We found the Auckland Cat Practice online when searching for a cattery to house our friend whilst we looked for a place to live. He arrived a week after we did, however we still didn't have a place for several weeks after our arrival, so he lived with these lovely people until then. The were situated down the road in Mt Eden at that stage, having since updated the cattery facilities to house more furry visitors in the Three Kings new premise. My cat loves people and attention so much that when we take him to the vet they can rarely check his heart beat for the over powering purrrr of happiness coming out of him, so I knew that he would win all the staff over with his loveliness, but of course I was still a bit nervous. The staff here really did go out of their way to help us settle in and accommodate our precarious situation, I was, and still am very appreciative of that. We would often arrive for visits and our boy was sitting on the reception desk making himself quite at home! I have rated Auckland Cat Practice particularly in regards to their cattery and staff, kindness and attention to detail were exceptional.

On my lunch break, I popped over to ask about a skin condition my dog has and one of the vets popped out to have a chat about my options. I think these guys really care about pets, they are in the right business. I see a steady stream of pets in and out of the clinic and it is obviously a much loved service for Hobsonville locals. There is plenty of parking and safe entry from the car to the vet clinic, thank goodness you wouldn't want to lose an animal on that busy Hobsonville Road. If you just moved into the area, or just got a pet, then give these guys a try, I would if I lived in the area.

Vet Dr Gary Duggal who works at Swanson Vet is a strong advocate for desexing your pet. In fact…read morethis clinic recently ran a campaign for desexing where they offered the service at a greatly reduced price. They also promote vaccinations and encourage people to bring in their pets, especially puppies, who are highly likely to get the deadly Parvo disease. I found Gary and his staff really do care about pets and go out of their way to serve their community and work with people so that they can give the care needed to their animals. When I popped in for a visit their waiting room was very comfortable and a welcoming place for customers and their animals.

Hes incredibly kind and loves/treats all the pets as his own. Dr Sharma has gone above and beyond for these furry critters and have saved countless lives by his determined and dedicated efforts.

I have seen/witnessed Dr Sharma rescuing/saving a poor dog with broken bones from roadside after dog was hit by car and eventually nursing him back to health. He is true animal lover and i highly recommend all pet parents to see him for their furry needs . He is honest ,to the point and no BS. Give him a shot you wont be disappointed!!!

I give this place five stars because I believe in what they are doing. While staying with our New…read moreZealand friend we watched her care for kittens who were born in the wild, but after socialization, they were adoptable into forever families. The Glenfield Veterinary Clinic performed the spaying/neutering services at a reduced cost. Having raised cats, I knew their operation results were good as these kittens had tons of energy after their surgery, indicating a good procedure allowing for good healing. No moping around for a week, only a day or two of low energy healing time after a spaying, and ready to roll after a neutering.

I had previously this morning walked away from another nearby vet clinic…read morehaving made an 8.20am appointment online stating it was for a vaccine booster for my kitten, showing up at 7.50am, waiting for the clinic to open (it did at 8.10am despite in the booking system displaying appointments from 8am) to be informed the vet would be late...a 40 min wait and the nurse who was at the clinic wasn't able to conduct the procedure so I would have to wait. Stuff that. I don't drive (part blind), had caught the bus. On the return bus ride home, drove past this place so got off the bus, walked in without an appointment, explained what happened and these guys looked after me from the get-go. Vaccinated my kitten, asked all the right questions re: eating and toilet habits, gave great care advice and were highly professional. Unbelieveable. Guaranteed return customer here. Won't name-drop the other vet but will leave feedback on this forum for them.

Having grown up with a variety of pets, my family have trialled a number of local veterinary services over the years, and in the last few years we have settled on the St Lukes Vet Clinic. Not only are they great with your treasured pet while it is there, St Lukes Vets also provide brilliant follow up service. When my cats went to this vet to get fixed, they rang the next day to make sure both the kittens were doing okay, and a few months later we got follow up letters that were actually addressed to the kittens. It was too cute! Like most vets, the staff at this veterinary clinic are also very caring and trustworthy. You really feel like your pets are receiving the best care at St Lukes Veterinary Clinic. Though not necessarily the easiest place to get in and out of on a busy day due to being located right by the Westfield shopping mall, it's still definitely worth persevering with! Bonus: St Lukes Vet Clinic is open six days a week, so don't panic if you can't get there during the week, they're for a while on Saturdays too!

We bring…read moreour cats here once a year for a check up and I always find they treat the animals (and us) very well. One of my cats was acting funny a few months ago - they looked sleepy all the time and were off their food. I was concerned so I took him down to our Vet who immediately diagnosed an abcess on his face. Turns out he had he been fighting with other cats outside and a wound had got infected. The Vet treated the wound and gave him an injection of antibiotics - within about three days he was back to himself and we were all relieved. I can't speak for other vets as I have not dealt directly with them but this place is very reputable and the staff are very friendly. You can tell they are all passionate about animals when you arrive which is always a good sign.

He has been here for 2 major operations and had other procedures such as dental work and x-rays done here as well as all the usual check up and vaccinations. The level of both professionalism and empathy that the staff have here is incredible. Our vet KV is the best, she takes such good care of my dog, she saved his life, I completely trust her with Sebastian. As well as the vet services, my dog is a sensitive soul who requires special Hill Diet formulated vet food. When ever we are due to run out the nurse calls us up to remind us to re order. When the food arrives she calls so we get it straight away. Their communication is great too, if you have an animal in their care they are available after hours, they really care about the animals and that is why they are so awesome at what they do.

So 13/01/2018 found me at Mt Eden Pet Doctors (first time I have ever been there) with my little 10…read moreMonth Persian kitten (Nyx) as she has breathing difficulty because of her pushed in nose, and needed a consultation to refer me to a specialist. When I arrived at the vets Nyx was quite distressed from having being taken far out of her comfort zone, not having her brother around didn't help either and with her breathing difficulties it wasn't exactly a great combination and at this point it started stressing me out. There was a little yorkshire terrier puppy in the waiting room too, who had not taken any notice of Nyx (nor Nyx of it) and there was nothing stressful nor any tension between the two. Out of nowhere this vet nurse shows up and snatches my carry-case with Nyx inside and says its no good to have the two in the same room then proceeds to put my cat away in an empty consultation room, and Nyx who was already stressed out at this point began TO ABSOLUTELY LOOSE HER MIND! She was screeching at the top of her voice and thrashing herself around her cage, something I have never ever ever seen her do before. The nurse just closed the door on Nyx and began chatting away with the owner of the puppy not paying any mind to Nyx and her clear distress to the situation. Let me stress once again SHE HAS BREATHING DIFFICULTIES!!!!! I barged in the room and made my presence known to little Nyx (taking her back to the waiting room despite the looks I received from the all knowing vet nurse) and immediately she calmed down, stopped screaming and thrashing around, and tamed it down to a occasional meow of distress. However because of the performance she was left completely unable to breath out of her nose, and was left panting like a dog... drooling and looking absolutely miserable. You'd think they would have had some sense of urgency about getting my cat seen to.... HALF AN HOUR AFTER OUR APPOINTMENT TIME they decide to see Nyx. HALF AN HOUR my baby was left GASPING for breath! The vet proceeded to spend a full 15 minutes (With Nyx still hyperventilating in her carrier) telling me about how terrible I am for owning a Persian, what an unfortunate breed they are, and how in her home country they are banned from advertising with these cats so as to prevent people from buying them. Im not sure why she decided that I was the perfect person to tell this too. I own two of them. And love them like my own flesh and blood. I tell everyone I know that I birthed these babies, and I'm not sure how she expected me to respond but she was greeted stoney silence and a face like thunder. At this point I was well beyond the point of leaving and screeching like a bleeding banchee on my way out whilst protectively clutching my baby to my chest. But I didn't want to have to put Nyx through any of this again. So I was relying heavily on this vet giving me a prognosis and referring me to a specialist. Finally she decided her speech was not going well and it was time to look at Nyx. Nyx stepped out of her carrier on the examination table and started walking towards me, but was rudely stopped by the vet who promptly stopped her in place by shoving her face straight into the table and holding her there. Once again should I mention NYX HAS A BREATHING PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN FLARED UP BECAUSE Of YOUR STAFF AND IGNORED FOR 30MINS, you are smothering her face down, causing her to panic once again!!!Every other vet visit she usually just sits on the table and looks annoyed while the vet pokes and prods, and this lady was being completely unreasonable. She then flicks Nyx's mouth open to look at her teeth. And promptly states "oh well that's no good" "Do you see her inflamed gums, there's a 70% chance she has feline HIV (FIV). There's no cure/treatment and she will eventually die after a few short years. Potentially the specialists might not be able to operate for her breathing condition dependent on the FIV results" She's said that they could test for it, but not today because they don't run tests over the weekend. So we are purely going on speculation over inflamed gums. She Listens to her chest and gasps at how flared up it is, that she can hear how Nyx is absolutely pulling for air (Nothing to do with her treatment while at this place ~sarcasm~) I spent the entirety of yesterday in tears and a state of dismay with thoughts of my babies withering away from a virus attacking their immune system and the terrible way Nyx was treated there. I couldn't say sorry enough to her! (TLDR) If you have a sensitive cat with separation anxiety, and prefer your bad news be delivered to you in a sensitive manner, not 100% based off speculation, without option of further clarification on the matter .... Pet Doctors Mt Eden is not the vet for you! In fact I would not recommend ANY animal be treated by them..
