Our Services
What We Provide
At VAH, we understand that the patient is a member of a family and as such we will always strive for what is best for the family as a whole, we care personally, professionally. Alongside our values we share with our clients and colleagues a skillset of experience, knowledge, functionality, efficiency and a very African “can-do” attitude.
As advanced general practitioners, we are strong individually but the strength of VAH is not in its individuals but how we represent ourselves as a team. The majority of cases are discussed as a team and the combined intellect, skills and special interests are utilized, thus benefitting the patient medically and the clients financially.
Pet Wellness and Consultations
Regular examinations are an integral part of your pet health care. We recommend that all pets undergo a complete examination at least once a year. An annual exam helps us detect problems early, allowing us to treat early, before they become poorly responsive to medicines, affect the overall health of the animal, cause a deterioration in your pet’s overall quality of life and become more expensive to treat and manage.
The most important part of your visit to a veterinarian is the history you can give and the examination that is undertaken. All of the high-tech tests that can be carried out are always guided by this first consultation. Just as more and more people are getting proactive about their own healthcare, so it is with pets. We offer the following life stage health check-ups for your pet

For Dogs

For CAts

Advanced Medicine and Diagnostics
Victory has an experienced team of veterinarians that have conquered many feline and canine diseases over the years. Dr Ryan has post graduate degrees in medicine and diagnostic imaging, and leads the medical and diagnostics team, but, the strength of the Victory’s medicine lies in it’s teamwork, almost every case is managed as a team, discussing potential differentials and harnessing the special interests of the individuals resulting in the best outcome for the pet and family.
As advanced generalist’s having studied and worked intensively in many fields of veterinary healthcare, we appreciate bringing all of our knowledge into practice every day. At VAH we are happiest when combining our skill sets, whether that be medicine and surgery or ultrasound and medicine etc. the ultimate reward is having a healthy pet at the end of the work day.
Below is a beautiful case where the videos do not do the lovely furbaby justice. Dai Fan Shu, came to us collapsed and septic as a result of a resistant infection in her ulcerated oozing skin, she fought very hard and tolerated many different medicines and baths, ultimately we got her through the medical collapse and diagnosed her with hypothyroidism and skin allergies, which likely predisposed her developing recurrent skin infections and thus the resistant bacterial infections, you can see more about here on our facebook or instagram pages.
Below are 2 videos of Dai Fan Shu taken 3 weeks apart:
Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic Imaging is a vital component of successful diagnosis and treatment of many conditions and diseases of animals. Victory Animal Hospital endeavours to provide the latest, most advanced modalities to help us provide the clearest diagnosis and best treatment possible for your pet.
Diagnostic imaging is required in all veterinary fields, not only to provide diagnosis and prognosis but also to allow us to assess procedures and continually monitor the progress of treatment in our effort to provide the highest standard of service.
With postgraduate studies in diagnostic imaging, Dr’s Ryan, Roy and Owen are well equipped to perform thorough diagnostics and design a treatment specific for your pet.
Echocardiography | Cardiology
Victory Animal Hospital has been providing advanced cardiology examinations including clinical examination, echocardiography (ultrasound examination of the heart), thoracic radiology, blood pressure and electrocardiogram (ECG) for many years. Our veterinarians have always had a special interest in cardiology, and spent many years managing these complicated cases.
We have invested in the a high quality ultrasound machine to enable us to continue to provide the very best in diagnostics including colour-flow doppler, pulse-wave doppler, continuous-wave doppler, B-mode and M-mode measurements.
Other Services Provided
We offer a quiet, warm and a stress-free hospital environment for our patients. Dogs and cats have separate ward facilities on different floors to allow cats to be even less stressed.
In addition, we have cages equipped with oxygen to help respiratory cases.
Victory Animal Hospital also has a separate Isolation ward so that animals with infectious and contagious disease can be safely kept and prevent other patients form being compromised.
For all cases that require 24 hour veterinary care we are now staffed to manage cases overnight with the support of expertly trained Veterinary Technicians, if the case is compromised or needs intensive care, we may recommend a 24 hour hospital where the patient will be managed by a Veterinarian through the night
Victory also has oxygen generators that can assist critical patients, but if you choose to seek veterinary care after-hours we will endeavour to work with that hospital to provide the same level of care and communication as if the patient was still with us.
