Northlands Animal Care Hospital Northlands Animal Care Hospital is a purpose-built companion animal veterinary hospital in Papanui, Christchurch. We also offer ultrasound imaging.

We are open 7 days a week, including public holidays, and pride ourselves in our caring, quality service. Northlands Animal Care Hospital was first established in the Papanui area in 1981. We then outgrew our original
location (opposite Northlands Mall) and in 2000 moved into a brand new purpose built hospital, which complies
with strict “American Animal Hospital Association Standards” and is loca

ted on the corner of Cranford Street and Main North Road. Your pet’s health and well-being are our highest priority! It is our goal to preserve and strengthen that,

We are happy to answer all questions about your pet’s health anytime! Our surgical procedures use state of the art equipment in which we perform a wide range of procedures from soft tissue and cancer treatment to more advanced orthopaedic and reconstructive operations. We have a modern onsite lab that gives us a complete blood picture and internal profile in less than 15 minutes. Our radiology suite provides while you wait x-rays. We can then develop an appropriate treatment plan for your pet. We welcome all new puppies and kittens into our practice and we have wellness plans for pets of every age.

A satisfying dental before and after! Does your dog or cat have stinky breath or yucky teeth? We have a brand new dental x-ray machine, meaning we can get more advanced diagnostic information about your pet's teeth.

Just like when you visit your dentist, we take x-rays to have a look at what is going on inside the tooth and under the gum, to make sure we are keeping your pet's teeth happy and healthy.

Give us a call to book in for a consult or dental if your pet needs their annual dental check and clean!

Thank you for celebrating Vet Nurse Awareness Week with us! We have some final words from Dr Keryn to share with you, regarding her thoughts on our amazing nursing team.

"My absolute favourite thing about working with the Northlands Animal Care Hospital nursing team is how in any time of need, everyone pulls together… always, no questions asked.... Just; 'yes, where do you need me?'

Veterinary medicine is unpredictable, and no two days are the same. Emergencies happen unpredictably, and these nurses chip in; they pull double shifts, they stay late to clean up, they deal with p*e, poo, vomit and blood daily - sometimes without a coffee or toilet break - and often instead of time with their families.

They prep surgery, they support the surgeon, they council clients, they care! Northlands nurses are exceptional and every one of them is a testament to themselves and our profession. I would not be half the vet I am without them in my corner."

Chris is our newest team member, and is finding his feet amongst our family.

With his customer service and IT background Chris is invaluable in reception, and always keen to get into all surgical cases. He thrives in the hospital environment, seeing to all the little things that make our hospital patients a little more comfy.

Kimmy is the busiest little body there is!

She's been with us now for 12+ years and has never wavered in her dedication to us, our clients and her profession. She shines when multitasking from cattery to cleaning, from restocking to last minute emergency anaesthetics! Not to mention, she is our bladder expresser extraordinaire.

Bree is the most positive person out there.

Even as a busy new mom, nothing is too much. She gets stuck in with nursing shifts, admin, rep meetings and even afterhours house calls to drop off meds or food, or check on our patients and all with a huge smile and positive attitude.
