Villiersdorp’s trusted animal clinic
We invite you to visit our clinic on Main Road, where we instinctively know that your pets are family, and where you and they become part of ours from the moment you are welcomed in. The clinic is affiliated with Hermanus Animal Hospital, the oldest veterinary practice in the Overberg.
From minor ailments to conditions requiring serious intervention, we're here to take care of your pet's wellbeing.
Our veterinary surgeons have earned a reputation for exceptionally high standards in surgical procedures.
Horses, cattle, sheep... And yes, we do offer house calls.
Your beloved animal will benefit from professional and modern healthcare as well as receiving an abundance of love, compassion and respect from all our dedicated staff.
The clinic has been open for over 40 years, initially on a farm and run by Dr Pietie le Roux and, since 2016, on a beautiful spacious property on Main Road.
The Villiersdorp/Vyeboom region is an incredibly supportive community, and we are proud to be a part of it. We work closely with welfare organisations, businesses and farms in the area that aid and support underprivileged people and their beloved animals.
Being a practice in a country town we pride ourselves on treating a wide range of species on a daily basis, including dogs, cats, horses, alpacas, farm animals, wildlife and a few exotics, and are able to offer an extensive range of services for your pet.

Humans rate us highly (Their animals too)
The Villiersdorp Animal Clinic has been our go-to veterinary surgery since its inception, particularly for our herd of alpacas but also for our dogs and cats. Donalyn has attended to our alpacas and we have been impressed with her care and, when needed, quick decisions. Alpacas have a reputation for being 100% healthy 99% of the time! The Villiersdorp Animal Clinic has often been responsible for reclaiming that one per cent! With a recent colic case in an alpaca – a first for us – and following an assessment, the correct action was taken and the alpaca recovered within a few hours. Christopher and I have been impressed with Donalyn’s intuition where alpaca health is concerned.

I cannot recommend Villiersdorp Animal Clinic highly enough. They have been instrumental in the care of our pets, providing exceptional service for everything from routine sterilizations and immunizations to more complex health issues. They’ve been a lifeline for our dog, Blu, helping us manage his allergies with care and expertise. When our beloved cat, Tigger, was diagnosed with FIP, the staff at Villiersdorp Animal Clinic did everything they could. Even when it became clear that nothing more could be done, they treated him with the utmost compassion, ensuring his passing was peaceful and dignified. The clinic made sure we were supported during that difficult time, which meant the world to us. The staff are friendly, incredibly helpful, and patient. They truly care about the animals they treat and the people who love them. If you’re looking for a veterinary service that combines professional expertise with genuine compassion, this is the place to go. [Shortened]
Living in Villiersdorp with a home full of furry family members we are very privileged to have an incredible team at the practice here and in Grabouw. Both facilities are excellent and offer first-class care and attention.
We have experienced most of the vet team, but mainly Dr Donalyn who has tended to many of our animals over the years and we know we are all in such good hands. Dr Donalyn is so gentle with animals and with us humans too. She is an informative, thorough and committed vet surgeon and an asset to our community. From taking care of emergencies to treating a much-loved chicken with a cold, Dr Donalyn does it all and always with compassion.
We are grateful to all the team, from right at the reception to the wonderful staff helping the vets behind the scenes, you all do amazing work for us and our special animals.
