We are always amazed at the amount of pets that visit Abbotts Way Vet from the Ellerslie area. Ellerslie is a pet lovers centre and being close to Remuera we do tend to get a lot of clientele from Ellerslie who have been with us for many years.
Apart from the racecourse Ellerslie has a thriving community with a great shopping centre, plenty of parks to walks the dogs in and it is not uncommon to see the locals frequenting the local bars, cafes and so on with a water bowl and a dog at their feet. Ellerslie is a pet lovers paradise and as vets servicing the area we are proud to be associated with the district.
Pets are accepted well in the community and an active cat lovers is prevalent via the rescue centre established in 1996.
