We lost our 5-month-old kitten named Bella a few days ago. Our shame, regret and distress will always be not microchipping her. We were under the impression that microchipping could only be done under surgery and that is why we were waiting until we had her spayed when she turned 6 months old. She went missing on Sunday and on Monday morning we phoned the Clinic and pleaded with the staff to please keep an eye out for our cat who went missing on Sunday. The rest of Monday through to Wednesday was spent uploading pictures of Bella on Facebook groups and frantically going from street to street calling for her and putting up fliers. On Thursday morning I went in personally to the clinic and dropped off a picture of Bella again pleading with them to keep an eye out for her. When I got back home I received an SMS from a gentleman who said that he had found Bella in his garden on Sunday ,she was injured(he did not stipulate severely ) He further said to my shock and horror that he had taken her to Brighton Beach Vet and said I should mention his name. He had uploaded a picture of Bella on Facebook and when no one recognized her ,he took her to the clinic. This gentleman had taken the time to place Bella in a basket with a pillow and a blanket. He treated my baby with dignity. The picture that he had so thoughtfully taken was the last memory we have our beautiful baby girl. What happened after he left her at the clinic is a total mystery and we are left with no closure because the staff at Brighton Beach Vet are very evasive and keep repeating that Bella should have been microchipped. I am a customer of the clinic with 3 pets including Bella so they know me. Just a few days before I had taken my 2 dogs to get vaccinated at the clinic. Why did the staff not tell me that a cat was brought in to them when I spoke to them on Monday. If there is a change in staff then why did they not tell me about the cat that was brought in when I called on them at the clinic practically begging them for any feedback on whereabouts of Bella. When I phoned them after speaking to Bella’s rescuer, they said they will call me back but never did .I had to call them again in tears begging for answers and only then did they finally admit that yes a cat was brought in on Sunday apparently with severe injuries and had to be put down. We were devastated. I went back to the clinic to speak to the vet who was not on duty when Bella was brought to the clinic. This lack of decent human kindness and transparency leaves me so many unanswered questions. Nothing the staff said made sense. The staff contradicted themselves as they scrambled to align their stories while repeating over and over again that Bella should have been microchipped. The most hurtful words were from the vet who said she could not understand why we are in a state. This was the person to whom I had entrusted the lives of all my precious babies, who had treated 2 of them a few days ago. We still do not know when Bella died .Was it Monday morning or Sunday night? Why did the staff not tell me about the cat that was brought in? Should I conclude that if Bella was micro chipped she would not have been treated as a stray and would have been given the treatment that would have saved her life?

My jack Russell puppy had frog poisoning by biting a massive brown toad. The toad secretes a deadly poison as a defense mechanism. My puppy was fighting for his life. He didn't look like he was going to make it. This was around 06:30 in the morning. There are no 24 hours veterinarians in the bluff. The only one is in westville and I would not have made it in time because of peak traffic. By chance I drove to Brighton beach vet. Unknown to me they open at 07:00. There was a female Muslim veterinarian there, Dr. Mangera. She was very helpful. She took the pup immediately, put him on some drips, antibiotics, etc. She kept him there for overnight. She phoned me every 4 hours updating me on his condition. Thanks to the mercy of Allaah and Dr. Mangera's skills my puppy made a full recovery. We would just like to say JAZAA KALLAAH ( may ALLAAH reward you) a thousand times. May Allaah protect you and your family from all forms of evil, both seen and unseen. May Allaah protect you and your family from from all calamities, distress, worries, problems , etc. To the staff and fellow vets, thank you very very much. You are doing an amazingly awesome job. You are saving God's creation. From mussadiq and ayesha hoosen.

Brighton Beach Veterinary Clinic is, in my personal opinion, one of the best vets on the Bluff. They may not be the cheapest, but they are affordable and really care about your pets as if they were their own. We don't have a favorite doctor there, because they are all great. I've taken all my pets there for the past few years and cannot think of any bad experiences that I've had, therefor I would suggest them to everyone.

  • Yahuwa's Warrior

Your ncompetence led to the death of my Callen. Do you even have a degree or are you just a taking a chance? People my advise is to stick to the vet in Bluff Road as she is by far the best. I'm just sad she was on leave yesterday which forced us to go to this damned place! I'm now drowning in grief as my baby died an excruciating death. SHAME ON YOU LADY!

  • Muhammed Khan

Truly amazed by the Professional approach by Dr Mangera who was given a list of concerns with my Dwarf rabbit and attended to all of them . She even went the extra mile to share expert tips and advice for handling and care . I am truly taken a back by the attention given to my Furry pet . I highly recommend this Doctor for all your veterinary requirements .

  • Jean Dos Santos

This Veterinary have taken care of all my pets -dogs, cats and birds over a period of 38 years. The doctors all clearly love animals. Whenever one of my pets pass away, I receive a beautiful sympathy card from them. My 2 oldest pets at present is a yellow Indian Ringneck Parakeet who is 17 years old and a cat who turns 16 in November.

  • Paul Langley

We had a very sad experience with my cat on Saturday morning, we opted to put her down deeming it the most humane option. Thank you to the staff and doctors at Brighton Beach Vet, for handling her gently and for having compassion with the fur parents in our emotional time, it is greatly appreciated.

  • Johan

My wife had to put down our dog. As if that is not a traumatic experience in its own, she paid for the boys cremation, only to be called saying "they cant find proof of her payment for the cremation", Now traumatising my wife all over again. Shockingly inconsiderate.
