Equine & Farm Services
The Vet Centre provides a complete range of animal health supplies and veterinary services for all farm and life style animals. Three full time vets primarily look after this area of service, but are supported by the rest of the team. The support staff are trained in the knowledge of the supplies available at our clinic in Richmond and Motueka.
We now have a portable ultrasound and digital x-ray unit and so we can bring the diagnostics to you
On the road, our sales representative, Tim Varley, can be contacted for information on product and sales.
The Vet Centre covers a large geographical area ranging from the East of Nelson, Cable Bay, through to Murchison and west to the Motueka River Valley, and north to Takaka Hill. Our vets use 4 wheel drive vehicles, so accessibility is not a problem.

Our dedicated veterinarians
We are a team of dedicated veterinarians and nurses providing a broad medical and surgical service to all companion animals and production animals. Based in a purpose built facility, equipped with modern equipment to provide a broad range of diagnostic, medical, advisory and surgical services.
In todays advanced veterinary environment, veterinary nurses provide a critical role in the delivery of quality veterinary care. Without their expertise, professionalism and care, veterinary clinics would not be able to provide the medical and surgical care expected by todays public.
