Mainly dogs and cats, and the occasional rabbit. If you're not sure whether we can help, phone and ask.
When something isn't right, or just to be sure.
Puppy and kitten courses, yearly boosters, and rabies, which the law requires for every dog and cat.
Weighed, checked, vaccinated, and photographed with the chalkboard.
Spays and neuters for dogs and cats.
Lumps, stitches, abscesses and the cleaning up after.
Wellness checks for the grey-muzzled: joints, weight, teeth and comfort.
The right dose for their size, on a schedule you'll remember.
Checks at every visit, and cleaning under anaesthetic when it's needed.
A chip and a registration, so a lost pet finds its way home.
Everyday and prescription diets, at the counter.
New puppies and kittens are weighed, checked over and photographed with the chalkboard: se 1ste veeartsbesoek, their first vet visit. These are some of the latest.
Lynburn is a small practice. You'll see the same faces at every visit: Dr Chris, the nurses, and the front desk who know your dog's name before you've said it.
Jancke, a qualified veterinary nurse, joined the team in January 2023.

Fireworks in Tshwane need the City's permission. Complaints: 012 358 7095/6.
A dog that's suddenly flat, off its food, or has pale gums after a tick bite needs to be seen the same day. Phone us on the way.
Keep their tick treatment up to date from spring to autumn.
Slower on the stairs, drinking more, a lump you hadn't noticed: book a wellness check. A lot of what slows older pets down can be eased.
