Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team for being friendly, caring, professional and reassuring with both pets and people. Several reviews describe knowledgeable vets, good advice, careful follow-up, and strong outcomes in urgent or complex situations, including emergency care, dental treatment, grass-seed removal and diagnosis of unusual problems. Many owners also valued being seen promptly, easy appointments, and staff who helped nervous pets feel more settled.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
The reviews are overwhelmingly positive, but a few serious concerns were raised. One owner described poor communication, lack of empathy and an unexpected cost increase after euthanasia and cremation arrangements, while another reported an upsetting post-surgery check-up with an unfriendly and impatient vet. There was also one booking failure where a cat arrived for vaccinations but the clinic had no record, and one owner noted that finding a suitable appointment time was initially difficult.

Consultation fees vary by clinic in New Zealand and are not government-regulated. ACC covers human personal injury only and does not cover pets, and there is no government-published veterinary fee schedule. Call the clinic for a current quote, and ask for an itemised written estimate for procedures such as surgery, dental care, euthanasia or cremation. If urgent or after-hours care is needed, fees are typically higher. Pet owners may also ask generally about private pet insurance or payment-plan options, but availability should be confirmed directly with the clinic.
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. Some clinics may also support pet-insurance claims or payment plans, so call ahead to confirm what Petfirst & Farmfirst Veterinary Aspiring accepts before your visit.
