A DOG’S LIFE

Ultimate Pet Care (UPC) is now in Port Alfred and on Tuesday, October 11, the business’s staff were in Kleinemonde and Port Alfred giving some dogs a bit of grooming, to demonstrate their skills and availability to the public. The business was launched in 2012 by CEO Hannes Roodt and has grown exponentially since, with 65 mobile trailers across the country. At the forefront of the Port Alfred branch is Vonny Strachan, who has 27 years’ experience in animal welfare but chose to change to a different means of assisting animals. Joining Strachan is groomer Noxolo Masekwana, who also has animal welfare experience. UPC offers pet grooming, pet sitting, dog walking, delivery of pet food, vet visits and the sale of products.
