EnviroVet CVC is a satellite community veterinary clinic that falls under the umbrella of the South African Veterinary Association Community Veterinary Clinics (SAVA). The SAVA initiative was launched in 1998 to promote primary healthcare in indigent communities in South Africa that are unable to access the services offered by private veterinary practitioners. EnviroVet CVC was started in 2011 by Dr Annelize Roos and she has developed a dedicated and competent team. The team has been involved in numerous projects in and around the Cape Province of South Africa, focusing primarily on the sterilization of animals.
Primary veterinary care such as vaccinations, dipping, deworming, treatment of mange and TVT for animals in need are also done. Our service also includes elective surgery, referred by private veterinarians in case where clients have financial restraints. This involves mostly orthopedics, but also includes most other surgical procedures.
Although Envirovet’s main focus is on sterilisation, education is of cardinal importance as well. For this reason we provide as much information and training as possible during the process. This does not mean going into the townships and imposing our views upon pet-owners. We do not simply remove animals, sterilise and return them. Confiscating animals in poor condition merely creates a vacuum which in turn is filled by another pet often as badly treated as the first. The Envirovet team know many of the animals individually, are aware of their circumstances, and beginning with the basic necessity of giving a pet a name, we teach people to respect their pets and treat them with love.
By taking an active part in the educational journey of pet ownership with regular follow-ups and help where needed, we have often been amazed by the positive results. Sometimes it is a long process, but in the end owners are much better able to understand the need for and ultimate benefits of compassionate, informed and caring treatment for their beloved pets.
