Canterbury Vets Ltd
Canterbury Vets is a locally owned and operated practice, providing large and companion animal veterinary services and products since 1993. Our clinic is located at 363 West Street, Ashburton
At Canterbury Vets, we offer a comprehensive range of veterinary services designed specifically for deer farming operations. From reproductive management and velveting support to disease prevention, parasite control, and emergency care, our team understands the unique needs of both red deer and wapiti herds.
We know the importance of robust hind performance, healthy fawns, and well‑grown velvet and venison animals for a profitable deer system. Whether you're managing breeding hinds, stags, yearlings, or finishing stock, we treat your animals with the same dedication, respect, and care that you do.
Our experienced senior veterinarian, Dr Jonathan Christian, is also a long‑time deer farmer. With many years in the deer industry, he brings both practical and clinical expertise to every visit. Jonathan is passionate about deer and all things deer, and his extensive knowledge means he can assist with any queries or health‑related challenges you may face on your farm.
And because the challenges of deer farming don’t keep to a schedule, we’re available 24 hours a day, seven days a week — delivering experienced, reliable support whenever you need it.
