About Eltham Vet Services

We provide comprehensive 24-hour care for farm animals and family pets

Eltham Vet Services has been at the forefront of veterinary innovation and research since the 1960s, from pioneering Leptospirosis studies to groundbreaking Neospora research in the 1990s. As the first to introduce ultrasound scanning to Taranaki farms, we now perform thousands of sheep and cattle scans annually.

Our comprehensive 24-hour veterinary services cater to all farm animals and family pets. Whether you need expert care for a sick cow, cat, or dog, sheep scanning, or a whole herd health program, Eltham Vet Services is your top choice for veterinary services and advice in Eltham, New Zealand.

Our fully equipped companion animal surgery is ready for routine operations and late-night emergencies, ensuring your pets receive the best care possible. Click here to find out more.

Commitment to Education and Community Support

At Eltham Vet Services, we are dedicated to continuing education and supporting our farming community. We host farmer seminars and short courses to help enhance their farming business. Our past seminars have covered crucial topics such as Mastitis, Lameness, and a half-day seminar titled “Spring First Aid” for new entrants to the farming scene.

Sponsorship is a key part of our business philosophy. As a community-based organization, we believe in giving back to our local community. This year, we are proud to sponsor school calf days, rugby, soccer, and squash clubs, dog trials, the local Art Gallery and Theatre, and the local golf club, among others.

We also offer the Michael Higham Memorial Scholarship to a 4th-year veterinary student at Massey University. This scholarship, named in honor of the late son of our previous CEO, David Higham, supports the student for the final two years of their studies with a lump sum cash payment and a daily allowance while they practice with us. We view this scholarship as an investment in the future of rural veterinary practice.
