TAH - Tygerberg Animal Hospital

Our primary goal is the improvement of animal health and this takes many forms. In our consultation rooms we provide primary health care, ranging from vaccinations to deworming and flea treatment, in order to maintain the health of your pets as well as to prevent diseases.

Sick animals are checked in consultations where the client's concerns as well as the history of the pet are discussed. Upon examining the animal, decisions are made as to whether any further diagnostic tests are needed and what treatment options are available. Some patients with less severe ailments are treated at home or on an outpatient basis. The more serious or complicated cases may be admitted for in-hospital treatment, further tests or surgery.

Many different surgeries are done on a daily basis at all our branches, but the most routine include sterilisations (spaying or castrations), stitching up wounds and the removal of growths or tumours. These are done under very sterile conditions in special theatres to prevent infections. For more specialised procedures you may be referred to one of the bigger branches.

In-hospital patients are regularly monitored and appropriate treatment is given. Further testing may be necessary for accurate diagnosis, and many of these, including X-rays, ultrasounds, blood and other laboratory tests, can be done at the bigger branches.
