What we're all about
For all of us at The Strand Veterinarian, our ambition is to create a care environment acceptable to the most discerning of clientele, our own precious four-legged familiars. A place to be nurtured and healed – a place where intuitively they feel the heart behind our service, and trust us to look after their best interests when it comes to their health.
When we talk about ‘heart’, for us that means a high standard of customer care, a commitment to increasing the skills and knowledge of our extraordinary team, and the creation of a space where love, respect and understanding of our client’s special relationship with their animal companion takes place.
Animals are magic in our lives – they are tangible manifestations of love – they are the bringers of joy and happiness. What could be more important than that?”

Our Felines | The Masters of DisguiseOur feline friends are the masters of disguise as for them, in a predatory world, it pays to keep your cards close to your chest. For this reason, osteoarthritis in cats is now the most commonly undiagnosed disease we see in veterinary medicine. As many as 1 in 3 cats suffer chronically from osteoarthritis. The majority of these never receive treatment and live a quiet life of chronic, debilitating pain.

Long After Everyone Has Forgotten....You Will Continue To RememberWhen you are losing, or have lost, a pet, you can find yourself in a very lonely place. No one will feel the loss in the same way you will. It will not affect their lives the way it affects yours. And you may resent the world around you for that.
What our clients say
Lonely Miaow has been rescuing stray cats and kittens from all parts of Auckland since 1995 with numbers now totalling 12,800. Sadly there are many more needing help and so since 2009 we have been delighted to partner with The Strand Veterinarian. These rescued strays are often sick and lacking in sociability. They require an immediate veterinary checkup by vets who know how to handle them sensitively, diagnose and treat their immediate problems, give pain relief and settle them into a warm and quiet environment whilst they await collection by a caring Lonely Miaow foster home. The Strand Veterinarian do everything required in a professional and caring manner. They, and we, could not ask for more.
