Your Local Vets
Supporting Southland Farmers
At Vetco, we’re proud to serve the hardworking farming community of Eastern and Southern Southland – a region rich in dairy, sheep, and mixed livestock operations. While cows and sheep make up the bulk of our work, our experienced team also cares for deer, pigs, horses, goats, alpacas, and other farm animals.
We offer a comprehensive range of on-farm veterinary services – whether it’s treating a sick animal, developing tailored vaccination or parasite control plans, or troubleshooting issues like mastitis. Our goal is to support the long-term health and productivity of your animals, so you can keep your farming business thriving.
