Located on the main shopping street of Petone, close to public transport and with ample parking nearby, Vetcare Petone is a purpose-built standalone clinic that’s open 7 days a week and is a short stroll to Petone beach.

We are a long-standing, well-established clinic where clients visit from all over the Hutt Valley. We are a passionate, hardworking, fun-loving team who enjoy connecting with our in-clinic book club or Petone Social Club where we meet for dinner or activities outside of work. We support a learning environment where CPD and wellness are at the forefront of our values.

Our practice offers appointments and surgical procedures with three consult rooms, sterile surgery room, a large prep area including full laboratory facilities, digital x-rays, dental equipment and ultrasound. We have separate cat and dog wards as well as a large retail space and dedicated client care superstars working alongside a large, experienced nursing team.
