Our Story

Built on Taranaki warmth

Coastal Vets started in 2012 when Dr. Maia Henare left a large Auckland practice to set up something more personal. She found a character villa on Devon Street, converted it into a light-filled clinic with a garden out back, and opened the doors with one nurse and a lot of determination. Today the team has grown to three vets and four nurses, but the philosophy hasn't changed — every animal gets unhurried, individual attention. The garden is still there too, and nervous dogs often get their consult outside under the pohutukawa.

What our clients say

"Maia and the team are incredible. Our old boy Max was so anxious at other clinics, but here they took him out to the garden and he actually relaxed. First time ever."

Max the Labrador

"Brought our rescue kitten in not knowing what to expect cost-wise. They gave us a community rate and didn't make us feel awkward about it. Genuine people."

Luna the kitten

"Our cat needed emergency surgery on a Saturday. They opened the clinic, kept us updated throughout, and Whiskers was home by Sunday evening. Can't thank them enough."

Whiskers

"Best vet experience we've had since moving to Taranaki. The puppy package was great value and the nurses are so patient with first-time dog owners like us."
