Local vets -  nationwide  support

At VetEnt veterinary clinics, your animals are in safe hands. Our vets are not only great with animals, we’re great with people, too.

 

We’re experts in listening, advising and supporting optimal animal health in both livestock and pets. You’ll find our veterinarians with their sleeves rolled up, working in modern vet clinics alongside rural communities throughout New Zealand. Even though we have clinics nationwide, we are owned by local people who live in your area. We have shareholders both young and old, female and male, veterinarians and non-veterinarians from Otago to Waikato and many places in between. Your local VetEnt veterinary clinic has the support of 75 vets nationwide.

  

VetEnt stands for "Veterinary Enterprises Group." We are New Zealand’s largest vet company, operating from 21 vet clinics around the clock. The combined knowledge pool and purchasing power of the VetEnt group guarantees you the best expertise and advice and product availability even in times of high demand. Find out more about our 24/7 vet clinic group services from our dairy veterinarians, cattle and sheep team and pet vets or find your nearest veterinary clinic.

Seasonal Tips - Autumn

DAIRY FARMERS

  • Need upskilling or a refresher for you or your staff on the essentials for this spring? Many of our clinics run training courses on spring first aid and or heifer rearing, speak to your local clinic today. 
  • Now’s also a great time to clean out, disinfect the calf sheds and stock up on the necessities for calving. Be ready for those early calves.
  • Sorted your spring trace element supplementation programme, ring and talk to one of our vets about the right programme for your herd.

SHEEP & BEEF FARMERS

  • Plan your pre-lamb treatments with your local VetEnt team
  • Lamb survival is a key part of ewe performance. Talk to your local vet about investigating what might be limiting lamb survival on your farm
  • Remember iodine and 5in1 for stock going onto brassica crops
  • Are your heifers on track to hit target weight at mating?

PET OWNERS

  • Correct nutrition can help common ailments of your pet during the cold winter months; 

  • Added supplements to help support joint function and ease arthritic pain can be hugely beneficial. 
  • Antioxidants can help keep immune system bolstered and help fight common infections.
  • And like many of us, as we move into a more sedentary pace of life limited by the winter weather, it is wise to evaluate the energy needed.

VetEnt offers great career opportunities and development to all our staff and is a proud supporter of diversity and equality. We place great importance on recruitment policies, training and development programs whilst fostering a supportive culture to ensure that all employees enjoy the opportunity to succeed.
