The Blue Cross Veterinary Hospital
Our Vets qualified at the University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Onderstepoort and are members in good standing of the South African Veterinary Council (SAVC). We adhere to the high standards and ethics demanded by the SAVC.
As well as being an important member of the family, we know that each pet is an individual with his or her own personality.
Being pet owners ourselves, we want the best standards for our pets. We therefore provide that same standard for our patients.
Our vets, nurses and staff attend Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programs within the veterinary field.
