How the time flies! And the years have been full of life in its full range of laughter and tears. That is what happens when we work with pets and their families. 

 The old vet clinic at 46 Halifax St NelsonWhen we sat down with architect Ellen Brinkman to design the new Halifax Veterinary Centre we focussed on just a few key ideas.  

  • We wanted to retain the warm friendly feel of the old Halifax clinic 
  • We wanted sunlight in all our key work areas so we knew we were in Nelson 
  • We wanted a sense of openness so that clients could see through to our work areas as well as visit with their pets 
  • We wanted to continue to sit with clients during our consultations so that they and their pets would be more relaxed. This is still a rarity in New Zealand. 

It seems to have been a great success. Hundreds of clients have commented over the years how much more relaxed their pets have been than at any other clinic they have been to.
