ABOUT

Dr Marlene Armer bought the practice in September 1990 and transformed the small one vet clinic into a multiple vet, fully equipped, small animal hospital. We are registered by the South African Veterinary Council and accredited by the South African Veterinary Association.
We take pride in providing a full health service to your best friend. We feed, recommend and provide trusted pet foods and carefully research and select our veterinary products.

Our goal is the genuine care and comfort of our patients and clients whilst also delivering the best customer care. We aim to always work with patience, empathy and dedication.
OUR
PASSION
OUR CLIENTS SAY
“We took our cat there and it was very nice and they are super nice and helpful”
“Our situation was met with absolute sincerity, empathy to professionalism both Front Desk to Dr’s to the Financial Manager. Everyone gave us peace of mind that good care will be taken with my daughter’s puppy. And they did, they saved him. Post op follow up was amazing. We were kept well informed of his situation which was a great relief. We are forever grateful. Your passion and the love of animals and understanding shines through.”
They were very compassionate with the passing of my dog and even made an adorable certificate with his paw print to take home with me. I absolutely appreciated this small gesture to have my Vinnie close to me even after his passing.”
“The emergency response was amazing when we got there ,our kitty was well looked after and the employees were calm at all times so we weren’t stressed out or anything. It is also very clean and sanitary. I would totally recommend this veterinarian clinic”
“They are one of the veterinarians in the south of Centurion that are open every day of the week. Weekends and public holidays limited times, but they are available for emergencies at short notice outside of business hours.
Although their prices are comparatively high, they provide a good service.
They helped us on numerous occasions when some of our pets were ill or were bitten by dogs at odd hours of the day.”
“This clinic cares as much about your pet as you do. Skillful examinations, prompt service, a personal touch. Truly trust them with my terriers.”
“We took an injured cat there on a Sunday night. Great service, kind and caring vet. They went over and beyond to treat the cat and help us find the owners. Thank you Bakenkop!”
“They took special care with my poor Rhodesian Ridgeback, their vet was able to spot the problem and deliver a prognosis incredibly quickly, and they were very sympathetic when I ended up having to make the decision to put my best friend to sleep. They offered me tissues and water, and even lit a candle as a show of sympathy at my loss. Best of all, they allowed me to pay the bill off in monthly installments. I cannot recommend them enough.”
“Such a friendly and helpful team of experts! I love that they provide water, snacks and even blankets for our furry friends”
Dear Bakenkop team
Wow it is with great great sadness that we had to let Anushka Joubert (Nushi nush) go due to her illness, she was my shadow, my everything.
I would like express my sincere appreciation to the whole team, the administrative staff, the sisters, the assistants, the doctors for the professional manner in which we were assisted in Nush’s very last moments before her passing and also every other time we went for doctor’s visits.
Nushi received the very best from Dr Janine in the last few months of her hectic sick life and it was done with so much love, care and passion. Thank-you Dr Janine for being there for me and Nushi when we needed you the most.
Thank-you for coming out to the house to do the necessary to make it the most comfortable for Nush as well as for us and her 2 sisters. Your care and support is beyond what is expected from you. Thank-you for walking the extra mile.
Thank-you Dr Amy for standing in when Dr Jeanine was not available, also with love, care and passion for Nush.
Sister Cindy, thank-you for your care and always asking how she is when I saw you at the vet, you care and support.
The sisters that always got Nushi’s monthly medication ready, no need for me to follow up and ask, the next moment you get your sms to say that the medication is ready for collection. Thank-you.
Thank-you to Dr Yolandi who assisted Nush with her anal glands and who picked up the cancer. Also so much love care passion

Thank-you to the whole Bakenkop team for your unconditional love and care for our 4 legged children.
We really do appreciate it.
“My dog and I were in major distress after he was attacked by a neighbours dog. The team @ Bakenkop Animal Clinic were amazing in ensuring that my dog is kept alive and also assured me that he will be given the best medical attention he needed. From the reception to the VETs and their supporting team, all were professional and genuinely caring towards my dog. I highly recommend this facility for any pet owner in the area. They get 10 doggy paws ?????for the outstanding work they Do. I know my dog “Poh” is eternally grateful for what they did for him!”
‘Very friendly employees. They took the time to explain everything you need to know about what wrong with your little love one’
“Great veterinary clinic, they really do care about getting their patients healthy and happy.”
“Awesome people that are working at Bakenkop. I will recommend ? them to anyone. Thank you Bakenkop for the support in our time of need.”
“Excellent care, wonderful doctors”
“Great 24 hour vet”
“I can recommend Bakenkop Animal Clinic to anyone who needs reliable and professional Doctors, Sisters and Assistants. I have only had brilliant and caring service from the entire Healthcare Team. Definitely the best Animal clinic in Centurion!”
“Really care about animals, thorough and very good, friendly staff”
“The service from the front desk, the vet’s and the nurses are impeccable. They are friendly, knowledgable and above all professional. The doctor regularly called me with feedback and they took such good care of my sick fur baby. Thank you all at Bakenkop!”
“This must be one of the best vets in the Centurion area. Being available 24 hours a day helped me save a few pets because they could get urgent attention. They really care for your pets and I would highly recommend them. Well staffed and equally well equipped they can handle any pet emergency. They will assist you with anything from payment options to great care for your loved aminals.”
“I will always go to Bakenkop vet. They saved my dear teddy’s life I slept at night knowing he had care around the clock. Thank you to all the staff at Bakenkop vet”
We have never experienced such wonderful service from any VET or Doctor for that matter, and the care that Bakenkop as a whole displayed so much for Munchkin and Missy and I am positive that this is displayed for all of the animals cared for by your professional practise. This includes the Doctors, Nurses and Reception as well as the Administration Division.
It is always a pleasure bringing our animals to your clinic and noticing the cleanliness and friendly attention given by all. Dr Matt in particular whom we deal with is absolutely brilliant. Every employee spoken to was very helpful and polite
If other companies within South Africa followed your example, we would all live in a better country.
Congratulations on the example you display and others should follow suit.
Once again thank you, and we cannot compliment you enough.
“Our little one was hurt and we were referred to Bakenkop Animal clinic.
We were highly stressed because he didn’t look good.
As soon as we arrived, our little one was seen to, diagnosed and put immediately on treatment.
The level of care shown is unmatched. I can’t thank the team at Bakenkop Animal Clinic enough for taking such good care of our puppy. The Vet even called a day after he was discharged to check on him.
That care and concern goes way beyond the call of duty and we truly appreciated it.
I would definitely recommend this clinic!”
“Fantastic professional service. Staff are friendly and quick to assist. Working hours are perfect. Secure parking. Like a one stop shop, they have everything you need. However it comes at a price but every cent is worth it. I would recommend them to everyone. In all my 30 years of having pets they are the best i’ve come across.”
“I have been taking my fur babies toe Bakenkop Animal Clinic for years. They are amazing and have only the best care for the animals”
“Ons is baie tevrede met ons haas se sterilisasie en die vriendelikheid van die personeel.”
“In my 41 years of loving and caring for pets I have never come across a veterinarian clinic that shows so much passion and compassion in what they do. THANK YOU to the Bakenkop team for your excellent care and heroic effort. Although we were not able to cheat death our darling Remi could not have been under better care.”
