Our story

CapeCross is a full-service veterinary clinic and hospital for animals. It is the realisation of a dream that veterinary doctors Louis and Barbara Hoek as well as Alf and Magdalena Lategan had to open their own practice. In 2009, after having spent two years in the UK, they were able to find the perfect location and returned home to South Africa, where they became the proud owners of an existing mixed-animal practice near Kareedouw, as well as a brand-new practice in Jeffrey’s Bay.

The two practices cover an area stretching from Port Elizabeth in the east to Tsitsikamma in the west. Today, our hospital for animals consists of a dedicated team of specialists (from veterinarians, nurses and support staff ) with an amazing level of experience in the field that can provide high quality and comprehensive services to animal owners and farmers.

The team have a strong commitment to ensuring the best care and treatment for your pets and animals is readily available. At CapeCross, we are passionate about providing excellent service and making your next trip to the vet a pleasant experience.
