Guess HOO we spotted in the palm tree this afternoon!!!

Even though our feathered friends have pristine lodgings in the form of an owl box, thanks to EcoSolutions Urban Ecology, in one of the neighbouring trees, this lot seem to prefer something, a little more rustic and natural 😂😂😂😂 either way, we're all delighted that they're still around. Now we're not sure if this is mom and dad, or a parent and a baby, but we'll be keeping our eyes peeled on the floor for any fledglings that may have been given the proverbial booting out the nest 😊😊

2 very happy little boys 😁😁😁🎉🎉🎉
The very proud winners of the LEGO Welfare Raffle. Seeing such delight on these 2 little faces, always makes the Welfare Raffle even more rewarding.

Every cent raised goes into our Welfare Account so that we can assist where we can with the welfare organisations we support.

Thank you again to everyone who bought tickets, so not only will we be able to help the animals in need, but have also brought such joy to these 2 little guys.

Happy LEGO building!!!

And we have a WINNER!!! Lucky number 283!!!

Our LEGO Welfare Raffle has been drawn. We did delay it slightly due to the popularity and every single cent raised goes towards us being able to assist the welfare organisations we support. So it is so appreciated how many people bought tickets for this raffle. Thank you all so so much.

Little Domino's lucky number was drawn, but seeing as Domino is an Australian Cattle Dog, he bought the tickets on behalf of his family, and he also doesn't have opposable thumbs to work a phone, so we gave his pet parents a call and lucky for them, they answered!!!!

So Domino and his family will be coming to the clinic to collect their LEGO prize.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual Rabies Drive-Through on Sunday!

Thanks to the incredible teamwork of our staff, volunteers, and community, 490 rabies vaccines were administered, along with a number of other annual vaccinations to help keep pets healthy and protected.

A special thank you to Dr Nic and Natasha from Watercrest Veterinary Clinic, and to Dr Emma, Dr Gabby, Dr Tayla, Dr Carra, Aleck, and Dr Carra's son, Charlie from Hillcrest Veterinary Hospital, as well as Daniel Stewart, who all rolled up their sleeves to make the day such a success.

From directing traffic to providing treats and distractions, every helping hand played a part in creating a smooth, stress-free experience for pets and their owners.

Thank you to everyone who brought their pets along and helped us protect our community against rabies. Together, we're making a difference - one vaccination at a time. 🐶🐱

It is collaborations like this that make our profession so unique as we all make a stand to protect not only our pets, but our communities as well, from the very scary and harsh reality that is Rabies. Only by standing together will we slowly but surely make a difference against Rabies.

Rabies is still a very real issue and significant threat in our area. Sadly, not enough is being done by the State to assist with FREE Rabies vaccinations, and the State is also heavily focused on the current Foot and Mouth disaster, so Watercrest Veterinary Clinic, Hillcrest Veterinary Hospital and KZN Animal Training are teaming up and collaborating this Sunday, 5 July 2026 from 10am to 1pm for a FREE Rabies vaccination Drive.

Please bring your pet's vaccination book if you have it so we can update their records. If you don't have one, or you're attending only for the free rabies vaccination, you'll receive an official vaccination certificate. This is for both dogs and cats. Please ensure cats are in a secure carrier so that they can be taken indoors for their vaccinations. Dogs will be done in your car.

This is one of the simplest ways we can all help protect our pets, our families and our community.

Please share this post so we can reach as many pet owners as possible. Every vaccination makes a difference.
