with strict “American Animal Hospital Association Standards” and is loca

ted on the corner of Cranford Street and Main North Road. Your pet’s health and well-being are our highest priority! It is our goal to preserve and strengthen that,
using modern veterinary medicine with good old-fashioned care, compassion and respect!! Your pet has the benefits of the latest medical technology at Northlands Animal Care Hospital. Our caring Veterinarians and staff have a fantastic level of expertise. Our commitment for all of our staff is to continuing education, with training in superior technology and the latest medicines, diagnostics and procedures. We are happy to answer all questions about your pet’s health anytime! Our surgical procedures use state of the art equipment in which we perform a wide range of procedures from soft tissue and cancer treatment to more advanced orthopaedic and reconstructive operations. We have a modern onsite lab that gives us a complete blood picture and internal profile in less than 15 minutes. Our radiology suite provides while you wait x-rays. We can then develop an appropriate treatment plan for your pet. We welcome all new puppies and kittens into our practice and we have wellness plans for pets of every age. We believe that client education is the first and most important step to promoting excellent pet health. We offer up to date educational material for clients to take home. So feel free to give us a call, drop us an email, or call in we are sure you will like what you see!!

Handsome Watson recently ate part of his favourite toy and became very unwell when it became stuck in his intestines.

Our amazing veterinary team performed an ex-lap and successfully fished out all of the lost pieces. Watson bounced back beautifully and is feeling so much better. He is an absolute sweetheart and was very brave for all of his x-rays and his surgery.

Well deserving of a bravery award! Well done Watson!

If your dog is coming in for surgery, one of the most helpful things you can do is take them for a quick walk right before they come in for a last opportunity to go to the toilet! We do not mind accidents, but it can be a little more relaxing for your pup if they are relieved prior to entering the building.

Next up on meeting our nurses is the wonderful Bree!

Working with animals is in her blood, with both her father and grandfather being vets. From an early age she would go to work with her dad to watch surgeries/consultations and help out round the clinic.

Bree has always had the travel bug spending 8 years overseas, visiting many countries throughout Europe and Africa before settling in the French Alps. After returning home for 4 years she was supposed to re-locate to Canada. However, Covid-19 put a hold on that and now she has settled in New Zealand. Her passions are snowboarding, mountain biking, surfing, trail running, kayaking and loads more.

She now owns the clinic with Keryn and keeps everything running behind the scenes, as well as being a passionate and energetic nurse who is always ready for a laugh.

As a reminder, we will be functioning on limited hours today as our whole team is undergoing a special anaesthesia training session with Marcia Fletcher from The Pink Stethescope! Bree will be available for answering the phones and selling food during the training.

The Pink Stethoscope was founded by Marcia Fletcher RVNS, Dip V.N. (Dist), VTS (Anaesthesia & Analgesia) to provide a much-needed educational platform for encouraging and elevating professionals within the veterinary industry.

Marcia Fletcher is a registered veterinary nurse specialist and a recognised international speaker. In 2011 she became New Zealand’s first veterinary technician specialist in anaesthesia and analgesia. We are so excited to have her and can't wait to learn new skills to look after your beautiful pets in even better ways!

Erica and Toast are back again to teach you how to brush your dogs teeth! Remember to start small. Get your pup used to their teeth being touched - with lots of rewards every time they wait - before introducing a brush or toothpaste. Use a treat (or regular kibble) or toy that they love, and start off small. If they already know the command 'wait', touch their lip or teeth for a few seconds before rewarding them. Repeat this process several times, rewarding them for each time they allow you to touch their teeth without pulling away. Eventually you can try rubbing their teeth with your finger or a baby toothbrush, slowly building up the whole process! Go slowly and work with your pup to make this fun, and let us know if you are having trouble. #northlandsanimalcarehospital #vetclinicchch #nzcatsanddogs #vetclinic #christchurchvet #christchurchvetclinic #cooperativecare

Sweet Toast has had several foot injuries already in her young life and is quite worried about her feet being touched. Dr Erica has started working with her to make nail trimming a positive experience. If your dog doesn't like nail trims or is anxious about their feet being touched, you can start training them to voluntarily participate in this process! Use a treat (or regular kibble) or toy that they love, and start off small. If they already know the command 'wait', touch their foot for a few seconds before rewarding them. Repeat this process several times, rewarding them for each time they allow you to touch their feet without pulling away. Eventually you can try picking up their foot or holding the nail clippers to their claws, slowly building up the whole process! Go slowly and work with your pup to make this fun, and let us know if you are having trouble! #northlandsanimalcarehospital #vetclinicchch #nzcatsanddogs #vetclinic #christchurchvet #christchurchvetclinic

We have so many three layers brown paper bags from our daily stock delivery if anyone would have any use for them as they can't be recycled! Great as firestarters, kids craft paper or pot plant holders. Call us or comment if you're interested!

VEGGIEDENT® FR3SH® Tartar Control Chews for Dogs deliver fresh breath and more. They also have a great taste that dogs love. In an open field trial of palatability: 100% of dogs accepted the chew and 92% of dogs consumed the entire chew! These chews have 3-way performance that cleans teeth, freshens breath and supports proper digestion. CLEANSE - Just one chew daily reduces tartar and plaque, the oral causes of bad breath. FRESHEN - Freshens breath with every chew. BALANCE - Contains a prebiotic known to support proper digestion.
