About Us

• Experienced, caring veterinarian Wonderful, compassionate staff Prices you can manage Intimate, relaxed atmosphere Dr. Andrei Gal and the staff of Chester Pike Animal Hospital have been working to keep your pets healthy and happy ever since the clinic was founded.

Dr Gal’s long experience will diagnose and treat most of the presenting problems. However, he will not hesitate to refer a complicated case to a wide network of specialists. Our interest is to offer the best help possible that will benefit your pet, “not our pocket.” We are your trusted veterinary family practice: big enough to perform routine surgeries and to hospitalize non critical patients, but small enough to convey a feeling of intimacy.
