Walmer Veterinary Hospital

The aim of this page is to give you some insight into the philosophy and principles at Walmer Vet Please be assured of our best service at all times.

To get the most out of veterinary science one cannot only look at the clinical facts obtained from examining the animal alone. The synergism created when the owner, the vet and the animal all becomes part of the problem solving process has huge advantages. We therefore believe that it is imperative that we have an individual relationship with each of our clients and their pets/animals. It makes a

holistic approach to problem solving much easier and more attainable. We therefore encourage our clients to see the vet(s) of their choice during consultations, especially where follow-up consultations are needed. This, however, is only possible at a practice where staff turnover is low, and where the practice strikes a balance between having enough vets to cope with the work load, and having too many so that this individual approach is no longer possible. The same scenario is true for the rest of our staff – we want our clients to feel part of our practice, and feel at home with people that they know and trust. It will come as no surprise that the four vets at Walmer Vet have been there for an accumulative total of more than a hundred years, with most of the reception staff and hospital staff unchanged for the past fifteen years. It is a humbling realization that some of our clients have been with the practice longer than ourselves (Walmer Vet was established in 1964), and we find it especially rewarding that the boys and girls of yesterday often become clients of tomorrow. We hope and trust that we will meet your expectations at Walmer Vet. Veterinarians :

Dr Stephan Ferreira qualified in 1983 and joined Walmer Vet in 1993. He enjoys all aspects of practice, especially the interaction with clients.

Did you know ...
Socializing your dog is not just about playing with other dogs, but also exposing them to various people, places, sounds, and situations in a positive and controlled manner ... ?
This helps them to be confident, balanced and well-adjusted.
The biggest benefit of correct socialization is building comfort and reducing fear or aggression in different environments and interactions.
Socialization is not a once-off event, but rather an ongoing process that helps dogs adapt to the world around them.

Ren is a beautiful and sweet boy He absolutely loves his walks.
Even though he is older, Jedi is a busy boy and will need a secure property. He unfortunately has an old injury to his right eye.

This is a very important message from Bayworld PE :

"Marine Mammal Monday!
🦭🐬 Found a seal or dolphin on the beach? Here’s what to do! 🐬🦭
Whether it’s a sleepy seal or a stranded dolphin, your response matters and doing the right thing can save a life 💙
🌊 1. Keep your distance
Wild marine mammals need space to rest or recover. Please don’t approach, touch, or feed them, even if they seem “friendly” or in trouble.
🐾 2. Keep dogs leashed and away
Even curious or well-meaning dogs can cause stress or injury. Please move pets away and keep them on a lead.
📸 3. Take note of details
Location, condition, photos (from a distance), any injuries or entanglements, this helps us respond faster and more effectively.
📞 4. Contact the experts
Call the Bayworld Stranding Hotline:
📱 071 724 2122
We are trained, vaccinated, equipped and permitted to handle marine mammals ashore. Whether it’s a routine rest or a rescue situation — we’re here to help 🧤🧯
🫶 5. Spread the word!
Not every animal on the beach needs rescuing but everyone deserves respect, protection, and an experienced eye to assess them.
⚠️ Marine mammals are vulnerable to disturbance and are legally protected under South African law. Approaching or harassing them is not only harmful — it’s also illegal.
Together, we can protect the ocean’s wild visitors, one seal (or dolphin!) at a time"

"Sweden has officially become the first country in the world to go 100% cage-free for egg-laying hens, freeing 17 million birds from a life behind bars. No more cramped wire cages. No more standing on metal floors. Just fresh air, open space, and the right to be a chicken."

Did you know ...
As with horses, it is crucial to regularly check and care for your donkey's teeth ... ?
Donkeys have teeth that continue to grow throughout their lives. They are susceptible to dental problems that can cause pain and have an impact on their ability to eat.
Regular dental check-ups are a must!
In the video, we have Dr Donovan Lamerton attending to Ansie Strydom Herman's donkeys' teeth
