Durbanville Animal Hospital

Since Dr Mendelsohn first opened our doors back in 1986, we have stuck to the same core value - bringing the best personalised care to our patients. We aim to listen: first to you, the owner - who is vital in supplying a history, then to your pet - who can tell us things you may not be able to. Our passion for our patients will help us to verbalise their feelings and our vets and nurses will take the time to explain everything to you. Our skills and knowledge are continuously updated by attending courses and lectures in professional development, so that we can stay abreast with the latest scientific developments - always keeping in mind how we can serve our patients best. We are proud to be part of the Durbanville community, serving our friends and neighbours, whether they have two legs or four.
