Vetlife Temuka

I am so glad I had Lauren as our vet on the hardest day of my life putting my best friend to sleep. She was so understanding and has a passion for animals and their owners. She gave us all the time we needed. many thanks, bonnie,chelsey and kayden x

The nurse looking after the kittens is lovely. She's friendly and gave me ALL the information required.

The website was okay, easy to navigate but should have more on it like pricing lists

I came here as a Massey 4th year vet student to have some experience with a real practice. All staffs were extremely friendly and helpful and nice to talk to. The vets are calm and always patiently teach me. I got to do a lot of things that are related to the vet job. It was really fun and interesting for me. Definitely a good place to see a practice if you are a vet student.ShanonBvSc 4 spring calving 2014

Had to have fur baby put to sleep. The staff and vets are extremely caring and sensitive to how I was feeling. All of the vetlife vets are extremely professional. I recommend if you are looking for great care.

Generally speaking it was an ok experience. Good staff and facilities. Like all vets the experience does not come cheap. We always need to pay for experience. Am now a client of this business.

Excellent vets to talk to. Good pet and farm products in store. Good parking. Easy to find on the bypass one street over from temukas main st

I wouldn't recommend the entropion eye surgery for animals. It cost around $900 (from memory) and it did nothing to help my cat's sore eyes. Eventually (after a lot of repeated medication/visits) we finally went to the eye specialist at McMaster and Heap in CHCH and he said there's nothing that can be done to cure weeping eyes when a cat has herpes. I could've saved her from eye surgery and could've saved hundreds, if I just went straight to the eye specialist in CHCH to get the cat herpes diagnosis. Not sure why eye herpes wasn't even mentioned from the start, when it's common in stray cats Instead the 'solution' was straight to an invasive expensive surgery? At the very least, a disappointing oversight.

In early 2021, Betty (formerly a stray) had eyelid surgery to eliminate the gunk in her eye & as you can see it worked very well. Betty & I found the Temuka Vet Life Team to be very caring, understanding & responsive throughout the whole process. We'll definitely continue using the local Temuka vet, because they did a great job to understand our circumstances & support Betty's care. It's clear everyone there really cares about animals.

Very helpful and understanding we appreciate what you do so much
