Here at Gateway Animal Hospital, we live to care, with an emphasis on top-tier services for both pets and people. We have two thriving sites in West Virginia that focus on quality care, with four DVMs leading the charge and an excellent team of support staff. We offer wellness & prevention services, along with advanced diagnostics, dental care, surgery, laser therapy and boarding. We have front-line tools to support our DVMs including X-Rays, ultrasound, urinalysis, and both in-house and external laboratories. Most of our client base is small animal, but we do provide services to large animals at our facilities as well!
Our two clinics are only miles apart in Charleston and Saint Albans, WV. Located along the Kanawha River, the locations provide beautiful, historic scenery and many opportunities for socializing and activities. With multiple state parks, this is a perfect area to explore the outdoors and take advantage of all four seasons. Whether you enjoy kayaking, hiking, the arts or festivals, this area has something to accommodate all!
