The Vet House - Matangi

15/01/2026

Hello 2026!! We’ve hit the ground running over the last couple of weeks!

From CT scans to kitten cuddles – it’s all in a day’s work at The Vet House 💛🐶🐱
​
Zazu came in for a CT 🧠 so we can get detailed images to guide his treatment, while two very cute kittens visited for their very first vaccines and lots of reassurance 🐾✨
​
From major diagnostics to milestone moments, the cases might be different but the goal stays the same: keeping your furry family happy, healthy, and in the best possible hands 🙌❤️

Merry Christmas from The Vet House🎄🐾
​
What a year! Our team has worked so hard, we’re bursting at the seams!
Our days have been packed with patients, and our hearts are even fuller thanks to all of you and your amazing pets. Thank you for trusting us with your furry, feathered and whiskered family members and for keeping our little clinic buzzing all year long.
​
Next year, we’re welcoming new team members and will be crossing the car park to our “big” clinic, so you’ll be seeing even more friendly faces, and we'll have so much more space for you and your pets. Things are getting very exciting just across the way, and we can’t wait to share the next chapter with you.
​
From our team to yours: Merry Christmas, Meri Kirihimete and thank you for every visit, every kind word and all the special treats!

We're open today (24th Dec) until 6pm and back again on Monday. If you have an emergency, please contact 07 839 5656.

Here’s to a bright, exciting 2026 – see you all soon! 🎄🎅🐶🐱🐰🐭🐥⭐

Christmas has come early at The Vet House! 🎄🐾 Our beloved Railway Cottage has officially been moved to its permanent home at the Matangi Factory site, where it will soon become a purpose-built vet clinic! This new build has been a long time coming, and we’re so excited to be creating a boutique, homely space designed with both pets and their people in mind and of course, plenty of room to grow our services as our Vet House family grows.

While the new space starts to take shape, it’s still business as usual at our lovely current spot, and we’re here for all your pets’ check-ups, cuddles, and emergency “uh-oh” moments. 💚🐶🐱

With the holiday season nearly here, now’s the perfect time to order repeat medications, flea/worm treatments and prescription food so your furry family members are sorted for Christmas and New Year. 🎅🐶🐱

Luna lovers, this one’s for you 🌙🐾

Luna has just been named New Zealand’s most popular pet name for 2025 – making it seven years in a row at the top of the list! From cheeky Luna puppies to smoochy Luna cats, even a few bunnies - 23 at The Vet House to be exact!
Does your furry friend share the name Luna, or do they have something totally unique? We wonder what 2026 will bring!?! 💬💙

Fact of the Day 🐾

Did you know that a cat's nose print is as unique as a human fingerprint? No two kitty noses are alike! 😺👃

Six sausage dogs, one big Aussie adventure! Today we had the absolute joy of giving these long little legends their export certificates before they jet off to their new life across the ditch. They were all wags and wiggles as we ticked them off, ready for sunny beaches and new kangaroo neighbours!

Safe travels, little ones - Australia’s not ready for this much cuteness!

What’s up, Doc? 🐰🦷

Here’s Gabe in action, giving one of our bunny patients a dental makeover! Just like cats and dogs, rabbits need strong, healthy teeth to keep their whole body in top shape. 🪥✨

Rabbits’ teeth never stop growing, so keeping an eye on their chompers is super important. This little one will be hopping home with a fresh smile! 💚

The Vet House welcomed a very special visitor today - a cheeky duckling who waddled in and instantly stole our hearts! Nurse Demi has officially claimed him for her growing flock. Demi promises he’ll get all the TLC and treats a little duck deserves - no ifs, quacks, or buts!
