also requested vaccinations for my reactive dog.
Fantastic experience: I have a very aggressive cat who does not like going to the Vet. VetCare Bethlehem managed to get everything done (vax, nail clip, flea treatment) quickly and without any fuss. I was very impressed.
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and Vets, very helpful and quick to action to find out my dogs illness....
Fantastic experience: Helga is an exceptional vet who immediately puts both you and your furbaby at ease. Her confidence, expertise, and genuine kindness shine through. I'm so grateful for the excellent care she provides. I cannot recommend Helga highly enough

Fantastic experience: I want to give you all a huge shout out. Thankyou so much for all the knowledge, support and care you showed me and my dog Macy. I truly thought I was going to lose her, but Vetcare acted quickly and were totally on to it. Hands down the best veterinarians and nurses.
Fantastic experience: Great service, very caring just what you need when your pet is unwell
Fantastic experience: After our poor cat was seen overnight at the after hours emergency clinic, Cameron road Tga,where they attended to a badly damaged knee joint, Marcus at BVC provided us with options and a treatment plan that will have Eli back on 4 feet in a couple of months, instead of him loosing his leg. I think for the level of care and treatment provided they represent good value, the surgical treatment they have provided will let the cat enjoy many more active years .
Fantastic experience: Thank you for the amazing service . As a new client , signing up was easy and all receptionists across both centres are kind , considerate and great at what they do . Appreciated meeting Dr Charlotte and her kindness towards taking care of our french bulldog .

They really went the extra mile to ensure my nervous senior dog got thru his dental appointment & was allowed home as soon as he was awake so his stress levels weren't too bad. I appreciated their communication & care shown to us both.

Fantastic experience: Really excellent care of both my dogs in their older age. My girl had surgery for laryngeal paralysis. She's doing better at now at 15yrs old than a year ago.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant service and empathy.
Negative experience: I made an appointment for my dog and arrived on time. They made me wait for an hour, when other visitors who arrived after me were taken and served. Receptionists didn't provide any explanations and the doctor said "YOU CAN CHANGE THE PRACTICE IF NOT HAPPY, THIS IS YOUR RIGHT." How good is that? I do not recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Maisie went for her immunisations yesterday and the vet Helga was kind and calming to our girl who was a little stressed.
Fantastic experience: The most amazing vets I’ve ever been to. So professional and helpful! They leave you feeling like you understand exactly what’s happening.

Fantastic experience: Very lovely people so kind and understanding
Fantastic experience: Great service, took me the same day that I rang, and vet was really lovely
Fantastic experience: Been going here for 5 years and wouldn't think of going anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Vetcare Bethlehem. Both my fur kids get seen by the lovely vets at Vetcare, and the both have a love/hate relationship with it (get stung by the nasty thing/the tasty treats). I cannot stress this enough, how wonderful the team is from bookings with the excellent young ladies at the counter, or the awesome veterinary staff throughout the establishment. 5+ stars.
Fantastic experience: Superb staff
Fantastic experience: They always set your mind at ease,and they genuinely care about your animal.
Positive experience: A bit beyond my means but still a very good vet
Negative experience: Put your mask on!!!!
Positive experience: Great, welcoming and understanding front of counter staff. Vet's are professional and caring however the service we received in needing to put our cat to sleep was not, in my opinion, up to spec. Was quite upsetting and disappointing (over and above the normal trauma of needing to do this). We received in the mail a beautiful hand written card of sympathy that was a very nice touch.
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, caring and extremely helpful. I wouldn't take my fur babies anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Vetcare Bethlehem have been excellent with our 2 Labradors. The team are friendly, obliging and run a smooth and organized practise. The vets are experienced and caring. Highly recommend to newcomers.
Fantastic experience: All staff are genuinely friendly and professional and handled our cat with skill.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service.... they took our wee kitten as a patient free of charge after a complication with an abcess after having been spayed previously by another vet.. Service over and above... Thank you
Positive experience: Very friendly staff, who genuinely care about your companion animals.
Fantastic experience: Thank you for taking care of me Pink
Fantastic experience: Very friendly atmosphere for both animals and human parents. Always professional service.
Negative experience: Just keeping it short: Like: 1) Great reception services at vet care hospital and on call - they really listen and answer politely. 2) Katty Johnson - what an amazing person she is!! Her dedication/love to treat/help pets with being non judgmental to pet parents. Dislikes: 1) Racist comments from vets- those were their poor knowledge about our lifestyle and our nation. And, it is offensive because it included my puppy. 2) Many visits to different vets with my puppy's same health issue - And finally, tests been done. Relief af 3) long consultations time and then fees, each visit costed me about 80 bucks
Fantastic experience: Very experienced, patient and sweet.
Fantastic experience: Great professional vets who really care for your animals wellbeing
Fantastic experience: Awesome team 1st class cares for my furbabies
Positive experience: My girl has been suffering flea problems, cause skin irritation & everything else due to living circumstances. Vet was very detailed with treatment plan & patient with her as she gets very nervous at the vet
Fantastic experience: Good friendly service and nothing was no problem to them
