We loved hearing from the Turner family about their journey with us - and of course, seeing their gorgeous, fluffy sidekick Buddy! 💛

In this busy, love-filled household, Buddy is the heart of the family - and having a vet team they can rely on makes all the difference. Thank you to the Turners for sharing your story. Your kind words mean the world to us.

Hit play to see why Buddy’s part of the Nelson Vets family 🐶✨

Meet Ted, the charming spoodle we all adore – and his human, Richard Peterson, a skilled orthopaedic surgeon (for humans!). 🩺🐶

Richard knows a thing or two about precision, care, and the importance of great outcomes – and we’re incredibly proud to have earned his trust when it comes to Ted’s health and wellbeing.

We absolutely LOVE seeing Ted come through our doors – tail wagging, full of personality – and it means the world to know that his family feels just as confident and cared for as he does.

Thank you, Richard, for your kind words and for trusting us with your four-legged family member. 💛
