Strand Animal HospitalEst. in the Helderberg Basin
Strand Animal Hospital has looked after dogs, cats and other fur-babies across the Helderberg basin for a quarter of a century — consultations, vaccinations, dental care, surgery and honest, unhurried advice from a team that treats every patient like their own.
For 25 years Strand Animal Hospital has been the practice families in Strand, Gordon's Bay, Somerset West and the wider Helderberg basin turn to — not just for check-ups, but for the awkward 2am phone calls and the quiet reassurance that someone who knows your pet is on the other end of the line.
From routine wellness visits to surgery and emergency care, our team handles it with the same calm, thorough approach — for dogs, cats and other much-loved fur-babies.
Routine check-ups, vaccination schedules and preventive care to keep pets healthy year-round.
On-site diagnostic imaging and testing to get clear answers quickly, without unnecessary referrals.
Dental evaluations, cleaning and treatment — because oral health affects far more than just teeth.
From routine sterilisations to more involved procedures, carried out with full pre- and post-op care.
Call our main number any time — after hours you'll be directed to the vet on duty from our local on-call network.
Ongoing management and follow-up for chronic conditions, with clear guidance at every visit.
Guidance tailored to your pet's life stage and temperament, to help resolve behavioural concerns.
Care that extends beyond cats and dogs to other small companions — just give us a call to check.
Not sure what your pet needs? Call 021 854 7037 and we'll talk you through it.

Caring for animals doesn't stop at the consulting room door.
When a hospitalised patient named Charlie was struggling to eat from a regular bowl, our nursing team noticed — and found a way to make him more comfortable. It's the kind of small, thoughtful care that happens here every day.
