CVC Clinics
Pretoria West CVC
More about the CVC
Pretoria West Animal Clinic and Community Veterinary Clinic (CVC) associated with the South African Veterinary Association-Community Veterinary Clinic (SAVA-CVC), was established by the principal veterinarian in April 2021. The purpose of this CVC is to provide basic and quality veterinary services and products to the communities in and around Pretoria West.
This community clinic focuses on vaccinations of pets against important diseases like rabies, parvovirus, and distemper virus, controlling and managing both internal and external parasites, and we also offer basic veterinary treatments.
The community clinic focuses on sterilizing pets to reduce unwanted pregnancies. Most importantly the clinic educates pet owners about the basic health and welfare of their pets. This work is done through collaboration with SAVA and other welfare organizations.
Pyramid CVC
More about the CVC
Pyramid CVC was founded in 2016 in order to assist local communities. Being a smallholding area there are many needy pet owners who live in welfare villages, as well as the Wallmanstal township which has recently emerged. Our clinic has been assisting these people as well numerous welfare organisations like Wollies, Paws Love and the SPCA for many years on an informal basis. Becoming a CVC has enabled us to do this more effectively with backup and resources. Currently we are concentrating our efforts on sterilization programmes for the various organisations and communities. We do suffer from a lack of human resource in the clinic which limits our time available to perform outreach, but it is hoped that this will improve in the future! We are animal lovers and will always do our best to prevent animals suffering.

Sedgefield CVC
More about the CVC
Knysna Veterinary Clinic is proud to have opened their second CVC clinic to offer services to our local Sedgefield communities, mainly the Smutsville area. We have partnered with Sedgefield Animal Matters, a non-profit in the area to provide care in the form of vaccinations, ecto- and endo- parasitic treatments and any basic veterinary healthcare needed.
Every Friday is spay day at the clinic, and together with a volunteer team which includes Dr Frank De Groot and Sr Jean De Groot we sterilise a number of cats and dogs. Being the only providers of this service in the area, the need is great and hard work is given to try and control the population, educate owners and look after unwanted or uncared for animals. Thankfully we encounter many loving owners who try and provide the best for their pets.
