Our History

Formed in 1937, Eltham District Veterinary Services (Inc) is the oldest Vet Club in Taranaki.

From a single vet in those days to a 10-vet practice now, we have served the farms and family pets of Central and South Taranaki with distinction for over 60 years.

History of our clinic

The impressive brick and concrete building we work out of is the old Eltham Courthouse, opened in 1908 by then Prime Minister, Sir Joseph Ward. It was purchased by this organisation after closure by the Department of Justice in 1951 and is now classified as an Historic Place.

Our fully stocked shelves contain all your animal health needs for large and small animals. Open plan, and easy to find what you’re looking for, there is always someone ready to help you decide what you need.

We renovated in winter 2019 and earthquake-strengthened our reception, retail and consultation area in the old historic courthouse building and added an extra consultation room to allow for the increasing amount of companion animal work we are doing.

Our main warehouse at the Eltham clinic is stocked with all your requirements, both big and small. For competitive deals and free delivery of bulk orders contact our trading manager, John Larkin (0274 482 585) or our Farm Services manager, Daniel Kidd (027 547 9261)

Our newly renovated premises make finding the product you’re looking for simple and fun. If you’re not sure what you want, there is always someone ready to lend a helping hand.
