About Margate Veterinary Hospital
The Margate Veterinary Hospital opened its doors in 1980, and moved to the current premises in 1998, when additions and modifications to an existing house resulted in a brand-new, modern well-equipped pet care facility for the Margate community.
Under the management of Dr Leon Brüggemann, this clinic is efficiently run by a team consisting of veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurse, receptionists, kennel-orderly and cleaning staff.
Daily consultations on weekdays and Saturday mornings take care of sick pets, annual health checks and vaccinations. On most weekdays operations are done to repair injuries, sterilize or treat sick animals.
After hours animal care is supplied by a vet on standby and Sunday Morning consult hour for emergencies.
To offer a complete animal health care service we also have a Vetshop where we sell specialized pet food, tick & flea control and accessories like treats, toys, collars, harnesses and leads.
This practice has received numerous awards over the years, one being “finalist for the most cat-friendly South African vet practice”.
Services offered by Margate Veterinary Hospital
Our veterinary hospital offers the following clinical services:
Two consult sessions per day on Monday to Friday and one session on Saturday mornings during which time we see patients per appointment for all types of ailments or injuries as well as preventative treatment like annual check-ups and vaccinations.
After hours veterinary care is always available as one of our vets is always on standby to assist with urgent medical matters and emergencies.
We have a fully equipped X-ray room and ultrasound scanner to aid with diagnostics.
Our operating theatre is fully equipped to handle standard operations like sterilizations as well as most emergency trauma cases. Dr Brüggemann is experienced in doing the more complicated procedures like orthopaedic and spinal operations.
Our kennels are modern, safe, comfortable and easy to clean. Pets can relax under constant supervision and recover speedily to go home to their owners. Our special stainless steel cages are hygienic and suitable for either cats or birds.
We also offer a service to the community by treating free of charge any wildlife that may be brought to us sick or injured, e.g. wildlife caught in snares or hit by cars. Animals that can be cured are treated and sent to “Cragsview” where they can recuperate and are then released to have another chance at a free existence.
