We caught up with our local veterinarian, Dr Hendrick Naudé, who spoke to us about what he normally deals with when dogs are brought to the clinic for a check-up or treatment.

“People are now choosing dogs that are more docile,” Dr Naude said. In the article, the Herald stated that reports received from local veterinary surgeons suggested that Randfontein was quiet by comparison to other areas.
