TICKING OFF THE FLEA IN WINTER

We recommend year-round for your pet against these parasites and offer a wide variety of effective flea and tick control products.

CHECK YOUR ENGINE, ESPECIALLY IN THE COOL WINTER MONTHS

During the winter months, cats will try to find a spot where they might be able to keep warm, and often the perfect place is in your car’s engine or on top of your car’s wheels. This can be extremely dangerous for your cat if you, unaware of the cat, drive off, completely unaware of the 'stowaway'.

Thank you for the great review - that is such amazing news! It is much appreciated.

Our pets use their eyes to communicate with their owners. Cats look us in the eye because it is their way of showing affection and for dogs it is a sign of trust and love.

STERILISATION IS GOOD FOR YOUR PET!

Sterilising your pet can have many benefits, including the prevention of health issues, addressing behavioural problems, and reducing the risk of unwanted litters.

By spaying or neutering your pet, you are taking a responsible step to ensure the wellbeing of your pet and, of course, you are contributing to reducing the number of unwanted pets in our communities.

A SWEATY AFFAIR

Dogs sweat, but differently than humans, producing sweat only in certain parts of their bodies.

When sweat evaporates from the hairless paw pads of canines, a small amount of body heat is released.

Why do dogs sweat? Dogs sweat often while recovering from exercise, when sleeping when it's hot outside or when they're a little stressed or anxious.

Thank you for the great review, Andrew! We appreciate it a lot.

Shortcuts

Dating back to 1940...

Peninsula Veterinary Hospital was started by Dr Jim Brownlie in the late 1940’s. He was soon joined by Dr Dick Hyam, a class mate from Glasgow University. The partnership expanded to include Fish Hoek Veterinary Clinic run by Drs Clive Mc Donald and Tim Pritchett helping clients from all over the Peninsula.

In 1975 the practice moved from Plumstead to the cottage in Diep River, and then in 1979 they moved into the purpose built hospital. Drs Brownlie and Hyam retired in 1986, with Robert Campbell becoming a partner with Clive and Tim in 1987.

The Peninsula Vet and Fish Hoek Vet partnership split with Mark Barron and Rob Campbell staying at Diep River.

In 2003 the waiting room was extended to allow more retail space and in 2013 we extended into the old cottage to allow space for the isolation ward, grooming parlour and the rehab unit.
