About us

The Inspiring Journey of Value Veterinary Clinic

Value Veterinary Clinic has been the lifelong dream of the Founder and Head Veterinarian, Dr. Falon Olfsen – a dream only made possible through the constant loving support and encouragement of our many valuable customers, family, friends, and even her pets!

The journey to opening our first veterinary clinic started with the dreams and aspirations of a four-year-old Durban girl, and thereafter involved 12 years of tertiary studies, 5 medical and animal science degrees with double honours, three and a half years of being a practicing vet, and two years of being a mobile vet where we had the wonderful opportunity to meet and build our cherished customer base.

At Value Vets, pet owners can expect a warm and welcoming environment where their pets will be treated with the utmost care and attention. We understand that pets are an important part of your family, and we strive to provide personalised care to meet their individual needs.
