CareVets Glen Eden

I went to the clinic with my seriously ill cat. I had called twice before indicating that it would be an appointment for an euthanisia. I waited in the very busy and loud reception room for 20 minutes with my friend, who was holding the cat in a towel in his arm. I went twice to the reception asking how much longer we have to wait, as the cat started to get irritated. I was asked if I wanted to reschedule. Any other vet I have been to before had a much more respectful way of dealing with the situation. I will not be back.

I have been coming to CareVets Glen Eden for several years. Last August my cat, Tangerine, became very sick, and after two days of tests and scans, the vet said that his condition was terminal. I came back to the clinic to say goodbye to Tangerine and the vets and staff were wonderful. They were very caring and sympathetic and answered all my questions. I remember a windy walk home from CareVets carrying an empty cat cage with tears pouring down my face. I didn't encounter anyone on the walk home, not that it would have bothered me if I had, as I was not embarrassed by my tears, and very few people walk anywhere nowadays anyway. Just before Christmas, I adopted two black, eight-week-old kittens from an unwanted litter of five from the SPCA, and they too deserve their chance at a better life. To each his own, but I have never subscribed to the thinking that the loss of a pet should cancel out ownership in the future. I have adopted many cats in the past, all strays, and know that I did my best for them gave them a better life that every animal deserves. I broke my heart over them all when they passed on, but I never allowed that to influence my thinking in caring for more animals. I have been helping a family on Gt North Road with their cats for three years and also on Dominion Road, Mt Eden where I initiated the rescue and rehoming of a colony of cats 12 years ago. There are currently four cats left and I have been feeding them over the last few days as the owners are away on holiday. Thank you for the opportunity to write a review. Ruth Moreau

We have been going to Carevets Glen Eden since 2000. They have always been very kind and empathetic to us humans and our precious animals. Thankyou Gina, Amanda, Aiden, Emma, Rua, Melissa, Fiona and Petra especially, but all the staff have been lovely, and very knowledgeable and helpful. Pet parents can trust them to look after your pets in a caring way.
