Message from our vets

The veterinarians at our Cape Town hospital encourage members of the public to research a particular breed of animal before making this addition to your family.

At the PDSA, our veterinarians treat the complete range of cases; however we have noticed an increasing trend in dogs being stabbed, poisoned and shot during the latter months of 2008.
