Cat had abcess from septic bite wound, vet quoted R5000-6000 to clean & dress wound and give antibiotic and anti-inflammatory injections. I opted for injections only (at R1350) and was advised to clean wound only with Dettol (diluted 1/10, pretty concentrated!) and when I suggested tea-tree oil vet said it might cause problems. Used tea-tree oil anyways. Took my cat to her usual vet this morning, cost under R2000 for everything. Usual vet was horrified by Dettol suggestion confirming it is toxic to cats!!! Tea-tree can be used safely. Had I followed Parklands Vet's advise I would have poisoned my cat! _Parkland's Vet is clearly incompetent and should be barred from practice.

Stay away from this Vet. I took my dog there after a late night car accident under the impression that it was a suitable 24 hour veterinary hospital. He told me it had a broken pelvis (he didn't want to do x-rays straight away) and that it would potentially cost me R60 000 for surgery, he put the dog on a drip and charged me R3000 basically for pain killers. He said the dog needed to stay overnight and that he would take x-rays later. After soon realising the next morning that things weren't right, I then took my dog to a different vet just down the road where x-rays revealed not a broken bone in its body. I was furious. I am busying complaining to the Veterinary Council as well about this Vet on Well Ave.

This man knows cats! Ended up being a sad experience but a professional consultation and good communication.

When my cat came home after being hit in the face by an oncoming car, and there was no one else to turn to, we rushed over to Parklands Veterinary Clinic. We were assist by the vet immediately. The vet could see how distraught I was and therefore personally phoned me every day, sometimes multiple times, to let me know how my kitty was holding up and when I could come to visit. They also performed a spectacular operation on him, to restore his beautiful face and save his eye. I will be forever grateful. And I could see my kitty really grew attached to the staff their too. They loved him like he was their own.

Find an alternative. N.B. Before the vet attacks me, like he has attacked everyone else who gave him negative reviews, my name is Sandra Caganoff.

**QUICK ADD TO MY REVIEW BELOW** There's a MUCH BETTER after-hours vet about 200 meters down the road from this one.

Horrible experience. Cold, uncaring vet with no regard for the feelings of you or your animal. I felt very nervous about leaving my dog with him. But he clearly knows that owners have little choice -- they're desperate for treatment and will do (and pay) whatever he asks. The dog was OK in the end (he had swallowed a bit of rat poison) and I'm thankful for that, but still feel very put off by how callous and unfriendly this vet and his assistant were.

Horrific experience, The Vet has only money on his mind and no concern for anything else. He is rude and cunning. Got brilliant care and service at a 24 hour vet not even 300 m from this poorly managed place. Not worth the one star. He took all of a min to “diagnose” my baby and immediately starts throwing Phenomenal costs at me without any tests to prove the condition. Than says to me that according to the patient detail form he notes that I work at company xxx. and he knows that this company pays big salaries! Not surprised to see so many reviews with the same theme about this horrific “vet” and his responses run the very same theme

It's rediculously dirty and gross. Was met by a man with holes in his shirt. They told me to be prepared to spend R1500.00, ended up paying closer to R8000.00. Vet wouldn't even touch my cat and said that they were "filthy animals". If it wasn't an emergency late at night, I would have ran out screaming.
