Overview

Gaston Veterinary Hospital and Carolina Cat Clinic have joined forces to provide unparalleled veterinarians caring for cats, dogs, pocket pets, and their families in Gastonia and beyond. Our combined expertise and dedication ensure that your pets receive top-notch care in one convenient location

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

Mission — 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
