I started my journey in the veterinary world in 1999. My passion for animals has led me to work in welfare practices, private practices, with exotics and in very mixed practices in rural areas. At home I have two dogs and a cat, and I enjoy both playing and coaching soccer. I live in Cape Town with my wife and two daughters, one of whom is in nursing college, and one is in high school. I hope to continue working in the animal world for many years.

My name is Khaya. I'm a quiet individual who loves animals. I'm a creative type who enjoys cooking new meals and experimenting with different flavours. I've just discovered a new passion: longboarding. I love rapping and I'm a huge hip-hop fan. I own 3 crossbreed dogs (2 of which I adopted) and one cat.

I started working at Durbanville Animal Hospital in 2016 after years of working in pet shops. I have 2 beautiful dogs, Nompriechie and Sheba, and am adored by the cats in my neighbourhood.

I’m the Practice Manager for Durbanville Animal Hospital. I have been part of the growth of this busy practice since 1994 and have watched the staff grow and develop over the years. I’m a Sagittarius/Capricorn by birth, which means I am organised, wise and dedicated to my career, but have itchy feet and like to travel. At home I like to garden and read and take my elderly pooch, Molly, for afternoon walks. I also enjoy swimming, either in the sea in Mauritius or in my local pool doing aqua-aerobics. Presently I am attempting to learn French, which is proving to be difficult. I hope to continue organising the staff at DAH for many years to come.

I am the newest addition to the Durbanville Animal Hospital family. Being a fiancé, mother of 4 children and 4 fur babies, I love to keep my environment positive and full of joy. I am a hiker by heart and I love to travel. I would never change my position for I have a passion for animals.

Grandmother to 4 gorgeous grandchildren - 2 in Chicago and 2 in London! I am an avid sports fan and also enjoy baking, cooking and crossword puzzles. I started at Durbanville Animal Hospital in 2008 and enjoy assisting our wonderful clients & their precious pets. I also have a passion for horses.

After 7 years at the Animal Welfare Society, I was blessed to join the Durbanville Animal Hospital Team in 2006. I share my life with my partner Marius and 2 Pugs, Archie and Alice. They teach me daily about unconditional love, patience, dog hair is a fashion and it is okay to be obsessed with treats.

After working in finance for many years, I decided to pursue a career as a Veterinary Nurse. I have always had a passion for animals and started rescuing and fostering cats at a young age. I am currently owned by three rescue cats!

My name is Jess. I'm a veterinary nurse originally hailing from the Eastern Cape. I studied a B.Sc. and a post-graduate certificate in education before pursuing my veterinary career. I am the mum to the most adorable Staffie named Abby. In my free time, I enjoy being in nature, gardening and reading.

I have a sweet but mischievous feline companion, named Bella. In my spare time, I love to spend time with family and friends and enjoy baking and painting. I have a keen interest in feline medicine and ultrasonography. I am currently enrolled in a General Practitioner certificate program to expand my knowledge in veterinary medicine.
