Our 10 expert veterinarians and medical staff continue to practice the advanced, high-quality and compassionate medicine that has made Gasow Veterinary Hospital the choice of pet owners for generations.
You work hard to ensure that your furry family member has the best possible life. That's why partnering with a veterinary provider who genuinely cares for you both is so important. At Gasow Veterinary Hospital, we are proud to offer comprehensive vet services in Birmingham, MI to address your pet's specific veterinary needs.

If this is an emergency, or your pet is in pain or injured, or you need an appointment today please call our office.

Your pet's health is always our number one priority, which is why for most pets we recommend annual pet wellness exams to ensure that your animal companion remains in good health. If your pet is a senior-over seven for dogs, over nine for cats-we strongly suggest twice-yearly exams and blood screenings.

The after hour clinic alone makes this place absolutely amazing it has been a lifesaver for our dog who has utilize several times. Everyone has been extremely friendly and helpful every time I've called or had an appointment. Also the lab services come back fast, doctors call quickly and answer all your questions once the work is in. You can truly tell that everyone here really cares for animals and enjoys what they do. They really have empathy for you when your furry friend is not at their best. We found this place when our dog could not get into our regular vet, now this is our vet!

I have been going to Gasow Veterinary Hospital for 33 years. They are open 7 days a week which is so great for people who work 9-5 and can't take time from work to take their pet to the vet. When my pup gets a hot spot, I can go that day and wait my turn to get him/her in to be seen. I can't wait 2-3 days to get a hot spot treated. They've been in business 90 years and I trust them implicitly.

Referral from my vet and a better choice. Went to evening walk in and the atmosphere was wonderful. The care was great and put my mind at rest. My Stella is so much better and I'm extremely grateful. The cost was reasonable and as expected. Make the switch, you'll be glad you did!

A little pricey, but I appreciate that they didn't push a bunch of meds and vaccines that I don't want for my pets. They clipped Piper's nails without asking, I prefer to do that myself, but I understand that most pet parents would welcome the service. They said he had flea dirt, but none of my pets are outdoor pets, and even when I bathed him, there weren't any fleas. It's been over a week now and still no fleas.

Thank you to this clinic and their entire Team. I have been in the dog industry for 10 years and coming across a vet with a team that cares as much as they do is SO rare! My pup is experiencing some health issues that is requiring extensive testing and medication. Not only do they call me to check in on my pup, but myself as well. They take the time to answer my questions and do not nickel and dime you. They truly want what's best for your pup and you. Thank you Gasow Team!

I found a stray cat that was in a bad shape. Brought it to Glasgow vet not knowing what to expect. Tricia was an absolute Godsend, to the kitty and myself. This clinic cares about animals above all. That's the way it should be. Great clinic. Great staff. Five stars!

The Dr & techs were very nice once we got into the exam room. You still have to call when you arrive, you can come in just 1 person w your pet however I feel they try to talk you into staying in your car. The staff that comes out to the car and another staffer were pretty unpleasant. My husband was paying as I forgot my wallet & the process for me to get his wallet was a joke they still wouldn't let him in but for a second.

I'd change vets but I can't find one we like. Go here if you have to as the vets & techs are nice but don't expect much from Support staff. It's been like this for quite a while too :-

My daughters cat had to be put to sleep and we did the drive up. She is 19 but this was her first pet to put down alone and she said the staff was amazing! They made her and lily very comfortable and gave my daughter nothing but kind words, they even squeezed her in because they knew how important this was. They also in the past helped with a cut eye on my dog and it felt like they were NOT there just to take my money but to help the pet. Worth the wait and they didn't leave a hole in my pocket!

Gasow has been our family Veterinary practice for over 30 years. We trust the care they provide to our pets and appreciate the staff for all they do, especially during the pandemic. We know it hasn't been easy. They were still always there for us. Their hours of availability are unmatched. Having the on-site pharmacy is also a plus.

We have been a customer of Gassow for 32 years. We moved out of the area to Saline, and continued to return to Gassow. My dog is aging and is having a lot of issues. So we tried to make an appointment to get him in, but they were booked. They told my husband to call at 8 AM to see if there is a cancelation that we could get him in at. So he did, and a 1:15 opened.

So my husband left work early from the Airport, to Saline to pick up our dog, and drove out to Gassow. He was 15 minutes late for the appointment, and they refused to see Buddy, because they didn't want to inconvenience anyone else because we were late. Wow. And frankly, in hindsight the last time we brought him there, it took the doctor about two weeks to return a call to us after they had the results from a test.

When we asked what the best way to proceed would be, she just said to wait a few weeks, implying that he may die, so don't spend the money. This is not the GASSOW that we had grown to love. We will not be back.

Gasow's team has taken excellent care of our dogs for the past 10 years. One frustration is that appointments are rarely on time. Other than that we have been very happy.

I will NEVER bring my dog here again. I took my dog in for treatment, and I tested positive for COVID days later. The vet didn't have on a mask and nor did the staff. When I called, the manager basically said "what do you want me to do about it". Just no care at all whatsoever. If you care about your animals, think twice about going here. They dont. believe that animals can contract covid.

They don't believe in testing their staff or social distancing. And claim to be abiding by CDC Guidlines, but animals can in fact catch any virus from us humans. She was very passive aggressive toward me and had a disgusting attitude. I will NEVER go back here. It's sad that people are not using common sense and putting others at risk in the process.

Dr. Wright and all of the staff were absolutely wonderful. This was the first vet that didn't push me out of the room, he took his time and treated me and my boy life family. You can clearly see his love for his profession, I highly highly recommend this place!

Cannot say thank you enough, Gasow. This was the only vet in the area that would see our dog who had a sudden growth appear, we called eight other vets and were told they could see him in 3 months. Gasow not only got to him that same day but had his surgery scheduled the next day to remove it. We were given estimates throughout the process and they did phenomenal work to help our dog. They go above and beyond for their patients

We have a total of 6 kitties ranging in ages from 5 years to 15 years old. 2 Beautiful 9 year old dogs and now shockingly enough a teacup apple faced chihuahua /mix lil Mama's lil Biscuit! Anyhoo they all. love the care they receive and now we have this special brokenhearted abused lil guy who didn't start out good being born with 2 both rear knees not connected to the bones.

He also has a Spiro fracture on his left wrist which makes his paw abs leg look like more like a seal than a dog . So it's wonderful to know that his Veterinarian practice, Gasow Veterinary Hospital has a board certified orthopedic surgeon on staff

I couldn't get an appointment with my regular veterinarian and was recommended to check out Gasow. Very happy that I did. The staff and the veterinarian were kind, friendly and very professional. I can honestly say that the Veterinarian was one of the best I have ever met. She was just so good with my dog and extremely knowledgeable. I am so thankful for finding this place and would highly recommend this clinic.

Called on 6/26 during business hours. Left a message on their answering machine to schedule an appointment. I never received a response so I tried to schedule an appointment using their website contact form. Still no response. Lastly, on June 23rd I ordered flea medicine using the promotion they sent via email. As of July 16th no vet has approved the refill so my cat will soon be without needed medicine. Very disappointing experience.

This was our first time at Gasow and I was very impressed with the current curbside service. The team and Dr. Fisher were efficient and friendly when I dropped my dog, Leroy, off for a wellness exam. They even squeezed in a much needed nail trim during our visit. Thanks Gasow!

I had an emergency with my dog Remi, and we were recommended this vet from Berkeley animal Hospital, and they were amazing. The price did not break the bank, the staff were all helpful and super sweet and the vet who checked her was amazing. I felt very comfortable and will definitely be switching here for everything from now on.

We've had such great experiences here with all 3 of our dogs. Finn and Marcy especially love coming to the vet and the staff is always so wonderful. We have seen many of the doctors here and we get great care from all of them.
