We understand that the COVID-19 virus is causing stress and uncertainty for all of our clients. We want you to know that we are following the guidelines of the World Health Organisation, the NZ Ministry of Health, and the NZ Veterinary Association to ensure that the risk of transmission of the virus is reduced in our hospital. We are working hard to ensure that we are able to stay fully operational and continue to provide care for our clients and their pets.

There is currently no evidence that animals play a role in the transmission of COVID-19 to humans, or vice versa.

We are NOT allowing any visitors into the hospital while the country is on alert level 4.  This is so that we can safely see pets owned by people who have tested positive for COVID-19 or those who are in self isolation, as well as those who are not. If you are in this category, we would be grateful if you can inform us of your arrival ahead of time so we can be fully prepared.

We would be grateful if all of those visiting our hospital could please be patient with our team – your visit may take a little more time than usual.

If you have any questions or need more information, please call us on 09 320 5645 or email us at info@vsnz.co.nz.
