Caring for Johannesburg's Pets Since 2000.
Our Story
For over 26 years, Fernridge Vet Practice has been a cornerstone of veterinary care in Johannesburg and Gauteng. Founded on the belief that every pet deserves compassionate, expert medical attention, our practice has grown to become a trusted partner for hundreds of families across the region.
Under the leadership of Dr Nicole Basson, our owner and lead veterinarian, we've built a team dedicated to combining the latest advances in veterinary medicine with the warmth and understanding that only comes from truly caring about each animal as an individual. From routine wellness to complex surgical and medical cases, we've been privileged to support pets and their families through every season of life.
Our Approach to Care
At Fernridge, we believe that the best veterinary care happens when we listen, understand, and partner with you. We treat every pet as if they were our own—with gentleness, respect, and absolute commitment to their wellbeing.
Our team takes time to explain what's happening, answer your questions, and help you make informed decisions about your pet's health. Because we know that every family is unique, with different circumstances and priorities, we tailor our approach to suit you and your beloved companion.
