Dr. Lesleigh Rous

I grew up in a rural Veterinary Practice in Colesberg ,and am a third generation veterinarian in a family including my grandfather,Robin Rous,my mother, Charmaine Rous and my father, Gavin Rous . When asked as a small child what my father did for a living, my response would be that “he took poo out of horses”. Little did I know that I would one day be following in their footsteps .

I graduated from the Onderstepoort Veterinary Faculty, at the University of Pretoria,South Africa in 2018. I currently work at Cape Companions Veterinary Clinic, which is situated in Stellenbosch South Africa . We are a mixed practice, with a special interest in dogs,cats, racing pigeons and horses.
