We are an independent, family owned, companion animal practice, passionate about providing a high standard of care to all Pegasus pets.
Right from the early days of clinic design, our focus has been to create a low-stress environment where you and your pet are warmly welcomed and are treated with compassion and respect. We love our own pets deeply and are keenly aware of how special and important your pets are to your families.
We are open-minded, we respect your perspective, and we are here to listen and share. We are all on a journey together and we find ourselves learning everyday how to improve your pets health, your relationship with them, and their enjoyment of life. We are building a future for our family and care deeply about the impact our activities now have on our family’s future experience on this planet. We have strong aspirations to adopt and develop sustainable and low waste clinic practices and supply chains.
We aim to personally provide emergency afterhours care as much as possible. We see this as an important part of providing a consistent personal veterinary service. Like everyone we do need nights off as a family, we need some weekends off, and we need to take family holidays. As such there are going to be some nights or weekends where afterhours emergencies will be referred.
In a genuine afterhours emergency where your pet is very sick or injured please call the clinic line (03) 740 0692.
Please note – Emergency Afterhours consultation price is $150 (incl GST) and all services and medications have an additional 30% afterhours surcharge.
If you call on an evening where our personal afterhours service is closed we have made an arrangement for emergencies to be covered by the Rangiora Emergency Vet Hospital, Cnr Lehmans Rd and Oxford Road, Rangiora. Our phone system should divert your call directly but if you have any issues the link below provides all the information you need.

As many of you know, we are a privately owned veterinary practice, and over the years our clinic has grown busier than we ever imagined. We are incredibly grateful for the trust and support our community continues to show us.
With this growth has come the increasing challenge of providing both full business hours and afterhours care. While we feel strongly about being there for our clients and their pets whenever they need us, we’ve reached a point where continuing to do both simply isn’t sustainable.
We are also a young family, and like many of you, we are navigating the balance between a fulfilling career and being present as we watch our girls grow. After careful thought, we have made the decision to become shareholders in the Christchurch Afterhours Clinic. This allows us to remain actively involved in your pets’ emergency care, while ensuring they receive dedicated, high-quality afterhours support from a well-resourced team.
We would love to be able to do it all — but to continue providing the best possible care during business hours, we need to ensure our team (and our family) can thrive too.
By partnering in this way, we can maintain continuity of care, support our colleagues, and ensure your pets are looked after day and night — while creating a sustainable future for our practice.
Thank you for your understanding, your loyalty, and for allowing us to care for the animals you love.
