💙🐾 HAPPY BOSS’S DAY, DR BRETT DU PREEZ! 🐾💙

Today, we celebrate and honour the incredible leader behind VetHealth Animal Clinic, Dr Brett du Preez! 🎉

As we reflect on the year that has passed, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your dedication, leadership, passion, and unwavering commitment to our team, our patients, and the families who entrust us with the care of their beloved pets. ❤️🐶🐱

Being a leader is about so much more than simply guiding a team. It is about inspiring others, leading by example, making difficult decisions, offering support when it is needed most, and having the courage and determination to keep moving forward, even on the toughest days. And these are just some of the qualities you bring to VetHealth Animal Clinic every single day.

Your passion for veterinary care and the well-being of animals is truly inspiring. The compassion you show, the standards you uphold, and the dedication you bring to your work remind us of why we do what we do. Behind every patient we care for, every challenge we overcome, and every little victory we celebrate, there is a team working together towards a shared purpose — and your leadership plays such an important role in making that possible. 🩺🐾

Thank you for the countless hours, the hard work, the sacrifices, the guidance, and the commitment that often go unseen but never go unappreciated. Thank you for believing in the vision of VetHealth, for encouraging us to grow, for challenging us to be better, and for reminding us that what we do is not just a job, but a calling that makes a real difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them.

We know that leading a veterinary team comes with its own unique challenges, from emotional moments and difficult cases to long days and unexpected emergencies. Through it all, your dedication and passion continue to help shape the clinic and the team we are proud to be part of.

Most importantly, thank you for being more than just our boss. Thank you for being a leader who helps set the tone, create a vision, and bring people together for a purpose that is bigger than any one of us. We hope you know how much your efforts, your presence, and your contribution mean to the VetHealth family. 💙

On this special Boss’s Day, we celebrate YOU — your achievements, your heart, your determination, and the person you are. May the year ahead bring you continued success, happiness, good health, renewed inspiration, and many more reasons to be proud of the incredible work you do.

May you always feel the same passion, purpose, and fulfilment in your work that you inspire in those around you. And may the love and gratitude of your team remind you that all your hard work truly makes a difference.

From all of us at VetHealth Animal Clinic, thank you for leading with purpose, caring with compassion, and inspiring us through your example. We are grateful to have you at the helm and proud to be part of the team you lead.

Wishing you a wonderful and well-deserved HAPPY BOSS’S DAY, DR BRETT DU PREEZ! 🥳💙🐾

Here’s to you, to your leadership, to our amazing VetHealth family, and to another year of making a difference — one paw, one patient, and one life at a time! 🐾❤️

With appreciation and gratitude,
Your VetHealth Animal Clinic Family 💙🐾

SOME HEROES WALKED ON FOUR LEGS.

There are moments in history that reveal both the very worst and the very best of humanity.

11 September 2001 was one of those days. I was 15 years old.

Amid unimaginable destruction, fear and loss, there were also extraordinary acts of courage, sacrifice and service.

And some of those acts were performed on four legs.

Guide dogs such as Roselle entered that morning simply doing the work for which they had been trained: to be the eyes of another human being.

Then the world around them changed.

Smoke. Noise. Crowded stairwells. Frightened people. Emergency personnel moving in the opposite direction, climbing towards danger while thousands desperately tried to escape it.

Yet the work continued.

Roselle remained composed and, together with her handler Michael Hingson, began the long descent from the 78th floor of the North Tower.

Seventy-eight floors. 1463 steps… In total chaos.

Through conditions no training exercise could ever truly reproduce.

She did what generations of working animals have done alongside us throughout history:

She served.

Not for recognition.

Not for a medal.

Not because she understood the historical significance of what was happening around her.

She had a purpose. She had been trained for it. And beside her was the person who trusted her. With his entire being.

That relationship between human and animal — built upon trust, discipline and extraordinary unconditional love and loyalty — has always affected me deeply.

In the hours and days that followed the attacks, hundreds of search-and-rescue, police, therapy and other working dogs joined the men and women searching through the devastation at Ground Zero.

Among the working dogs of the World Trade Center was Sirius, a yellow Labrador and K-9 officer of the Port Authority Police Department.

Sirius did not come home.

His remains were eventually recovered, and he was carried from Ground Zero with an honour guard befitting a fallen member of the police service.

These animals matter deeply to me.

Not only Roselle. Not only Sirius. And not only the animals of 9/11.

Throughout human history, animals have accompanied us into places we ourselves have struggled to endure.

War dogs.
Military horses.
Police dogs.
Search-and-rescue dogs.
Guide dogs.
Service animals.

They have carried us, protected us, searched for us, guided us and remained beside us through wars, disasters and some of the darkest chapters of human history.

They never chose the wars.

They never created the disasters.

They never asked for recognition afterwards.

Yet when we asked them to serve, they served.

As a veterinarian, I believe that deserves more than admiration.

It deserves remembrance.

It also deserves gratitude expressed through action.

The principles I see reflected in these animals — courage, perseverance, duty, loyalty and service — have affected me deeply enough that they have helped inspire the principles upon which I have written the Code of Conduct for Vethealth Animal Clinic.

And so this will not be a once-off post.

Over the months and years ahead, I would like this page to tell some of their stories.

We will remember animals that served during wars.

We will tell the stories of search-and-rescue animals.

We will honour guide and service dogs.

And, importantly, we would like to meet some of the extraordinary working animals who are serving people in our own community today.

Our commitment

From Vethealth Animal Clinic, and from me, Dr Brett du Preez personally:

Guide dogs and recognised service dogs are welcome at our clinic for a veterinary consultation and routine vaccination at no charge.

It is a small gesture compared with what these animals give throughout their working lives.

But it is our way of saying:

We see you.
We respect what you do.
And we remember those who served before you.

To Roselle, Sirius, and the hundreds of working dogs who entered the devastation of Ground Zero.

To the animals who served before them.

And to those quietly serving beside someone today.

Thank you.

Those who spend their lives looking after us deserve someone looking after them.

🐾💙 ANNUAL CHECK-UPS: A SMALL VISIT THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE! 🐶🐱

Our pets can’t tell us when something doesn’t feel right. That’s why regular veterinary check-ups are one of the best ways we can protect their health, happiness, and quality of life. 🩺❤️

Even when your pet looks perfectly healthy, important changes can sometimes go unnoticed. During an annual wellness examination, our veterinary team can look for early warning signs and help keep your pet on the right track.

🔎 Why are annual check-ups so important?

✅ Early detection — Identifying potential health problems early can lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.

💉 Vaccinations & parasite prevention — We can review your pet’s protection against preventable diseases, fleas, ticks, worms, and other parasites.

⚖️ Weight & nutrition — Maintaining a healthy weight is essential for your pet’s joints, heart, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.

🦷 Dental health — Dental disease is common in pets and can affect much more than their teeth and gums.

🩺 A complete health assessment — We’ll assess areas such as your pet’s heart, lungs, skin, ears, eyes, abdomen, mobility, and general condition.

🐾 Age-appropriate care — Puppies, kittens, adults, seniors, and pets with ongoing needs all have different wellness requirements.

💚 Peace of mind — Regular check-ups give you the opportunity to ask questions about behaviour, diet, exercise, lifestyle, and anything else you’ve noticed at home.

Remember: prevention is better than waiting for a problem to become serious. Your pet may only need one wellness visit a year, but that visit can help add more healthy, happy moments to the years you share together. 🥰🐾

📅 Is your pet due for their annual check-up? Contact our veterinary clinic today to schedule their wellness visit.

Because every wag, purr, cuddle, and playful moment matters. 🐶🐱💙
