Otautau Vets Ltd (OVL) is a contract practice that has grown steadily since the company was formed in 2001, employing eight vets and eight support staff members but still managing to enjoy the relaxed, family-feel of a small, independent mixed practice. We provide a full range of veterinary services to Western Southland & surrounding districts. 

A large proportion of the work undertaken by our veterinarians is with production animals. This level of experience has made it possible for us to cultivate a team of Vets who have an expansive knowledge base. We recognise that each client is an individual with unique challenges and this enables us to work collaboratively with you to provide solutions for animal health needs as well as assisting them in growing and developing your business.

We also provide a comprehensive small animal service from our well-equipped modern clinic. We have one dedicated small animal vet available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings as well as a clinic daily between 4 and 5 pm. If your pet requires hospitalisation they will be cared for by our qualified vet nurses who pride themselves in providing the best possible care. Our nurses will provide you with detailed information on how to care for your pet upon discharge, but you are always welcome to call the clinic if you have any questions or concerns.

For more information please visit our website or call our friendly team now.

VetSouth was born out of the belief that being rural and far away shouldn't compromise the quality of veterinary services that we are able to provide.

As progressive owners of complex businesses, Farmers deserve the best advice and services available. This shouldnt be compromised by geography. And pet owners feel the same attachment to their pets as in big cities. Our services need to reflect this.

To make this a reality we have to recruit excellent people, from wherever they are. And so we have an eclectic mix of vets from across New Zealand and the world. They bring a superb and broad skill set to VetSouth. In addition, we believe in working with as many organisations as possible to maximise the breadth of services and offering that we can bring to our clients.

And we will continue to innovate- whether it be in developing tech services or novel cost effective dairy packages or broader companion animal services.

VetSouth brings you a quality of service and information that is recognised worldwide as being truly first class.
