Keep up to date with the latest news at Vets North!
As we head into the festive season, the Vets North team is looking forward to a well-deserved break — and a chance to celebrate a big year together. Below you’ll find all the details you need about our December and January hours, plus who to contact if you need urgent care outside these times.
To allow our entire team (and their families!) to come together for our end-of-year celebration, a few of our clinics will be closing slightly earlier than usual:
Waimauku & Kumeu: Closing at 2:00pm (normally 3.00pm)
Silverdale & Helensville: Closing at 12:30pm (no change)
Thank you for your understanding as we give our hardworking crew a moment to relax, connect, and celebrate another year of caring for your animals.
All Vets North clinics will be closed on the following statutory holidays:
Thursday 25 December – Christmas Day
Friday 26 December – Boxing Day
Thursday 1 January – New Year’s Day
Friday 2 January – Day after New Year’s Day
We’ll be back to normal hours outside of these dates.
If your animals need help when our clinics are closed, here’s who to contact:
📞 0800 VTS NTH (0800 887 684) – Our on-call vets are available.
For urgent care, please contact:
Animal Referral Centre (Albany): 09 281 5815
VSA Animal Emergency (Henderson): 09 849 2121

From all of us at Vets North, thank you for trusting us with your furry, fleecy, and feathered family members throughout the year. We hope you all enjoy a relaxing and joy-filled festive season — and we look forward to seeing you (and your animals) in 2026.
Warmly,
