Get To Know Kym
I’m Dr Kym Shrimpton, I graduated from Massey University in 1998 and have worked in small animal practice in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Australia in both general and referral hospitals. I’m a passionate animal advocate and care about the wellbeing of the whole animal. I understand the special bonds we have with our pets and love being part of the journey to helping your pet feel their best through any challenges they are faced with.
“Our cat Sadie has just made it to 17 and the treatments she’s had with Kym have helped us successfully manage her long-term constipation, arthritis and other age-related conditions for the last few years. It’s amazing to see how quickly a session brings Sadie relief. Thanks Kym, for giving our old lady quality of life, for your knowledge and for always being so kind.”
Lena Erakovich
“Kym brought my 10 year old bull terrier from barely being able to walk to bounding around playing with her toys and being completely nuts again, she has numerous issues with 3 of her legs and severe arthritis and was extremely anxious and very difficult to treat but Kym’s perseverance, patience and dedication to treating her enabled spook to receive kyms expertise treatments with great success, I cannot thank Kym enough for her incredible work and for ultimately giving me more precious time with my beautiful bully.“
Rachel Davey and Spooky
“Kym has changed Nelson’s world! Acupuncture and hydrotherapy plus reviewing his diet, exercise and pain meds for his chronic arthritis has allowed him to be pain free, so
much happier, more active and back to his old self and naughty behaviour! Wish I had come and seen Kym years earlier! 5/5.”

Holistic Consultations
No matter where you are, we can meet in the Auckland Clinic or online, to discuss the holistic wellbeing of your pet. If you’re unsure where to start, having a hard time deciphering conflicting advice during a stressful time, or just need to find a path forward for your pet, this is a great place to begin.
Dogs have a way of finding people who need them and filling an emptiness we didn’t know we had.

Probiotics: Nature’s little helper
Sometimes when I’m out gardening I feel like I am on an archeological dig site. I’ll be turning over the soil and suddenly an old rotting beef bone will appear from the ground that Jack, my dog, had buried weeks before and to which he had plans to dig back up and gnaw again. Just what is it about chewing buried bones that is so appetising to a dog?
