Unbelievable, my poor dog has kidney failure and I called and explained the situation that we are new to the state and that my dog was at the end of her life and needed to be put down. The lady refused to help me she told me we weren't established with them amd hadnt spent money there, so there was nothing they could do. Are you kidding me? Instead of helping me put my animal down properly she blows me off because we're new?
Terrible customer service and definitely don't have animals best interest at heart at all. Already a tough situation for anyone and Gate City Animal Hospital doesn't care to help anyone that doesn't spend money there prior. Definitely all about the money and not the care. No thank you, I want a vet who does what they do for the love of the animal.

I had an emergency with my dog, I was there when they opened and they took him right in. Performed tests and screenings so when the vet got there she was able to review everything and give a diagnosis. They called multiple times to keep me updated and put my mind at ease. Dr Heather is the best and I would tell anyone and everyone to use Gate City!

They have an ok doctor he will talk down to you. Also if you get any treatment and they say they want to take a second look to make sure everything healed they don't really care about your pet. they are just trying to charge you additional to look at your pet again. It's really sad.

We took our German shepherd here when we relocated and had an emergency from a self-inflicted wound he had from obsessive scratching. He doesn't like visiting the vet. They took extra time and used various methods to try to make him comfortable. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. We've used them since. You can take your dog by anytime for a treat and to say hello so they're more accustomed to going. They really worked with us to treat our dog for the emergency and regular checks as well. Very reasonably priced too.
