Testimonials
Arthur
Having to euthanise your beloved pet is never easy, so when Gemma's in-house mobile vet service on Waiheke Island was made known to us, we said, absolutely, this is the option for us. Doing this at home, and where Gemma, who is so considerate and caring, and where we could have friends and family gathered, was a really beautiful experience. I can recommend Gemma and her mobile in-house veterinary services with the highest of commendation.
Vicky & Nic
We visited Gemma with our very sick kitten for a second opinion and she was so lovely. Gemma was so gentle with Terry, very caring, helpful and explained things very clearly to us which we really appreciated. She's professional and thorough, I'd definitely recommend Gemma to anyone and will always trust her with our fur babies!
Vicky & Nic, Waiheke Island.

Dr Gemma put our elderly cat Mrs Pussy Poo Poos down when her quality of life really started to deteriorate and the options for medical treatment would have been too taxing on the old girl to go through. Gemma was excellent at communicating Mrs PPPs' condition to us and extremely patient, professional, reassuring and empathetic during the whole experience - from figuring out when the time was right to giving us options for her body post mortem. It was sad of course but being able to keep Mrs PPPs at home made the end of her life peaceful and as low stress as possible. Gemma is a wonderful vet and it'll be great for the island's animals and owners to have this service.
Maggie, Waiheke Island.
