Pet Services - New Plymouth Vet Group

Because we work with pets on a daily basis, we understand they’re more than animal companions – they’re valued family members. As vets we do much more than treat sick pets. We take a three-pronged approach to pet care that addresses nutrition and exercise, proactive illness prevention, and treatment of injury and disease.

We strive to educate owners about the specific requirements of their pet. If you’re pet is sick or injured, we are sensitive to the stress this can put you under, and will discuss your situation and options with you so you can make an informed decision that is right for you.

This section of our website covers helpful info about common household pets, different pet services we provide, our pet hospital, frequently asked questions and interesting cases we have seen.

Testimonials

Very warm people who seem genuinely interested in the animals they are asked to care for. Very competent in my experience and any time I have taken my pets in for attention it has been something of a social visit as well as therapy for my animals. Thanks to you all.

David Cook

I’ve used NP Vet Group for many years and have always found the level of service and care to be awesome. I wouldn’t trust my dogs to just anyone. One dog needs ongoing arthritis care, and we have hit the jackpot with our vet Wendy, she is caring, knowledgeable, listens and we always come out from seeing her calm and happy with the treatment plan

Jenny Thomson

The team at New Plymouth Vet Group are friendly, caring and professional. They deliver the highest standard of care at all times and always explain the diagnosis and treatment plan. Definitely veterinarians you can trust to treat and care for your pets.

Vicky Andreoli

I can’t recommend NPVG highly enough. As my fur baby enters her twilight years, I wouldn’t trust her care to any other practice. The compassion and attention shown to both her and me is unparalleled. A huge thank you to everyone on the team I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with—you’re truly amazing!

Toni Parr

Thank you so much for keeping on going to help my wee bunny during this health roller coaster , I really appreciate the communication and realistic information and reassurance . Everyone was really friendly and being able to see Benji without feeling like I was in the way (even out of business hours) was extra lovely too .
