‼️URGENT PLEA TO OUR CLIENTS‼️

Olive and Eva are looking for a home. They belong to longtime clients of ours, who due to health reasons, have to move and cannot take them with. We are devastated and urgently looking for a safe and loving home for these two. They need to stay together.

Olive and Eva are 7 and 10 years old. They are spayed, vaccinated and healthy.

If you have space in your home (and heart) for these two lovely dachshunds, please call reception and leave your details with us. We hope to put you touch with their Dad.

We’d like to share some awesome news with our Ballito Vet Community!

I’m sure many of our clients will recognize this friendly face. Nomcebo Bhengu has been working at Ballito Vet for the past 4 years, becoming an essential and integral part of the team. Nomsi already runs our lab, maintains most of our specialized equipment and plays a big role in patient care. While working full time as an assistant at Ballito Vet, Noms has been studying towards a diploma in Animal Health.

After 3 years of hard study and work, Noms graduated yesterday. She is now a registered Animal Health Technician!

We’d just like to congratulate her on this fantastic achievement. We are so proud! We admire her dedication towards her studies, which mirrors the dedication and passion she shows at work each day.

We are incredibly lucky to have this young lady on the team!

Noms, we wish you all the best with your career ahead!

Rabies awareness: We have had another positive rabies case in a dog in Shakaskraal. This dog has been previously vaccinated, however, hadn’t received a vaccine in the last few years.

It is recommended that dogs and cats be vaccinated annually against rabies. Especially in KZN where it is so rife. It is MANDATORY by law to vaccinate your pet against rabies. Be sure to receive your vaccine from a qualified veterinary professional who have the skills and knowledge to make sure the vaccine is kept hand given properly.

We’d like to thank our state veterinary services for being so vigilant and going to great lengths to make sure this case was diagnosed quickly.

As KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) is a high risk area for the disease, annual vaccinations are recommended.

Over the last week we hosted 4 students in their Grade 11 year at our clinic. This is part of their Life Orientation Job-Shadowing Project.

This week they were exposed to all manner of clinical veterinary practice. They saw some exciting medical and surgical cases. Enjoyed discussions in the lab, and appreciated all the amazing equipment and facilities we have to help us.

Beyond that, they were also exposed to some of the more difficult aspects and frustrations of the profession. With the joy of healing animals, also comes a lot of heart break. As vets and vet nurses, we care deeply for our patients and clients. We get frustrated when we can’t solve a problem. We are heart sore when our patients don’t get better, and our clients worry. Many days are long and tough… This really has to be a passion!

We’d like to thank Trent, visiting from for the delicious cake he sent today. Nothing makes our day like a sweet treat! 🧁😻

It was a pleasure to have you Trent, Amy, Gabriel and Kiera! We wish you all the best for your exciting futures 🐶🐾
