Services
Urgent Care
Gasow Veterinary Hospital provides urgent care for non-life-threatening pet emergencies. Services include diagnostics, wound treatment, and pain management during extended hours. Our team prioritizes cases based on severity, ensuring prompt care for conditions like allergic reactions, minor injuries, and sudden illnesses while advising critical cases to specialized emergency facilities.
Orthopedic Surgery
Our orthopedic specialists treat conditions like cruciate ligament tears and fractures using advanced techniques. Procedures include joint repairs, fracture stabilization, and post-operative rehabilitation. We utilize bone plates, pins, and artificial joints to restore mobility, with comprehensive recovery plans including pain management and follow-up care to ensure optimal healing for pets.
Wellness Exams
Annual and bi-annual wellness exams assess pets' overall health through comprehensive physical evaluations. Services include dental checks, internal health screenings, and behavior counseling. Senior pets receive specialized blood tests and geriatric assessments to detect age-related issues early, promoting longevity and preventing costly health complications through proactive care.
Dental Care
We offer complete oral health services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal disease prevention. All procedures use anesthesia with pre-operative bloodwork for safety. Our team educates owners on home care techniques while treating dental infections and pain management, recognizing oral health's critical role in overall pet wellness and systemic health.
Microchipping
Permanent pet identification through microchip implantation increases recovery chances for lost pets. The quick, minimally invasive procedure places a rice-sized chip under the skin, containing owner contact information via national registries. We emphasize this service as essential even for indoor pets, with lifetime registration updates available to maintain current contact details.

The after hour clinic alone makes this place absolutely amazing it has been a lifesaver for our dog who has utilize several times. Everyone has been extremely friendly and helpful every time I've called or had an appointment. Also the lab services come back fast, doctors call quickly and answer all your questions once the work is in. You can truly tell that everyone here really cares for animals and enjoys what they do. They really have empathy for you when your furry friend is not at their best. We found this place when our dog could not get into our regular vet, now this is our vet!

I have been going to Gasow Veterinary Hospital for 33 years. They are open 7 days a week which is so great for people who work 9-5 and can't take time from work to take their pet to the vet. When my pup gets a hot spot, I can go that day and wait my turn to get him/her in to be seen. I can't wait 2-3 days to get a hot spot treated. They've been in business 90 years and I trust them implicitly.

Referral from my vet and a better choice. Went to evening walk in and the atmosphere was wonderful. The care was great and put my mind at rest. My Stella is so much better and I'm extremely grateful. The cost was reasonable and as expected. Make the switch, you'll be glad you did!

A little pricey, but I appreciate that they didn't push a bunch of meds and vaccines that I don't want for my pets. They clipped Piper's nails without asking, I prefer to do that myself, but I understand that most pet parents would welcome the service. They said he had flea dirt, but none of my pets are outdoor pets, and even when I bathed him, there weren't any fleas. It's been over a week now and still no fleas.

Thank you to this clinic and their entire Team. I have been in the dog industry for 10 years and coming across a vet with a team that cares as much as they do is SO rare! My pup is experiencing some health issues that is requiring extensive testing and medication. Not only do they call me to check in on my pup, but myself as well. They take the time to answer my questions and do not nickel and dime you. They truly want what's best for your pup and you. Thank you Gasow Team!
