What is the National Veterinary Clinicians Group (NVCG)?

The National Veterinary Clinicians Group is a subgroup of the South African Veterinary Association representing the interests of companion animal veterinarians in the broader veterinary community. Just like there are vets who have a particular interest in farm animals or vets who specialise in wildlife, so there are vets who dedicate their time and interests on companion animals like dogs, cats and various other types of animals kept as pets.
