About Us

West Acres Animal Hospital has been part of the Lowveld community since 1992, providing compassionate veterinary care to pets, horses, and wildlife. Our team is passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive environment where both you and your animals feel comfortable and cared for. We know that your pets are cherished members of your family, and it’s our goal to nurture and strengthen the special bond you share with them through every stage of their lives.

The practice was founded by Dr Albertus Coetzee, whose love for animals and dedication to the people of the Lowveld shaped West Acres into the clinic it is today. Over the years, he mentored many of our team members, inspiring the values of compassion, professionalism, and community care that remain at the heart of everything we do. After retiring in 2025, Dr Coetzee left behind a lasting legacy that continues to guide our work and enrich the lives of both our patients and their families.

Today, we offer a wide range of services at our small animal hospital in West Acres, Nelspruit, and we’re also equipped to travel for equine and wildlife care through our ambulatory service. By continually updating our knowledge and skills, we strive to ensure that every patient receives the very best standard of veterinary care.
