Happy (Semi) Retirement, Alex!

In 2011, it was just the Alex & Anneke starting up Lincoln Village Vets -what an incredible journey it has been! Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful pets and their families, and we’ve loved being part of something bigger: this amazing community. Some of our patients have been with us since day one, and it has been an absolute joy watching them grow and being there for them through every stage of their lives.

This weekend, we celebrated those 13 incredible years and Alex’s well-earned retirement. But don’t worry—this isn’t a final farewell! Alex will still be around as a locum, so her familiar, caring presence won’t disappear completely.

Our dedicated core team, who have been with us for many years, will continue to provide the same compassionate care you’ve come to trust.

Thank you all for being part of this journey with us. Here’s to the next chapter—onwards we go!

Christmas time is here .. and this handsome, friendly boy is looking for his happy ever after.

Hugo is a 4.5year old domestic short haired cat. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Hugo is a very happy boy who loves cuddles, playing games and hanging out with his people however, he has a few challenges that make him special.

Ideally, Hugo would go to a single pet home. Hugo struggles with allergic skin disease which is managed with constant monitoring and intervention as needed

For his allergies, it is vital that Hugo stays strictly on a special prescription diet for the rest of his life- this is another reason that other animals in the house are impractical. For the same reason, houses with very young children are not suitable as good may be dropped.

Would you like to provide loving home that this sweet boy? Are you in a position to take on his medical challenges and give him the happy life he deserves?

If you think Hugo may fit into your family, please contact us for a chat or with any questions.

Such a brave goose!

Unfortunately, we misplaced the contact details for the caring family who brought us this injured goose they found by the Liffey a couple of weeks ago.

We wanted to let you know that despite his horrific injuries from (most likely) a dog attack he is doing amazing and is fighting hard to make a full recovery💕

He’s got his goose-ness back and has recently moved outside to meet some friendly hospital mates 🪿🪿🪿

He is really lucky that you found him when you did!

Merry Christmas 🎄

Lincoln Village Vets is now closed for the statutory holidays over Christmas.

Christmas is nearly upon us 🎄How quickly this year has flown by!

With our increased workload in the lead up to the holidays, and the ongoing worldwide staff shortages in the veterinary world, Lincoln Village Vets have made the difficult decision to close our books temporarily to new clients. This will allow us to ensure we have sufficient time to meet all our existing patients' needs.

We are currently booked up for routine surgery appointments (desexing, dentals etc.) until next year. Our appointment books for consultations are looking very busy every day too. To allow for the increase in urgent treatments that we usually see at this time of the year, we will be limiting appointments to pressing and urgent cases. This includes minor sickness or ailments that are likely to get worse if left untreated (sore eyes, ears, abscesses) as well as acute emergencies. We will however, where possible, be booking vaccinations and other non-urgent consultations for early next year.

Our staff are currently working over-time and will continue to do so to ensure ongoing care for all our patients in their moment of need.

If you are already enrolled with us, please do not hesitate to contact us for an appointment if your pet is unwell. We may not always be able to see you at the time most desirable to you but we will try to accommodate everyone the best we can. By closing our books and limiting non-crucial appointments we will be able to support the well-being of our existing patients and maintain a high level of care for all.

Thank you for your understanding and patience 😊

Lincoln Community Cat Owners Microchipping Update.

Yes! It is true! From 1st July this year, all cats over the age of 4 months living in Selwyn must be microchipped.

Many of the cats around Lincoln are already microchipped. If you are unsure, please feel free to phone us & we can arrange to check your cat for a microchip.

At the time of microchipping, if done at Lincoln Village Vets, your cat will have been registered with the NZCAR (New Zealand Companion Animal Register). They are also the organisation running the “free microchipping for adult cats during July” campaign that you will have seen advertised online. This is the NZCAR campaign and is not run by the vets. We have no control over how that is run or who qualifies – they have set the rules. We have opted to join their campaign as it will provide a small number of clients with a free microchip.

The conditions under which we are to operate, are as follows:
1. FREE microchipping is available for a limited number of cats over 1 year of age

2. We can only offer FREE microchipping for cats that are coming in to see us for another reason (like vaccination, desexing, or regular medication checks)

3. The number of FREE microchips available under this scheme is extremely limited. They will be offered on a first-come-first-serve basis to existing clients.

As this offer will only benefit a very limited number of cats, at Lincoln Village Vets we have decided to reduce the cost of microchipping for all cats during the months of July & August. This will include cats who do not qualify under this scheme, including those under a year old, and all adult cats. Microchipping with another procedure will temporarily be reduced to $39 (normally $52) including registration with the NZCAR. Microchipping and registration without other procedures will be reduced down to $54 (normally $72) Please note; this procedure will be performed by a qualified veterinary nurse and does not include a veterinary consultation. If you would prefer to see one of our vets, please mention this when booking – the usual fee of $72 for microchipping will then apply.

Please phone us on 03 3257250 to make an appointment or if you have any questions
