Horses of all sizes and types are a very large part of The Vet Centre's activities.

We have special relationships with various groups, such as Pony Clubs and Endurance Riding Groups. We offer services to Riding for the Disabled and periodically run information evenings on relevant horse related topics.

We offer a whole range of routine services from blood samples, equine dentistry and vaccinations to pregnancy scanning and artificial insemination. For sick and injured horses we have a portable x-ray machine, endoscope and ultrasound machine to aid us in diagnosing the problem as well as the in-house laboratory to process blood and urine samples.

Dairy Cattle

Apart from having a large clinical knowledge of the dairy cow requirements and health, John also has studied extensively in Dairy Nutrition, Mastitis and Milk Production. Disease issues are varied and because of our slightly warmer climate we are prone to some diseases more often seen in the North Island. In the Spring issues typically encountered are calving or dystocia problems and injuries associated with calving.

Sheep & Beef

The Vet Centre offers a range of services to these farms mainly focused on animal health programmes aimed at preventing disease occurrence with a considerable emphasis on preparation of ewes for mating and maximising the percentage of lambs born and later tailed and weaned.

Deer

In the latter years there has been a drop off in the number of deer farmers in Nelson due largely to poor returns and changing land use, but as a veterinary practice we still work with around 40 dedicated deer farmers. The Elk type animal are more prone to some health issues, such as parasites, compared to the hardier Red Deer which are smaller in frame but breed more consistently with on average less health issues.

Dr John Mace has attended numerous courses and conferences on alpacas, and Dr Andrew Conway grazed several breeding Alpacas on his property for 2 years for an overseas client.

Greypaws

A regular, six-monthly Grey Paws health screening for senior pets allows your vet to detect, treat and hopefully prevent serious health problems before they become life-threatening. Many of these health problems are treatable if diagnosed in time but, unfortunately, many pets don’t see their veterinarian as often as they should.
