It is my pleasure to categorically state my support for a company that I believe the City of Hamilton and indeed the wider Waikato region can be very proud of. Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre (previously Hamilton Veterinary Services) has been carrying out my equine work since 1981. Since 1987, Dr Douglas Black has been Te Akau Racing Stable and Stud’s veterinary surgeon – a role that he has executed with total professionalism and expertise at all times during this long association. Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre is a well organised practice that comprises highly skilled veterinary surgeons and support staff. As a practice, it also stays in touch with worldwide developments in equine veterinary practice meaning our horses are receiving the best care possible. They have a common sense approach to veterinary care and service and I am proud to have had a partnership with them for over 30 years.

Since starting our farm in 1996 Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre (previously Hamilton Veterinary Services) has been our vet practice. WEVC has given us in that entire time wonderful service to both ourselves and our clients in all aspects of veterinary care which has helped us grow and develop our business. We note the high quality of vets through the practice means whatever problems we have there will be somebody with the expertise in the practice to help us resolve the problem. The state of the art facilities at the practice are a great compliment to the high quality of veterinary service we as clients receive.

I have been dealing with Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre (previously Hamilton Veterinary Services) for over 10 years now and I always find them prompt, accessible and highly professional. All of the veterinary team are excellent and easy to deal with. The practice itself has all of the up to date medical and diagnostic equipment which is a must when dealing with our high performance winning thoroughbred horses. The office team is efficient and very easy to deal with in all areas. I would definitely recommend Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre to any new trainers coming to Cambridge or the surrounding area.

Pencarrrow Stud was established in 1981 and throughout this time Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre (Division of Hamilton Veterinary Services) has catered for our veterinary requirements. This has involved every aspect, including Surgical, reproductive, racehorses, yearling sales (sale and purchase) and general husbandry. I have found this company to operate to the highest possible standards in every area. From receptionists and nurses to administration and obviously veterinarians themselves. They have an enviable blend of technical expertise and practical experience. The development of our operation could not have been achieved without expert veterinary support. Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre (Division of Hamilton Veterinary Services) has been an integral part of Pencarrow Stud for 30 years and we look forward to the continuation of this relationship.

I am a Taranaki-based dressage rider and instructor and have, on several occasions, required the services of the equine specialists at Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre (previously Hamilton Veterinary Services). They have always been available for immediate advice, and have truly gone the extra mile on every such occasion. It is wonderful to know my horse’s care is handled in the most professional and confident manner. If you value your horses like I do, I can highly recommend the professional expertise of Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre.
