Vitalvet Launches Game-Changing Night Nurse Program!

7 February 2025

Here at Vitalvet, big things are happening! Not only are we celebrating a fresh, new website (have you seen it yet? 👀), but we’re also thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new Night Nurse Program!

What does this mean for you and your four-legged family members? It means that, for the first time on the Garden Route, we now have a veterinary nurse on-site 24/7! Yes, you read that right — round-the-clock nursing care for our patients, ensuring they’re comfortable, warm, and receiving their medications right on time. Plus, their vital signs are closely monitored throughout the night.

This is a game-changer for our very sick patients who need extra care and ongoing monitoring overnight. And as an added bonus, we can now extend our hospitalisation services to neighbouring clinics out of hours, levelling up patient care for pets across the entire region.

Meet Our Stellar Team

Let’s introduce you to the stars behind the scenes of this exciting program!

Joining familiar faces Sr Hollie (left front) and Sr Elle (right back), we’re thrilled to welcome not one, not two, but THREE new nursing superstars to the Vitalvet family:

  • Sr Emma (left back): A newly qualified nurse straight out of Onderstepoort, bursting with enthusiasm and energy for her shifts.
  • Sr Ann (right front): Bringing heaps of specialist-level experience from Paarl, Sr Ann ensures we’re always up to speed with the latest in veterinary care.
  • Sr Hanli (pictured separately): Originally from Jhb, Sr Hanli also comes to us from a specialist centre, armed with a wealth of knowledge that’s already making a huge impact on the Garden Route.


We couldn’t feel luckier to have this incredible team on board, and we can’t wait for you to meet them.
