Overview

Welcome to Gulf Animal Hospital! Since the mid 1960s, our hospital has been proudly serving South Pasadena and surrounding communities with friendly and experienced staff. In 1997, Dr. Authement took ownership and has been happily caring for dogs and cats at our facility ever since. We are a full service animal hospital, equipped to offer routine, preventive, and diagnostic services in addition to treatment for most conditions. You can rely on our team to care for your pet through every stage of life. From a brand new puppy or kitten in need of vaccinations and a healthy start, to the senior pet who benefits from pain management or geriatric care, we are here for you every step of the way

Mission — Strengthening the Veterinarian, Client, and Patient Bond Through Communication. We believe that it is through communicating with you, the pet owner, that we can both work together to give your pet a happy and healthy home environment. While our staff has the knowledge and training to provide the treatment your pet needs, you know them best and will notice signs and symptoms of a problem before anyone else. Pets receive the best care when communication between veterinarian and owner is easy and frequent – we're here to make that happen
