FAQs

A few quick answers to common questions, so you feel confident caring for your pet.

How do I book an appointment?

The fastest way is to book online: choose your clinic (Bothasig or Monte Vista), your pet, the service, and a time that suits you, then confirm your details. You can also call either clinic if you'd prefer to speak to a person. Bookings come with free cancellation and no credit card is required.

Do I need an appointment, or can I just walk in?

If it is an emergency come straight in, do not wait for an appointment. We recommend booking so your pet can be seen with minimal waiting and we can prepare for their visit, unless your pet suddenly becomes unwell then come straight in.

What should I do in an after-hours emergency?

Call our emergency number immediately on 083 683 6550. The on-call vet will guide you over the phone and arrange to see your pet at our Monte Vista clinic if needed. After hours emergency call out carries an additional call out fee.

Which pets do you treat?

Our primary focus is dogs and cats, and all our facilities and wellness plans are built around them. In some cases we can also help with small pets like rabbits, hamsters and rats - please call reception to check with the vet on duty.

What are your consulting hours at Bothasig and Monte Vista?

Both clinics are open Monday to Saturday, with slightly different closing times at each branch, and Monte Vista offers limited emergency consulting on Sundays and public holidays. For the most up-to-date hours, please check our Contact page or give us a call.

Citivet is the only practice in the world that I would take my animals to. I trust Dr Peter and his staff implicitly. They always go the extra mile for me.

Your care and love shown to Snuggles over the last few months was amazing and say huge "Thank you." Snuggles was very special to us all - our hearts are so sore - we miss her too terribly for words.

You all were so involved with my dog. What an amazing team you all are. I have to say my dog received the best care at the clinic. The moment you enter the door you can feel the warmth and love at reception. Thank you for making me feel so welcome with the nice cups of coffee I received. Thank God I have to say I was at the right place with Tammy.

This is just to say a huge thank you for looking after Fred so well for me. It was fantastic to go away with such peace of mind that he was in good hands. Thank you for your sms messages as well which meant a lot. With best wishes.
