Cat Friendly Clinic - Gold - awarded February 2019
East Coast Bays Vet Clinic has achieved the internationally-recognised Cat-Friendly Clinic Gold level accreditation
“We wanted to make sure that a trip to our clinic was as stress-free an experience as possible for our cat patients and their owners. Cats can get very anxious when taken out of their usual environment, and this can make owners reluctant to seek veterinary attention when their cat needs it. By undertaking Cat-Friendly Clinic accreditation, we’ve committed to delivering high standards of cat care, with compassion and expertise.”
Best Practice Accredited - awarded in July 2018.
We are proud to announce our Best Practice accreditation! Best Practice is a NZ Veterinary Association initiative to encourage excellence in Veterinary Medicine.
We are the first clinic on the North Shore to achieve this standard and it provides further assurance that you are trusting your pet to safe care. The accreditation involves voluntarily submitting ourselves to a stringent and comprehensive scrutiny of the facility, staff and operational standards every two years by an independent auditor.
Being a voluntary set of standards, it is a clear indication that our team is professional, organised and motivated to provide excellence of care for your pet.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
