Lilli is one of our amazing vet liaisons.
Recently, she ventured on an eighteen-day experience of a lifetime to South Africa. Her team travelled all over, visiting around five provinces and were lucky enough to be involved in many different areas of veterinary work.
Klerksdorp is the rhino conservation park where Lilli had the privilege of camping under the stars. Here she was lucky enough to feed the rhinos in the orphanage, as well as translocate three rhinos and a calf. Then she went to Durban for an evening of culture with all the delegates. Food and drink were brought from countries all over the world including: the USA, Canada, Austria, Cyprus, Taiwan, just to name a few. Her team then headed out to the east coast of Africa and had an incredible experience shark cage diving with black tip reef sharks. Then they had the opportunity to go to uShaka Marine World where they went behind the scenes, learning how to safeguard ocean habitats.
From game driving through Isimangaliso’s wetlands to partaking in a sunset cruise through the St Lucia river where many hippos where spotted. The team then headed to the Hoedspruit endangered species centre and learnt about their efforts to protect endangered wildlife. Kruger national park was their next stop where they were greeted with giraffes and elephants. The next morning gestured an incredible experience of immobilisation of a wild elephant in the Kruger national park. The vets showcased basic data collection and allowed hands on vet work with such an amazing creature. They were also very lucky to attend lectures underscoring the critical role of communities in conservation; the importance of sustaining the natural wildlife.
She had one last game drive through Kroger national park where she saw a gorgeous pride of lions and a leopard in the distance. Ticking of the big 5 !
Overall, her experience was nothing short of extraordinary and it was such a privilege.

Did you know? 🧐 There is a specific diet for senior dogs and cats? 🐶🐱 It's called Mature Consult a Diet created by Royal Canin ❤ Mature Consult is specifically formulated to help support the health and wellbeing of senior dogs and cats. This formula contains a specific selection of nutrients that help to support vitality and maintenance of muscle mass throughout their senior years. Thanks to the kibble’s mechanical brushing effect and the inclusion of a calcium binder, Mature Consult helps to delay the formation and build-up of tartar, the diet also promotes a urinary environment unfavourable to the development of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals. To cater to each pet's individual preferences, Mature Consult is also available as wet food with a soft loaf texture. Please consult with your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your pet. Transitioning your pet from one diet to another should be a smooth and gradual process over a 7–10-day period, ensure you follow the correct rationing amount, especially when mix-feeding.
