Our team of experienced, qualified veterinarians offer video call, voice call or messenger consultation options.

​

Often your regular vet will have a very busy schedule and may not have the time to talk through your pet's condition and answer all your questions, the online vet can help increase your knowledge and confidence in managing your pet's condition.

​

Particularly in New Zealand, some people can live quite far away from their regular veterinarian so online veterinary consults can help bridge the gap and increase the quality of care you can offer your pet. 

​

Unsure if you need to visit the vet? we can talk through your pet's issue outlining potential causes, treatment options and prognosis with you.

​

No question is too big or small, we are here to help!

TESTIMONIALS

Rubi & Charli

Itsuki was the best! She was very patient with our young Bulldog and showed a great deal of compassion. We found she was honest, flexible with her time when meeting with us, and no hidden fees (great value)! She and Louise have all our business in the future for our two dogs and two cats. We have told all our friends and acquaintances that she is the only person to take their pets to. For many decades we have been frustrated with the Veterinary system in New Zealand. We do feel that our beloved pets are often looked at as “revenue generating business units”. This is categorically not the case with Itsuki. We highly recommend her to all. We trust their business will continue to grow.

Itsuki and Louise were incredibly helpful when it came to a home visit for our dog Zed. Zed isn’t particularly keen on visiting an actual vet clinic, so having them both come to our house was extremely helpful. They spent some time getting to know Zed, to build up his trust. Although we didn’t get to the end goal of not using the chill protocol, we made some great progress and will continue to work with the team at Vet Online Consult for our home consults where required. Louise and Itsuki were so friendly, and are animal lovers through and through.

We wholeheartedly trust Itsuki with our two dogs!  Her expertise in caring for sighthounds is unmatched, and her gentle approach speaks volumes. Itsuki's compassionate demeanor and deep understanding of our sensitive boy, Jack-Jack, have truly put our minds at ease. It's evident that she genuinely cares for our pet, prioritising their well-being above all else. Without hesitation, we highly recommend her to anyone in search of exceptional care for their furry companions.
