Description
Southern Cross Veterinary Clinic Port Elizabeth is a companion animal vet in Port Elizabeth. Southern Cross Veterinary Clinic in Port Elizabeth offers the best veterinary medical and surgical care for your pet. Southern Cross Veterinary Clinic in Port Elizabeth became a reality on 7th September 1999 when the property at 8 Salisbury Avenue was purchased. The beautiful clinic with its residential appearance and gardens, safe car park, wheelchair friendly entrance, and its unique facilities is an asset that we are very proud of.
Our Mission at Southern Cross Veterinary Clinic is to offer and provide the best medical and surgical care for your pet. As pet owners ourselves, we respect the closeness of the human-animal bond and it is our purpose to enable pet owners to celebrate all aspects of this loving and caring relationship. Therefore, we strive to give the professional and compassionate care we want our pets to receive when they are sick or injured. We consider you and the Southern Cross Veterinary Clinic as partners in your pet’s health care. We believe that prevention and education are the cornerstones of the total medical care that we offer our clients.
PHYSICAL REHABILITATION
The goal of physical rehabilitation is to give your pet the best quality of life for the longest possible time. Physical rehabilitation speeds up recovery from injury, surgery, or other physical problems. Physical rehabilitation restores the best possible function whether your pet is an athlete living life in the fast lane or enjoys a more laid back lifestyle. In providing physical rehabilitation, we strive to ensure wellness and balance for pets. A well and balanced pet is a healthy and happy pet.
ACUPUNCTUREAcupuncture is the practise of inserting fine, solid needles into the body for pain relief or, in some cases, to help the body deal with other diseases. Acupuncture works through the nervous system. The needles block the pain messages and encourage the brain and central nervous system to produce more of the body’s natural painkillers. In conditions that are not painful, acupuncture may help to reset the body’s normal functioning.Pain is the most common indication for acupuncture. Usually this means pain associated with arthritis, but also muscle strains, pain secondary to disc disease and bony changes of the spine (spondylosis). Other kinds of pain may also respond. Functional conditions such as constipation and cystitis in cats and irritable bowel type problems, colic and acral lick dermatitis (lick granuloma) in dogs may respond.WEIGHT CLINIC

FREE SENIOR HEALTH CLINIC
Ageing is a process of changes to the body. Middle-aged pets start undergoing ageing processes which become obvious when your pet is seen as a senior (7 years old, depending on size and breed).Ageing can be managed by understanding the changes occurring and acting on them before too much damage is done. Senior health checks (at least once a year) can lead to early detection of any age related problem.Contact us to make an appointment at our Senior Clinic. A consultation fee may be levied for problems unrelated to age.
