👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners most often praised the team’s kindness, compassion and calm handling of animals, including anxious pets, rescue animals, elderly pets and end-of-life situations. Many reviews also valued the clinic’s holistic approach alongside conventional veterinary care, with comments about clear explanations, follow-up calls, treatment options, surgery care, wildlife work and successful management of ongoing conditions. Several long-term clients said they would not go anywhere else and explicitly recommended the practice.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Some owners described poor communication, rude or upsetting interactions, high fees, lack of diagnostic answers, treatment side effects, or distress around euthanasia and handling of dogs.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask the team to talk through both holistic and conventional treatment options, as many owners valued having choices explained clearly.
- If your pet is anxious or reactive, mention this when booking so the clinic can plan a gentler visit.
- For urgent appointments, phone early and confirm availability, as a few reviews mention the clinic being heavily booked or short-staffed.
- Request a clear estimate and treatment plan before procedures or injections, especially if cost or medication side effects are a concern.
- Use the follow-up support where offered, as several owners found post-visit check-ins and home-care guidance helpful.

Veterinary Holistic Healthcare is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, and Saturday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. The clinic is not listed as open on Sunday in the provided hours, so call ahead to confirm public holiday hours or any changes.

Veterinary consultation fees in New Zealand vary by clinic and are not regulated by a government fee schedule. Call Veterinary Holistic Healthcare for a current consultation quote, and ask for an itemised written estimate before procedures, injections, dental work or ongoing treatment. ACC covers human personal injury only and does not cover pets, so owners usually rely on private pet insurance or payment-plan options in general terms where available.
Most New Zealand vet clinics commonly accept EFTPOS, Visa / Mastercard, contactless tap-and-go such as payWave or PayPass, Apple Pay / Google Pay, and cash, but you should call ahead to confirm what Veterinary Holistic Healthcare currently accepts. Some clinics may also support pet-insurance claims or payment plans, so ask before your appointment if that matters for your visit.
