Who we are

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.

Fantastic service for an emergency appointment. The practice was accommodating and the vet was excellent, examining our dog in the car to avoid the discomfort
