Companion Animal ServicesWe provide quality health care for your loved animals at our Stratford, Patea and Hawera vet centres. We are able to take care of all your pet care needs including specialised skills in areas such as Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, Dentistry and Ultrasonography. FacilitiesTVC strive to lead the field with our preventative health programs and ability to diagnose and treat animal illnesses. Technical capability and investigation is a critical part of diagnosing disease. We have a range of IDEXX labarotory systems in clinic meaning we can run a variety of tests without having to wait for the external lab. We invested in a digital x-ray system and hospital grade ultrasound producing excellent quality images rapidly, meaning accurate diagnostics and shorter anaesthetic times for your pet. Preventative HealthcareWe believe prevention is always better than cure. We like to do what we can to help keep your pet healthy.
Our neutering costs are heavily subsidised by the clinic to encourage owners to get their pets desexed; neutering surgeries are performed Monday through to Friday and usually the animals are only in for the day. We recommend microchipping cats and dogs and this can be carried out during an appointment, though some people opt to wait until the neutering surgery to have these implanted. Dentistry is an area of animal health that has been coming into focus over the last several years. Our nurses run complimentary dental health checks to assess your pet's mouth and recommend home care steps to improve oral health. If they are concerned that disease is already present, they'll refer you to one of our vets for assessment and they'll talk you through the options. Nurse ConsultsWe have a team of very experienced and skilled nurses that are here to help you engage in good preventative healthcare for your pet. They offer help with dental care, optimal weight management, and their palliative care programme can help ensure your pet’s last few months are comfortable. These appointments are all free of charge except for nail clipping which does have a small fee attached.
