MEET THE VETLAND TEAM

Dr Peter Kirchner qualified as a veterinarian in 1992. In 1993 he opened up a mixed animal practice. Shortly thereafter transformed it into a small animal practice only - due to the rapid urbanization of the area. 

Dr Peter is the owner of the practice. 

He is fluent in German so please feel free to ‘Guten Tag’. 

Dr Sonel Snyman qualified as a veterinarian in 2015. She was part of the first group of veterinarians to complete a compulsory community service year.

She joined the Vetland team in January 2020. Dr Sonel loves more complicated medicine cases but also enjoy the various challenges being a general veterinary practitioner.
