About Us Serving Gaston & Surrounding Areas Since 1945

Walk-Ins Are Always Welcome!

About Us

In 1945 Dr. Ben Dawsey, a recent graduate in veterinary medicine from Auburn University, saw a need for a full-service veterinary hospital in his hometown of Gastonia. Starting out as the first such facility in the county, Gaston Veterinary Hospital has grown from a 900 sq foot building to the 5000 sq foot building that it is today.

In 1991 a sister clinic Carolina Cat Clinic was founded to provide medical care exclusively for our feline friends, providing a dog-free environment that they and their owners can enjoy.

It has always been our goal, as well as our pleasure, to establish a personal relationship with our clients and their pets. We strive to meet everyone’s needs whether it is a well-pet visit, diagnosis and treatment of an illness, elective or emergency surgery, or client and pet education.
