About Us

Who Are We?

Our Mission: “Integrity and trust, working as a team, and providing a quality service in a consistent manner.”

Ourvets is a multi-location practice, where each veterinarian’s area of expertise fits together to create an extensive portfolio of veterinary skills and knowledge. We love our own pets as much as you love yours. If you want the best care for your pet you have come to the right place.

Ourvets St Albans was Christchurch’s first NZVA Accredited Practice. We are very proud of the ongoing commitment of all staff to have remained accredited for so many years. This takes a great deal of hard work and effort. Strict standards must be met to gain accreditation.

An audit of the practice is undertaken every two years and must meet the strict standards set out by the New Zealand Veterinary Association. This means you can rely on us to deliver the very best service for you and your pet.

Our latest Best Practice accreditation was completed January 2017.

MEET THE TEAM

Our dedicated team is always here for your pets.

At our Veterinary Clinic, you’ll be fully supported with sound advice first and foremost. We know that helping our clients starts with providing a good understanding of health care issues and treatment options. With good advice and professional recommendations, you’ll be well equipped to make the best ongoing health care decisions for your pet.
