PET DOCTORS TRISTRAM ST
Our Tristram Street clinic was established in 1996 and has grown to become one of New Zealand's leading small animal practices.
Tristram Street is a fully equipped pet hospital with extensive medical and surgical services available. We can also offer the latest diagnostic techniques such as ultrasound, endoscopy and inhouse blood testing.We have the central North Islands only small animal orthopaedic veterinary specialist service (VetSOS) in clinic as well as visiting specialists.
Tristram street is home to our resident cockatiel named… Tristram (creative, we know). He provides us and the clients with a lot of entertainment on his good days and a lot of shouting and inappropriate behaviour on his bad days.
We have the best cattery that is attached to the clinic and is fantastically organised by Rochelle. It also helps provide the staff with some respite in stressful times when you need something fluffy to cuddle!
Situated in central Hamilton City (opposite FMG Stadium), we are open seven days a week to cater for any needs your pet may have.
