Greenside
Animal Hospital
"Sharing the Care"
About us
Greenside Vet Clinic (as it was previously known) was established in 1943 by the late Dr. Jack Boswell, making it one of the oldest private veterinary practices in South Africa. Dr. Ceril Claus came to work here in 1955 and practiced for 40 years until Dr. Viljoen purchased the practice in 1995. Dr. Viljoen transformed the practice into a fully fledged animal hospital and worked here until 2002 when his veterinary career was ended as a result of a motorcycle accident. Dr. Suzette Greubel joined the practice in 2002 and currently works here with Dr. Karin Lourens. We focus on the treatment and care of dogs, cats, birds and pocket pets.

I have been taking my dogs to The Greenside Animal Hospital since its inception. One is always made to feel welcome and the treatment of the patients is of an exceptionally high standard. The doctors are animal lovers with genuine sympathy and empathy for both the animal and the owner. They are highly skilled and extremely efficient veterinarians who inspire confidance and will go to extraordinary lengths to help a suffering animal.
