Kaipara Farm Vets

08/10/2026

Shared after-hours cover from Monday 12 October

Now that calving is behind us, Kaipara Farm Vets and Sustainable Vets are teaming up to run a combined after-hours service for farm clients across the Kaipara.

Sharing the roster gives our vets a manageable workload and helps make the Kaipara a great place for vets to work, so we can keep looking after your animals for the long haul.

What it means for you:
Same number. Call your usual clinic number. From 5pm to 8am you'll be put through to the vet on duty that week.

Emergencies only. No medicines are sold or dispensed after hours.

Billing. The vet who attends will charge you directly.

Pets. For dogs, cats and other small animals after hours, please contact your small animal clinic.

Nothing changes during normal clinic hours. Questions? Give us a call on 09 439 0007

Well spring is officially here!

As much as we love the extra daylight hours it does bring challenges for some horses with the quick growing new grass.

We stock Duwell Tox Tame to help those horses affected as well as Duwell liquid and chelated Magnesium.

Also with the warm and wet crazy weather we’re seeing a few fungal infections.

We have some selected Honey Trap products in stock
Sulphur wash bar which is a great easy way to help keep skin healthy, active manuka honey and their wound spray for any problem issues.

We have Hoof juice antibacterial and antifungal treatment for chronic thrush, seedy toe and abscesses. Hoof putty for any cracks or white line disease and hoof abscesses.

If you’re looking to get saddles and boots ready for the upcoming season, we have Honey Trap Leather Cleaner and Leather Witch conditioner.

Wow—4 years since Kaipara Farm Vets began!

As one of our owners puts it, “It’s certainly been an unforgettable journey, but we’ve never lost sight of the reason we started… our community.”

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past four years. We’re so grateful to be part of this community and look forward to many more years ahead 🐄💚
