About the Clinic
Country Animal Clinic has been in operation for more than 10 years. Its focus is holistic and includes preventative services like sterilisation, vaccination and microchipping, plus we offer sophisticated surgical and diagnostic procedures, nutrition advice and emigration assistance. We have a Vetshop in our waiting area, and there is a pet grooming spa next door. Our pride and joy is our cat clinic, unique to the Helderberg area, where we offer a separate waiting area and consult room to cats so that they need not share their space with noisy dogs.
Country Animal Clinic is owned by Dr Hilldidge Beer in partnership with Dr Annemarie de Wet. Dr Beer has been a veterinarian in the Helderberg area since 1991. She also owns EberVet Pet Clinic in Strand and six Vetshops. Her passions are surgery, animal welfare and health care intervention at primary level. Several times a year, Dr Beer devotes her time and surgical skills to sterilisation outreach clinics in small towns across the Karoo, Helderberg Basin and Overberg.
Our veterinarians are supported by veterinary nurse Sr Jeanette Rudge and animal health technician Caroline Phadi.
Dr Beer divides her time between Somerset West and Greyton and has a dog, Nonna. When not working she likes to escape into nature; camping is a passion.
My mission is to provide veterinary healthcare to everyone who cares about their pets regardless of their income, and to provide clients with the right kind of knowledge and information to make informed decisions about caring for their pets, helping them live longer, healthier lives.
Understanding why our animals behave the way they do can greatly improve the animals’ quality of life and enhance the owner-pet bond.

Most pets over the age of 5 have some form of dental disease which can lead to more serious illnesses. We offer regular dental checks with scaling and polishing to keep your pets’ teeth in great condition.
