Animal Health Examinations
Pets age seven times faster than humans, so a trip to the vets every year is like a trip to the doctors even 7 years for us! For this reason it is a good idea to ensure your pet receives a health examination at least once a year. Our veterinarians will give your pet a thorough clinical examination and it is a good opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have about the health or wellbeing of your beloved family member.
Convenient Hours & 24 Hour Service
We are open 7 days a week and late nights to ensure we can schedule you and your pet in at a time that suits. If you have an emergency, or an urgent query that is outside of our opening hours the Waikato After Hours Veterinary Hospital have a dedicated team committed to providing emergency care to your pet until they can be seen here at Cambridge Vets.
Dental Check-ups, Surgery & Care
At Cambridge Vets we take premium dental care SERIOUSLY. It is an important part of taking care of your pet’s overall health and well-being. Periodontal disease is the most commonly diagnosed disease in pets but thankfully it is also one of the easiest to manage. Call us to book a dental check up today.
Export Certificates
Our veterinarians are registered for the Australian exportation process. Please contact us for more details.
House Calls
If you are unable to bring your pet into the veterinary clinic for any reason, we are able to schedule in a veterinarian for house visits for any procedure that does not require surgery. For example, euthanasias and vaccinations.
Micro-chipping
A micro-chip is a small metal chip which is about the size of a grain of rice. It is inserted into the scruff of an animal’s neck and is a simple procedure which can be done without anaesthetic. It contains a number which is unique to that animal, enabling secure and reliable life-long identification. Cambridge Vets provides owners the option of registering their pet with the New Zealand Companion Animal Register and this option is available for both cats and dogs. It is a legal requirement for all dogs to be micro-chipped. More information can be found at the local council.
Nail Clipping
Our qualified nurses can clip your pets’ nails for you. If you feel comfortable, our nurses can also teach you how to clip your pets’ nails yourself without causing trauma.
Nutritional Advice
Pet-food! It is a topic that is frequently over-looked and the value of good quality nutrition is often under-valued. Our staff are trained to ensure we can provide your pet with the nutrition it needs.
Pet De-Sexing

We can offer advise on a range of topics including the best products to use or different options of treatments and/or services we can provide.

Intensive Care & Monitoring
Isolation Ward
We are equipped with an isolation ward to house those patients that may be either immune-compromised or may have a contagious disease. This ensures the safety of all our patients and staff and enables us to better manage these cases.
Ultrasonography
This machine produces sound waves to give veterinarians a real-time image of the internal structures of an animal. Organs such as the liver, spleen, bladder and uterus can be visualised. There are no known side effects to the patient and can be useful to assist the veterinarian by providing a glimpse into what is happening internally in the patient.
Misalliance Therapy
Surgeries
Including routine surgeries such as de-sexing, orthopaedics, abscess drainage and general surgery.
Other Services
Artificial Insemination
This procedure is usually performed when dogs will not mate naturally for what ever reason. Fresh sperm is collected from the male, checked for quality and inserted directly into the female via special equipment.
DNA Testing
Euthanasia
We have several options for owners to help make this difficult time as smooth as possible. We are able to arrange home visits and have different choices on how ashes are returned if required. If ashes are not required the pet is sent to Pet Farewells in Hamilton and is cremated. Their ashes are scattered on a rose garden at the cremetorium which can be visited by the public.
Additional Services
Behavioural Advice/Consultations
Is your dog barking excessively? Or do you have a cat that has just started urinating inappropriately? Maybe you just need some extra guidance on training your new puppy? Our staff can give you over-the-counter advice. If a case requires some extra attention, for a small fee, we can arrange for you and your pet to have a one-on-one behavioural consultation with one of our trained and experienced nurses. You will receive a written report on the consultation with some practical tips and advice.
