OUR STORY & ETHOS

Built on Trust, Experience & Personal Care

Palm Gardens Veterinary Clinic was established to give pet owners across Witkoppen, Fourways, and northern Johannesburg an authentic, relationship-driven alternative to large corporate practices.

We believe the best veterinary medicine occurs when doctors personally know their patients. Rather than rotating through different locums, your companion is cared for by experienced senior veterinarians who remember their history, temperament, and family background.

We maintain a first-come, first-served walk-in system during consulting hours so you never have to navigate complicated booking calendars when your companion needs attention today.

🐾 Owner-Operated Led personally every day by founding veterinary partners
🩺 Walk-In Access No appointment needed for routine consulting sessions
🌿 Holistic Integration Western clinical medicine combined with gentle acupuncture
