Wanaka Vet Partnership
Making a difference in Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago
Volunteer with usWe are excited to offer SPCA services in Central Otago in conjunction with Vetlife. Vetlife Wanaka is our operations hub for this area with an excellent team that supports the health of animals requiring our help.
We opened our doors in June 2021 and look after sick, injured and vulnerable animals in the Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago region.
Vetlife Wanaka have allocated a separate space and resource in their clinic for SPCA animals. Their excellent facilities allow for adequate quarantine, and they can provide urgent vet care for sick or injured animals.
