Pet Doctors Taradale has been established in Napier for over 40 years. We have a strong commitment to maintaining the highest ethical and medical standards; and to treating our clients and colleagues with the utmost respect. Over the years ‘Todd’ our clinic tabby has become well known as he basks in attention at the reception desk. ‘Poppa Todd’ often comforts patients and kittens in the hospital; he does such an awesome job that he has his own employment contract signed in ‘paw’.

Wow, June already! Must be because we have all had plague - finally we are all feeling much better 🙃

We’ve had some exciting milestones and learning opportunities to celebrate at the clinic recently.

🎉 Kaitlyn has now been with us for a whole year!
🎉 And tomorrow, Emily celebrates an incredible 3 years with our team!

We’re so proud of both of them and the dedication they show to their professional development.

Recently, kaitlyn, Emily, and Amy all attended an anaesthesia course through our Veterinary Training centre, further expanding their skills and knowledge to help provide the very best care for your pets.

Learning never stops here! 📚

👏 Claire, our Head Nurse, has recently completed a pathology course, enhancing her knowledge in laboratory diagnostics.

👏 Heather has completed an advanced dentistry course through the KahuVet Education Centre, helping us continue to provide high-quality dental care for our patients.

👏 Linda is currently completing online workshops in ophthalmology and ultrasound, further developing her expertise in these important areas of veterinary medicine.

🐱 A special shout-out to Natasha and Kaitlyn, who have been busy hand-rearing two tiny kittens from day one. The darker one started out black and is now fully frosted - such an I unusual coat.

We’re incredibly fortunate to have a team that is passionate about ongoing education, exceptional patient care, and going the extra mile for animals in need. Investing in our team’s knowledge means we can continue to provide the best possible care for the pets and families who trust us with their health.

Please join us in congratulating Kaitlyn, Emily, Amy, Claire, Heather, Linda, and Natasha on their achievements and the wonderful work they do every day! 🐾

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone — 20 years of Dr. Linda Welch at Taradale Vets

Many of our clients will know Linda through consults, surgeries, emergency call-outs, or simply the calm and caring way she looks after both pets and their people. Over the past 20 years, Linda has been an invaluable part of our clinic

Linda truly is an all-rounder veterinarian — exceptional in medicine, highly skilled in complex medical cases, and an incredibly talented surgeon. She has dedicated countless hours to caring for animals, including after-hours work, weekends, and emergencies

Linda and I have personally worked together for 16/17 years - and boy have we got some stories, Linda I feel so lucky to work along side you 🙂

We put together a scrapbook for Linda as a keepsake to look back on - she loved it

Thank you Linda — Taradale Vet Hospital is so lucky to have you ❤️

Happy World Vet Day ladies

Today we celebrate the incredible knowledge, talent, and skill that veterinarians bring to their work every single day.

From pathology to general practice, radiology to dentistry, ultrasound to surgery — eyes, gastrointestinal cases, C-sections, bladder stone removals, and those tricky medicine cases… all on patients who can’t tell you what’s wrong. It’s truly remarkable.

The Taradale nurses feel so privileged to work alongside such a wonderful team — Linda, Heather, Rachel, Natasha, and Camille.
A special mention as well to Bridgette for always stepping in to help, and to Clive who still pops in to visit 😊

We also want to recognise the amazing veterinarians who have been part of our clinic in the past, the urgent care vets who allow us to rest after hours, and the wider veterinary community who support each other through referrals and shared care.

It really does feel like one big team, all working towards the same goal — the very best care for our patients.

Happy World Vet Day to you all — you are truly amazing and I know our clients absolutely are so grateful 🩷
