Companion Animal Veterinarian

Otaki Vets is a busy companion animal clinic, situated in Otaki, on the beautiful Kapiti Coast.  As we grow,  an opportunity for a special companion animal veterinarian to join our team has arisen.  Otaki vet is a well equipped, community based clinic, offering a wide variety of surgery and treatment options for our lovely clients and their furry families.  We have an experienced and dedicated nursing and customer service team to support you as you care for our patients and their guardians. 

Otaki Vets places the patients we care for, at the heart of everything we do but we don’t forget about our team members.  Most of our team work on a permanent part time basis to allow for a good work – life balance.  Access to surgical and medicine specialists make referring patients easier as well as providing opportunities to expand knowledge and grow in areas of interest.
