The prestigious Animal Talk “Top Dog” Veterinary Excellence Award for 2017 was awarded to a Hartbeespoort veterinarian, Dr Le-anne Kleynhans, owner of the Broederstroom Veterinary Clinic.

Dr Le-anne received the award for various reasons which included veterinary excellence, her love and compassion for animals and the large amount of community and welfare projects she is involved in.
As the owner of both the Broederstroom Veterinary Clinic in Hartbeespoort Dam and the Bromhof Veterinary Clinic in Randburg, she works incredibly hard and dedicates personal resources and time to community projects such as working with Animal Allies to treat and sterilise dogs and cats in Katlehong and Zandspruit. Together they have sterilised over 600 animals in the last two years, all at no charge to the public. She also does work for Boston Terrier Rescue and Border Collie Rescue. Once a year, she takes a team to a remote area of Lesotho for an outreach project to treat animals and do veterinary work as well as support a local orphanage there. She is also involved in the management of a team in the process of establishing a village in Lanseria for orphaned and vulnerable children.
Dr Le-anne and the Broederstroom Veterinary Clinic team have also recently started a partnership with the Vulture Rescue centre, VulPro and do surgical repairs on wing and leg fractures, giving the vultures a chance to be released into the wild again

We have been reviewing our client/patient records and have found that many of these pets have not been neutered (spayed or castrated). As there are so many benefits to neutering your furry companion, we have decided to offer a 20% discount on all dog and cat spays and castrations. This offer will be available by appointment, until end August 2015. Please phone soon to avoid disappointment, as only a limited number of operations can be performed per day.

Benefits of neutering your pet:

” This surgery is a routinely performed one, and very safe.
” Spay/neuter is the only permanent, 100-percent effective method of birth control for dogs and cats.
” Prevent adding to the thousands of homeless animals by producing unwanted puppies and kittens.
” You will do so much more for the health of your pet by spaying before the first heat. It has been reported that by doing so, you will reduce the chance of mammary (breast) cancer in your pet by as much as 97% over their lifetime. The chance of other reproductive cancers (uterine, ovarian, mammary) and uterine infection is eliminated in spayed animals. Even after the first heat, spaying will reduce the risks of certain cancers and eliminate reproductive organ disease.
” Dogs and tomcats are much more inclined to stay home and happy when neutered. Non-neutered males are often more aggressive and territorial (urine marking, fighting). Dogs have a natural instinct to protect their home and loved ones. They will not loose these traits of loyalty and protection once neutered.
” Your pet will not pick up weight just because he/she has been neutered. Proper nutrition and exercise are what will keep your pet at a healthy weight and level of fitness.

Please get in touch with the team at Croft Animal Hospital to learn more about our services as well as our pricing structures. We are available after hours too.

Durbanville Animal Hospital was founded in 1986 by Dr Ivan Mendelsohn with Michael Mpushe as his assistant. What started off as a small personal practice in Valmary Park steadily grew into a 2 hospital, 5 veterinarian practice. Dr Mendelsohn retired in 2016, after 30 years of dedication to the practice. Nowadays, our Durbanville hospital has 3 veterinarians, 2 nurses, 2 receptionists and 2 kennel assistants. Our highly motivated and caring team strive to deliver an outstanding level of veterinary care.

Greenside Animal Clinic Facilities

You will quickly notice the big landmark, our 2 famous dogs on the corner, as we are known for “The vet with the dogs on the corner”

The new facility was built through 2015 to 2016. We have 3 consulting rooms and 2 operating theaters. There are also separate dog- and cat waiting areas, to make your pet’s visit to the vet as peaceful as possible.

Our kennel facilities have been specifically designed and built for our patients that have to be hospitalised. These are permanent structures, that can’t be tampered with.We have seperate dog and cat wards to reduce the stress for each species to the bare minimum should there be a need for them to be hospitalised. Many of our patients are day visitors because of having to undergo general aneasthesia or procedures which requires close observation and care.

The dogs get taken out at least twice daily to walk/run and spend some time in the outdoors.

Our kennels are also temperature controlled and properly ventilated, so the animals aren’t hot in summer or cold in winter.

We have a separate isolation unit, where the very sick animals are kept to protect themselves and other animals against dangerous viruses,infections or other transmitted diseases. The isolation unit also has a separate ventilation system to protect against the transmission of infectious diseased between animals that have to be hospitalised.
