About Paulshof Veterinary Clinic
Established 2003.
Our Mission & Vision
Grant Craig & Phillippa Wagner
We built the Paulshof Veterinary Clinic in 2003 with a view to providing a high standard of care to pets in Paulshof and the surrounding areas.
Our focus is on providing a friendly, homely environment for our patients. Our main aim is to make veterinary visits as stress-free as possible.
We continually strive to improve our skills, levels of knowledge and service offering. To this end we attend regular continuing educations events.
Due to the growing demand for our services we renovated the clinic in 2013. We are now able to offer separate dog and cat hospitalisation areas to reduce stress for our hospitalised patients. Our consulting rooms and hospital wards are air-conditioned for the comfort of patients and clients.
We have back-up power and water solutions so we can provide uninterrupted services. We also use cloud-based software for all our records.
We believe strongly in giving back to the community and as a result we offer services at a vastly reduced rates to welfare organisations such as Four Paws as well as numerous people working with feral cat colonies in our area.
